Nightly Build 2197

#6

Hope I will not be banned as spammer…

Jon, what do you think about adding something like that in the build command:

if target == "exec" and cmd == "": window.run_command("show_overlay", {"overlay": "command_palette", "text": "Build:"})
This way if there is no “cmd” and no “target” defined in the sublime-build file, a nice quick panel appears with the available Build variants.

I created a keybinding for this but having it to be displayed automatically when you trigger a Build is even better.

Jon, thanks for the ignore_inodes setting. :smile:

Edit: Seems I spoke too soon… the console doesn’t report skipping any files/folders, but after restarting with ’ “ignore_inodes”: true ', my whole project directory is empty. :frowning:

Is there now a way to disable the console panel from appearing in build systems?

I tried setting show_panel_on_build to false, but it seems to show the panel anyway (and the build system seems to fail silently).

Would love to see *.cache file added to the default “file_exclude_patterns”

Select text near the end of a 20 lines plus (or so) file, then cut it (cmd-x). After that, when you try to place the cursor within the region of the cut text, it always creates a selection from the end of the file.

My Edit menu has vanished from the menu bar:

I can’t be sure this happened in Build 2197, but I checked Build 2181 and there was no problem.

@hubert, I think that’s been around since 2181 – although still haven’t figured out how to stop it.

That sounds similar to selection issues I and others have experienced. Try setting scroll_past_end to true in your user preferences and see if that makes a difference.

I can confirm that the problem of the disappearing Edit menu, which I reported above, has arisen only in Build 2197. I’ve gone back to 2196, and my Edit menu has reappeared.

This is a very minor little UI annoyance, but there is no bottom arrow when viewing long toolbar menus.
I’ve scrounged around a lot of color schemes and here’s how it looks at the bottom of my screen (1920x1200):


I’m not able to scroll down any further using the mouse.

This is a long standing bug that I kind of thought would get resolved, but I think I will post it here.

On windows, if I drag a tab out of a window and drop it outside to create a new window, sometimes the window is created off screen. This can be very annoying because then you have to right click the taskbar item, select move and try and bring it back into view with dragging and the arrow keys.

I have a dual monitor setup, so usually I am tearing off a tab and dropping it on the second monitor. This has been the case on XP and Win7, so I don’t think it is specific to a version of winodws.

I’ve dealt with this also. It can be made less annoying be doing the Move as you said, just tapping the arrow keys, then moving the mouse. For whatever reason, moving the mouse doesn’t work until you’ve hit the arrow keys once.It’s much easier to find the window with the mouse though.

I’m not sure if this was an issue in previous version:

In Windows 7, I’m running into a bug in which

  1. If a menu is too tall to fit on the screen, and
  2. If Sublime Text 2 is on the second screen of a dual-monitor set up (maximized or not),
    the arrow to scroll down the menu does not appear

Hey, this was the last nightly release and it’s been quite a while now - I’m hoping the bus factor has not come in to play here?

Glad to hear, I started to worry too.

Now it shows the problems of a one man project.
When Jon is away, support comes down to the community which is limited and that couldn’t speak in his name.

So I do not want to intrude into the private lives of Jon, but I think this community deserve at least a word when he is away.
Don’t need any explanation, just a “Hey guys, I’m out of office for 3-4 weeks.”

The lacks of feedbacks when posting bugs reports or questions in this forum always bothered me, but before, lot of times Jon directly resolve the issue in the next build, which is the best answer :smiley:
But right now the release of new builds has severely slowed down (note that I’m very happy by the addition to the Build system in the last release) and I wonder what’s the plans for ST2.

In it’s current state, ST2 is perfectly usable and I’m very happy with it, but I think (as some others) that at least API need some love before a final release.
Changing API after will result in a big mess with plugins. (Plugins) developers usually love to be on the edge and use all brand new features which result in broken code for old versions.
I like to have a thread to discuss what plugins developers need/want, but if Jon couldn’t/wouldn’t participate, it look useless.

Don’t know if this is specific to this version, but I often have several projects open at a time, all of which have custom build systems. The “Tools->Build System” menu seems to show the build systems of the project last loaded even if it has since been closed and even when I’m trying to change the build system in a window with a different project in it.

What’s generally considered the fastest build? I just installed 2181 and compared to sublime 1 keyboard input is jerky :confused:

Also, any way to disable those annoying tab animations?
