BF does not open files by means of directory alias

Hi

I installed in my MacBook Pro (10.5.4.0) BF via fink. It works fine at least with files placed in the regular directories, however if I create an alias of a directory into another, Bluefish is not able to jump into it. I'm using aliases because my files are placed in a USB Hard drive.

Any idea about how could I fixed?

Thanks

JAB

I have no idea what an alias is and how it works. the development
version (in cvs) uses GIO/GVFS to open files, perhaps it is 'alias'
aware. The last development release 1.1.6 uses GnomeVFS to open files,
that too might be 'alias' aware. Have you tried any of these? Are there
other (multiplatform) programs that have similar problems or is it
Bluefish specific?

I've talked to a few people that use macs.  It sounds like an alias is a
throwback to System8/9 and acts more like a windows shortcut, using
filesystem attributes to mark it as such.  Applications written to use
Apple's open() wrappers (obviously) work, but I don't think gio would
have this functionality.
Juan might want to try a symlink instead.  I'm not sure how to create
one of these using the finder.

Re: BF does not open files by means of directory alias [SOLVED]

Hi

Thanks both, Olivier and Alistair, for your comments. I tried to use a 
symlink (via terminal) instead of Mac alias ... and it worked!! it seems 
that such sort of alias is not very well appreciated by BF  so I'll have 
to create all using symlinks ...

Olivier, I faced the same problem with Scribus and Gimp. I'll try to 
check with them symlink now.

Thanks

Change the background color of the GUI

Hello,

Is it possible to change the background color of the GUI? I would like to use black as my background color because it is easier to my eyes than basic, bright white :) What would I have to change from the code to make this change?

I've used Bluefish for a day now and it's very promising, but my eyes are starting to suffer because of the white background :(

Re: Change the background color of the GUI

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't know to change back (or fore)ground color,
tho' I would like to find out for the same reasons as you. I find the
white colour to be fatiguing too.

Use the body command. For a white background I use:

<body  bgcolor="#FFFFFF" >
you can also  use #ffffff for white. 
The string #FFFFFF represents a color in RGB expressed as hexadecimal 
notation. For a light blue background try #F0F8FF.  Hexadecimal (base 
sixteen numbers) run as 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F.  I can post 
a fairly complete set of colors in hexadecimal notation if there is 
interest.

Re: Change the background color of the GUI

Uhm could you be a little bit specific? I'm talking about bf's GUI where you can see your actual code and that color I would like to change to black or some other form of dark :)

I don't find a way to adjust the Bluefish editor background. You would 
need to modify the source code some way.

bluefish follows standard gtk styles. if you use a gtk theme that has a
dark editor and bright foreground bluefish will automatically use it.

you can override your gtk theme for certain components (for example for
the text editor) in a ~/.gtkrc but I don't know exactly what the format
should be to set a dark color.
