Please find attached a Suversion patch for Fluid 1.1.6. This patch adds external editor support when editing code.

When a code node is selected, the user is presented with the standard code dialog box. However, there is an additional "Editor..." button that when clicked will launch the editor command defined by the FLUID_EDITOR environment variable. If this variable is not set, then the user is presented with another dialog that instructs the user how to set this variable both in bash, csh and in Windows (NT and XP).

This patch is a port of the original patch (see fltk.general for message Fluid External Editor Patch for URL). I simply just made this patch work. I retained (as best I could) the coding style of the original authours. Personally, I do not like this style and would gladly clean up the code to match FLTK's coding standard. For example, this does not use the fltk namespace directly rather calls the compat headers Fl.H and the like.

One other thing, I am unable to test the WIN32 code. I do not have Windows at work nor at home.

If possible, I'd like this patch to become part of Fluid. Fluid is a great GUI builder but I miss my syntax highlighting, code expansion, code folding abilities of my current editors (gvim, nedit, kate, etc.).

Thank you for your time,

Alvin Beach

I would like to withdraw this STR. I no longer use this feature or believe it offers any value to FLUID. It is just cluttering the STRs.

I no longer use FLTK 2.0. I exclusively use FLTK 1.3.x from SVN.
