RE: Bugs in latest IDE (0.18.6o)

Requests for Multiple Code Editors have come up many times. The present
structure of Code Editor does not lend itself well to multiple instances.
However I have an idea or two on the back-burner for a future release. I
want to get IDE stable and most bugs out before I start requests such as
multiple Code Editors, plugins and custom controls. Release 0.19.0 (coming
next after the 0.18.n series of bug fixes) will concentrate on improving IDE
internally, overhaul IDE.htm and set up some new routines which will pave
the way for Code Editor enhancements.

The error messages from getOpenFileName and getSaveFileName come from
win32lib routines. I notice there is an offering in Recent Contributions
that will help with getSaveFileName. Can anyone work up getOpenFileName to
supply the ext from FileTypes if user does not enter the ext?

I'm unclear which files you want highlighted. If you mean non
Win32lib/Euphoria  files then they are Euphoria and Win32lib highlighted
already. Those added to the project also have their global routines
highlighted. Some of the support files that come in the Win32lib package are
not currently highlighted. You can run winlibscan.exw in the IDE
distribution and indicate all the win32lib associated files you want syntax
colored. This program is useful also when changing to newer versions of
win32lib to update the syntax list for new routine names.

I've fixed the problem with UnDo and will be distributing IDE 0.18.6p in a
few days.

I will make the other changes you have requested for 0.18.6p.

Thanks for reporting these problems.

Since 0.19.0 may take longer than the normal 2-3 month turn-around, expect
several updates within a week or two time frame until all reported bugs
(that I know how to fix) are removed. After that time it may be 4-6 months
before 0.19.0 is available.

Adding:
setWarning(0)
somewere in IDE should correct this, the warnings are harmless, but
annoying.

Also, it would be nice to be able to have more than one code editor open
in IDE, but that can be done later.

In IDE:
If you type in the project name without ".prj" it displays an error, I
don't see why it couldn't just add ".prj" to the end of the name.

In Editor.exw:
There should be an option to enable hilighting for all files, not just
the defaults.

I think this (about control+right-click) should be added to the hint text
when you point to
the layers tabs, it doesn't say that there.
