hello,

thanks for your great editor.
at the moment I try to include your editor in our development-environment.

i have same questions.

1.
how i change the workspace for piew, becouse it set to piew-folder (when i will push the button "open")?


2.
how i can close a file that is recent open, i can only exit the program, how i can open more than one file in one piew process?

3.
how i can fully replace the progress editor, so progress called your editor ?


Only two error-messages display sometimes when i use your great tool


first error message dsiplay when i use the "CHECK SYNTAX" Command.
second error message display when i use the "RUN" Command, (i think is a problem with connect to the database).


german original error-message

---------------------------
Fehler
---------------------------
Kompilierung abgebrochen. SAVE nicht angegeben und r-Code Datei vorhanden: "Name" (468)
---------------------------
OK ---------------------------

translated it means:
compile is broken. save not specify and r-code file is exist.


german original error-message


---------------------------
Fehler
---------------------------
** Die Datenbank "Name" wird im Single-User Modus benutzt. (263)

---------------------------
OK ---------------------------

translated it means:
the database "Name" is used in single-user modus (263)



Today your Piew Editor can Run our source-files and check the Syntax for it, but the calll occured external at the moment. i hope you can give further information do integrate your tool stable in our environment.



very good editor,
thanks for developing...

1) how i change the workspace for piew, becouse it set to piew-folder (when i will push the button "open")?
Piew always try open last used directory, if not found open Piew main directory

2a) how i can close a file that is recent open, i can only exit the program
- from menu File / Close File (Ctrl+F4)
- "Cross" on the Tab
- right mouse click on Tab and Close

2b) how i can open more than one file in one piew process?
- in options there is setting Environment / Allow only 1 instance = True (default) then all files will be opened in one Piew. For False each new file (double clicked from system, will open new instance of Piew). Otherwise if you use menu Open file or drag and drop will always open new file in the same instance.

3) how i can fully replace the progress editor, so progress called your editor ?
you can use Options / Associate defined extensions with Piew to open *.p, *.w ... files with Piew on double-click in Windows. Fully replace - it depend what you really want to do ... some things can be done in Piew and some things can be done only in progress editor. Piew is not a full progress editor replacement.

Kompilierung abgebrochen. SAVE nicht angegeben und r-Code Datei vorhanden: "Name" (468)
Compile aborted. SAVE not specified and r-code file exists: <file-name>. (468)
This was already fixed in 5.33 - [13.03.2018] version. Always use last version. You can use Help / Check for Updates

Die Datenbank "Name" wird im Single-User Modus benutzt. (263)
The database <file-name> is in use in single-user mode. (263)
You work with database in single-user mode (probably you have opened another instance on the background). Open database in multi-user mode. (use *.pf and *.ini for configuration)

If you need help you can contact me also direct from Piew: Help / Send me an Email:)

5.40 - [04.01.2019]
+ New installer. I keep both: installer and .zip for experienced users
* Search properties (Wrap, Case, WholeWord, RegExpr, Beginning) are now global. They was specific for each document and if you switch tab then try find next can fail
+ Added .cls to default Progress extensions (existing users should add it manually if they use .cls sources)
! Fixed bug with parsing WORK-TABLE in code explorer (not displaying table name)
! In some cases identified buffer definition as temp-table in code explorer
* Parse .cls files always with generic way, not as structured source
* Speed optimization on generic parsing in code explorer
! Fixed current line always visible

5.41 - [08.01.2019]
* Fixed refresh for non structured sources. Commented lines could appear in code explorer

Block-folding a little bit confusing as it hides the END-statement as well. Is there a possibility to change this?

It's normal behavior, even other editors (e.g. Visual Studio) hides last line of the block.
I take a look on this, maybe some settings can be used for this.

Hi,
I just discovered Piew. It's really a fantastic work .

I'm facing an issue with Progress Executable Path . I think all is OK with the settings but I still have an error when I try to launch en external Progres Tool ...

Do I do something Wrong ?

Another point : Is it possible to open a include file by simply clicking on it's name from an other opened source in the editor window ?

Again, thanks for this awsome work .

1) you have wrong path in your settings (you set directory, not the executable path). See correct example:

2) Yes it's possible. Select your include and press F4 (Open Selection as File). File is then searched based on your your ProPath settings and current directory. Check your ProPath settings.

Hi. Is there any way to use piew with koi8-r?

Try set "Oem (ASCII/DOS)" charset in settings. On Russian windows environment it "maybe" display something :) Currently Piew support these Cyrillic codepages: 1251, CP866 & Oem (ASCII/DOS). If there is still problem send me email (you can do it from Piew, Help section) and i try add support for Koi8-r. I must do some conversion hack on background to able do this.

5.70 - [16.05.2021]
+ Application now run on NET Framework 4.8 and higher (before 4.6.1)
+ Added PL (Procedure Library) viewer. Works for version 7 & 11 libraries (obsolete version 6 is not supported). You can use "Open" action - quick load to Piew. Try load text files not binaries ;) "Extract" files from PL library. "Report" - display content of the library (file name, size and date). Piew will work with libraries in read only mode - no adding or modifying. Just double click on .pl file in file explorer, open from menu or drag and drop to main window to activate viewer.
+ Added quick "Open" action to menu in file explorer same as double-clik, enter)
+ Added "Copy Full Path" to file explorer context menu
+ If you open Piew with file then initialize file-explorer in file directory
* Fixed bug when path from PROPATH was not highlighted in file explorer (case sensitive comparing)
* Fixed crash when you try search over directories with access denied
+ Converter.exe is now digitally signed

Tip: Existing users can add .pl to settings as known PROGRESS file extensions and register it. PL files will have orange icon and on double-click Piew show content of the library

That is great, thanks a bunch. Can I ask how to get that dark theme for the editor with black background as seen in the second screenshot on the website?
