Cobra Forums

I stubbed out a new editor page for this family at wiki:GtkEditors. Any Gnome or gedit users in the house?

One of our users, todd.a, has done this and attached the file to the wiki page mentioned above. I tried it for gedit on Mac and it looked great.

I also tried on Linux, but for some reason gedit would not pick up the file. Not sure why, so if you have an idea, let me know.

Tried on windows Xp ( gedit-2.28)
Also didnt seem to pickup the config file

tried converting config file to use dos line endings - also didnt pickup config.

I tested on MS Windows XP Pro SP 2 and it works for me. I used gedit 2.29.2 by drilling down at:
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gedit/

I put the file at:

Code: Select all

%userprofile%\My Documents\gtksourceview-2.0\language-specs\

Make sure the file is called "cobra.lang" and not something mangled by the browser like "cobra.lang.xml".

Let me know if you can make it work or not. It's definitely working for me.

For the Mac, they also had an older download link on their front page, as they do for Windows. I just copy the link and chop it down a bit so I can look at the releases myself.

I tried again on opensuse/linux with a fresh download and could not get it working.

OK - got it working - total operator error ( using the downloaded html file rather than the original content file)

Thanks for the update. I added a "Troubleshooting" section to the wiki page.

I still can't get it working on Linux even though the same file works on Mac and Linux. I tried some things like resaving it to UTF-8, but no improvement. I mostly use Linux for servers anyway so it's not a big deal, but if someone has it working on Linux, I would like to hear about it.
