Hello, I'm working on porting Casey Duncans ExternalEditor helper application to work with Windows. I've got some stuff working, but it's far from complete. I was wondering if anyone else was working on this? I would hate to be duplicating efforts, but I would love to help. -Brian

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but if you've done most of it... anything I can do to help, let me know. -- Andy McKay
Gabriel Genellina <gagenellina@softlab.com.ar> just today submitted a port that looks like it goes a long way toward Windows support. Attached is the helper app with her revisions. Let me know if it works for you. -Casey On Tuesday 21 May 2002 01:08 pm, Andy McKay wrote:

Hi, how do I start this, I made the changes in the browser (opera), installed the latest Python-2.2.1 with tk-support. I can start zopeedit-win32.py by dubbleclick, but than it terminates cause of missing arguments. But when I select zopeedit-win32.py in Opera for application/x-zope-edit, and click on the pencil, I get cannot start application. When I enter /path_to_python/pythonw /path_to_ZE/zopeedit-win32.py and click on the pencil, the sandbox is there for some moments and nothing else visible happens. Can someone give me some insight ? --On Dienstag, Mai 21, 2002 13:19:34 -0400 Casey Duncan <casey@zope.com> wrote:

I'm not familiar with Opera but it sounds like you need to tell it where to pass the file name argument. In Netscape 4, you use %s. My advice would be to look at other content-types in the helper app configuration and see if there are any special incantations shown in them. -Casey
Hi, great to hear, I just wanted to write a mail to the list asking for a joint effort for bringing ExternalEditor to Windows. I personally cannot offer any help, except testing it, since I am working on linux. I have EE installed and it works like charm, it is the solution for a problem, Zope has suffered from for a long time, and which gives a total new view to the Zope-IDE issue. One hint thought for the Windows-helper app, it should possibly not require python at least not with tkinter build in. If it would run and install one "pure" windows, that would be best. --On Dienstag, Mai 21, 2002 11:29:39 -0500 "brian.r.brinegar.1" <brinegar@purdue.edu> wrote:

I totally agree. And I still intend to deliver one that runs native on windows, probably just using the windows scripting host. This version will hopefully tide people over for the time being. I also am thinking along the same lines with this being a new way to approach an IDE. from the bottom up if you will, built as smaller pieces working together with the web rather than trying to write it in one broad stroke (which has always failed thus far). -Casey

I've started a VB Script version for the Windows Scripting Host. Right now I'm in the proof of concept stage. I've got something that opens a file, spawns an editor, gets the process id, and can PUT a file to Zope. (works with SSL too) I haven't figured out how to check if a process has exited. I would like some suggestions on how to handle the config file, I'll probably use the same format as the Python version, but I would also like to take advantage of the Content-type registry Windows has. I'll keep the list up to date on my progress. -Brian

Please pardon my Windows ignorance, but does using WSH mean that IE will be required to be used?

Nope, in fact I'm testing it with Netscape. :-) -Brian

No, although WSH usually comes with IE. However, you can download it separately from MS if it is not on your system already. -Casey
