After
GnoCHM makes no real progress in development
CHMsee is a really good alternative to read Windows CHM-Helpfiles. The
newest version 1.0.6 of CHMsee now shiped with the long missed index feature (for Ubuntu Jaunty
a newer version of libgcrypt11 is required).
This le me think about my gEdit Language Reference Plugin again. So i added support for various CHM viewer like GnoCHM, CHMsee, XCHM or KCHMviewer. To support the project i created a complete german translation for CHMsee too that may ship with 1.0.7 one day

Again i updated my gEdit Language Reference plugin.
Version 1.03 contains:
* a bug fix for the "None Type" problem (no programming language is set)
* When opening Evince starting automaticly a search with the selected word of gEdit
* Error dialogs for problems getting the reference file
(dialogs based on Zenity)
Thanx to Curtis Hovey helping me with the selection stuff in gEdit. Thanx to the Evince team for adding the requested search word command line parameter. Hopefully Yelp, GnoCHM or web browsers will add such command line features in future. So i can add this feature for CHM, DocBook and HTML documents too.
UPDATE:Now version 1.04 is online which ships a complete with localisation in german and english.

I updated my Language Reference plugin for gEdit again. Now it works with unsaved files too. There is a important change of naming the language reference files. Please reread the instructions.

I updated my
gEdit Language Reference plugin too. If your reference is a HTML page it will now opened in your default browser (whatever it is) and not in Firefox only.

On my way bringing
SweeTS - delicious TypoScript development to Linux, i wrote an
plugin for opening an external language reference for the language you are editing in gEdit. The additional "gedit-plugins" package must be installed first. The plugin is localized in german and english.
How it works:* The external language reference can be an PDF, a DocBook XML, a CHM Windows helpfile, a PostScript file or a HTML page
* Copy the files of the gedit_reference_plugin.zip into "~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins"
* Create a folder "help" in "~/.gnome2/gedit/"
* Copy your language references to "~/.gnome2/gedit/help"
* Set the filename of your reference document as the programming language name (you can get the name easily from "View > Highlight Mode"). An example: if you have a CHM documentation "python25.chm" then rename it into "Python.chm"
* Start gEdit and enable the plugin "Language Reference" in the preferences
* After a restart the plugin appears in the help menu
* Assign the shortcut "Alt+F1" to it
* Yelp (Docbook XML), CHMsee-GnoChm-XCHM-KCHMviewer (Windows comiled Help CHM), Firefox (HTML) or Evince (PDF, PS) are required
* Error dialogs based on Zenity
So now you have an easy access to your programming guides and preferences
If you are using Ubuntu you can grap a
up-to-date version of GnoCHM at GetDeb.net.
