home/config/settings/jdeditor/
Or:
home/config/jdeditor/
In Haiku you should avoid prefix with a dot (.config .data .settings)
If you use IRC you will get faster and better answers than here for short questions like:

Some patches already are at haikuports, maybe you can find some useful information there?

There are some patches around for it also (not sure if it helps, haven’t looked into the source):

Works now from Applications folder. Haiku 64bit newest hrev.

Very nice feature rich App, great to have. Check it out!

extrowerk · February 27, 2021, 7:40pm

Please do not use dotfolders and alien folders on Haiku. With maximal respect: this is not a solution.

10 posts were split to a new topic: Environment Variables Behavior On Haiku

JakobDev · February 28, 2021, 9:45pm

Never though that this would cause be a long discussion. I’m not a Haiku developer but I still think having the same environment when launching from console and when launching from menu would be great. Whatever opinion you have about environment variables, it is fact that lots of programs using them, which needs to be extra patched for Haiku. But I think this should be discussed in a extra thread instead of here.

Anyways, Version 8.3 of jdTextEdit is now out. jdTextEdit now uses config/settings/jdTextEdit as directory. If you have any data in the old directories, just copy them into the new new folder. I also added line operations.

leavengood · March 1, 2021, 12:14am

Thank you for your work on porting your editor @JakobDev. Sorry for the noise about environment variables, I have moved that into a new topic.

JakobDev · March 2, 2021, 9:24pm

I’m currently working on a new design of the settings window:

I’m working on a split view for the next version:

Great work

JakobDev · March 6, 2021, 12:22pm

The current code has been uploaded to GitLab. Would be nice if somebody could test it before I make a release. The split view requires a lot of code rewrite, so there might be bugs left. You can split it with View>Split View. The saved sessions are not compatible with the new version. It’s the best to start jdTextEdit in portable mode (run with -p) which doesn’t effect your data to test it.

I also added a menu to add templates from the editor, so you doesn’t need to copy files in the template folder by yourself, what users might not know.

brunobastardi · March 6, 2021, 1:18pm

Would be nice to add a html 5 page template with new structure…

What about a dark theme?

brunobastardi · March 6, 2021, 8:01pm

How to do that, I could not find the save as template in Menu…

JakobDev · March 6, 2021, 9:08pm

Can you post a template for HTML5? I’m not doing anything with HTML.

Did you mean a dark theme for the editor or the whole software?

You can save a file as template under File>New (from Template)>Add

brunobastardi · March 6, 2021, 10:09pm

Not sure by myself, I would be great to have a dark theme for the editor like we have in Koder (Haiku native editor)

JakobDev · March 8, 2021, 7:39am

Having a dark Theme for the editor is possible. jdTextEdit has already a API for adding Themes.But the Theme need colors for each language jdTextEdit offers, which is a lot of work, and I’m not a designer. Converting Themesfrom other editors isalso not easy.

brunobastardi · March 8, 2021, 3:59pm

ah ok I see… so there is no need to have it for me atm.
Go ahead and do better programming for the developer using your editor…

JakobDev · March 11, 2021, 7:15pm

I had now written a new theme engine and ported a few themes from Notepad++:

Screenshot_20210311_200753
Screenshot_20210311_200820
Screenshot_20210311_200841
Before you get too hyped: It still needed colors for each language. It had only ported the python parts of the themes. If you use any other language with that theme, syntax highlighting will not work.

brunobastardi · March 11, 2021, 8:35pm

Wow great work… Very surprised about the speed you did the theme.
