[»] Many developments today!! Good stuff!
by tonytraductor - Mar 18th 2008 20:33:36

TickleText now has all kinds of groOvy features it did not previously have.
It shows line numbers, can insert a date, count your words, goto line #,
insert special characters
(well, okay, you open the special character dialog and copy/paste them in),
open multiple windows, open an xterm, open a browser...
Everything has key-bindings for short-cuts.
Fun stuff.
Heck, if it could cook mac-n-cheese, it would be almost as cool
as your mom.

[»] New release 1.0
by tonytraductor - Mar 18th 2008 08:56:59

Tickletext now has the xterm in a toplevel window, as an option, as opposed to embedded in the main window.
It display line numbers.
Most of the buttons have been moved into menus.
(Now, I just want to add tabs for editing multiple documents).

[»] fonts and colors
by tonytraductor - Feb 29th 2008 10:00:47

These are really fluff features, but,
I took off the color buttons and added a color-chooser, launched by a button, so, you now have a full rainbow of color choices, and fewer buttons on the face of the application.
I added a font chooser, as well,
and cleaned up the find/replace dialog.
Now, however, you MUST upgrade your Tcl install if you are not running ActiveTcl8.5.
(There is a link to their freshmeat page here, and the download is free.)

Enjoy.

[»] tmx to text
by tonytraductor - Feb 28th 2008 18:13:42

Okay, I went ahead and added the tmx to text converter, but you will have to put the bash script in your path (in /usr/local/bin specifically, unless you edit the tcl source to point elsewhere).
Instructions are in the readme.
I also reconfigured the find/replace dialog, slightly,
just for aesthetic purposes.

Enjoy

I made seashell the "default" bg color, just because too much white hurts my eyes, and, from what I'm told, a little color may also be less taxing on monitors...not sure about that.
I also added find/replace, and perl as a supported extension.
Now, if I could get it to have tabs or a doc-pane for mgmt of multiple docs, and get it to show line numbers, I might even call it a new release.
Syntax highlighting would be nice, too, no?
I don't want it to get too heavy, though, I want it to be light.
If you are looking for something with tonso nifty features, I suggest AlphaTK (http://www.santafe.edu/~vince/Alphatk.html) or Jedit (http://www.jedit.org) or something of that nature.

I have thought of making it post to livejournal, like logjam, just for fun (and possibly other blogs).
Adding an ftp feature to load your pages to your site might be nice, too.
I don't know...like I said, I want this to be a lightweight editor.
Then again, being a translator, if I could build in certain file conversion scripts (like tmx2txt, xliff2txt, etc.) that might be quite useful to me and many of my translation colleagues.
We'll see about that....

[»] ch ch ch changes
by tonytraductor - Feb 27th 2008 21:44:01

I added a few file formats (.c , .sh...like it really matters, since you could have opened those under "All files" and you can always set the extension by hand, but, hey, a user requested that.)
I also changed the gui elements so TickleText can run with older Tcl, but you will have to change the interpreter from wish8.5 to wish to do so, because I didn't.
I have found that with old wish keyboard shortcuts don't work (I'd have to write that in, which I didn't have to do with wish8.5).
I'm not sure what the case is with wish8.4, which most folks with a modern OS will have (still have to change the interpreter, though).
I still suggest updating your Tcl install.
It looks nicer with wish8.5 too.
I also cleaned up the print proc a bit, so you don't have to save the file to set the filename, first.
