Hi,

a very nice improvement the eclipse workbench !

Some questions from one using it already with different other languages.

1. Is there a way to add the idl dev environment to an already existing
eclipse setup?
2. Is there an other update extension planned as using the
Software-updates feature? A shell command without X would be nice on
a unix system. (probably on a win system too, where the user has no
admin rights) Or does one know about something similiar?
3. cvs is one of the oldest revision control systems. Do you have plans
to include others on default. e.g. mercurial
(http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/)


that's for now. I do look now closer into the improvements. :)


cheers

Currently, you cannot modify the list of items in the variables view--it
shows all variables for the current frame. But, a variable "watch"
view is on our list of things to do. This view will allow you to
control what you want to watch by adding items to the view yourself.

(I'm not in a position to give any promises of release date.)

For now, you could perhaps create a temporary pointer--at the command
line during debugging--to point at the item of interest, and call the
temp ptr something like AAAA so that it appears at the top of the list,
for easy finding. I know this not ideal.

My major problem with the Workbench is non-reproducible problems.
Last night, I had another. I had a partial command written on
the IDL command line. To complete it, I wanted to paste a filename
from another application. I copied the filename, put my cursor
at the end of the command in the Command Line and pasted. The
pasted text immediately shows up in the Console window, but I
can't get it to show up on the Command Line and eventually
I had to type the damn file name.

This is not the first time I have seen this, but when I have
time to get back to it, pasting always seems to work correctly. :-(

Cheers,

David

How can I add a var to the variable watch window?
if I am interested to see the content of a a tag of a structure I don't
want to do all these clicks.

we do use an environment where the searchpath is predefined. sometimes
it is unknown to the workbensch. It recovers by .reset.

thats somehow strange. I have had a differnt problem that's the console
window works for output but scrolling doesn't and mouse selecting
doesn't too. I killed it and have had to reconfigure it to solve this issue.

I am quite familiar with eclipse 3.2.x but not with 3.3 so i can't
destinguish if it's a eclipse bug or implementation problem. 3.2.1 does
not have such problems.

cheers

Under File->Properties->Resource->Text File Encoding you
can find a button to switch to UTF-8 encoding. However,
I can't get your title to look right on my machine,
but I don't know if that is a font issue or has something
to do with this.

Cheers,

David

Hi

python does it this way
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

Hi David

I guess the plot routines don't have unicode support while the eclipse
platform editopr has.
If I change the editor to iso-8859-1 all my german Umlauts are written
right and running a program from within the editor does go well.

If I like to use the idl command line or idl prompt it fails. Because
that is always defined to use unicode and I don't find a switch to setup
iso-8859-1

You can for example write a → by pressing (right ALT + i) and this sign
isn't shown in the resulting plot. Using a print


IDL> print,'→'


works because the console output is unicode defined too.


cheers
