    I was thinking about scrapping the other tabs and making them from scratch. As they are crap! Pardon my bad words.

    How would you drag and drop from the File Explorer into Favorites? It's on another tab i.e they never show at once!
  2. Stephen ConTEXT Administrator

    simple:
    1. drag a folder ontop of the icon
    2. pause for a few milliseconds and the favourites tab is opened
    3. move the mouse down, let go and it's done

    Stephen is right. It used to work very well. In fact in Favorites I only used folders never files, and all the folders have been drag&dropped from File Explorer.

    Thanks for explaining that to me, I see what you mean!

    Im supposed to be fixing bugs not creating them! Oh well.

    Will try to correct it.

    I would like to release this version soon. I say this because ConTEXT is used by massive companies like the Military for example.

    The old File Explorer used to delete files without asking and had bad network support.

    Im not going to run away and hide.

    Your comments please!

    Sorry I missed your post about adding a Shortcut to Focus the File Explorer, I think its a good idea.

    Where does new version store settings? Does not seem to be using same settings from the same key in the Registry.

    The new version stores the information here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ConTEXT

    Rather than:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eden\ConTEXT

    There is a Bug which means the File Filter does not work on the Desktop when Selected from the ComboBox at the top. This is being looked into by Jam Software.

    Cant believe I only just noticed it!

    I have been quiet for a while because im working on a few different things at the moment and it's in bits!

    Have remade the History List and im starting work on remaking the Favourites list tomorrow. Have added 'Close All Files' to the Tabs Menu, I want to add 'Close All But This' and also the Middle Click to Close the Tab.

    Glad to hear your working on it. I'm looking forward to the 0.98.7 release
  13. Beanie ConTEXT Administrator

    This is my list so far:

    + New Update Checker
    + New File Explorer
    + New History List
    + Tabs
    Added Close All
    Added Close All But This
    Added Close on Middle Mouse Click

    ! Focus Issue Fix
    ! New Color Picker
    * Line Number on as Default

    Only just got round to starting on the Favourites List, then got the Project List todo.

    Every so often I poke my head in... It looks like some fun stuff is going on. I'll grab the new version of the editor and try it out at work next week. Kudos to Beanie!
