Re: Running SciTE with file parameter won't load last session

I would also ask for some way of avoiding session overwrite

If for some reason SciTE isn't opened and I accidentally double click
file associated with SciTE, or some application launches SciTE as
default application for some file type, my previous session is lost.
What I do then is load last 10 files from recent file list menu, which
is bad

There is "loadsession:" command line argument, but I can't think how
to use it to solve this problem

Maybe "save.session" property could have one more value - 2, which
would indicate opening single file *not* to override "save.session"
value

Moving tabs around

Greetings!

I use SciTE on both Windows XP and Debian Linux, and for the most
part, the two are compatible; everything that I want to achieve, I can
do in either. There's just one small difference that occasionally gets
in the way, and that's dragging tabs around to re-order them.

On Windows, tabs can be reordered by simply dragging them around. On
Linux, this does not appear to be possible. Is there a config setting
that will enable this, or is the feature simply not available?

Re: Running SciTE with file parameter won't load last session

Thanks Vlastimir,

I'm on Linux and can probably make my file associations with
"preloading" session file, but that doesn't seem like right solution
similarly as overwriting session file doesn't seem to me like great
decision. At least option to cache session file before overwriting and
reload on possible user demand would be more sensitive approach

I'm not sure if Lua start-up script can be used to copy session file
to temp folder in case SciTE overwrites it, or more precisely if
session file is removed prior Lua start-up script initiation

I separate SciTE processes/windows when used for widely separate 
tasks by changing SciTE_HOME using autohotkey, then the one where 
I want the session saved is separate from 'normal' SciTE processes.

The ahk file has 2 lines only, for example:
   EnvSet,SciTE_HOME,D:\MyApps\wscite\mplab
   Run,D:\MyApps\wscite\SciTE.exe

Of course, this needs a separate set of configuration files. I use 
it when running with a different asm.properties, but later found 
it convenient for saving sessions as well.

The above may or may not be suitable for everyone, but at least it 
is another way of approaching a similar issue.

Re: Running SciTE with file parameter won't load last session

It seems it can, but problem still not solved. I have this function in
Lua start-up script:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
function store_last_session()
    local ses = io.open(props["SciteUserHome"] .. "/stored_session",
"w")

    ses:write(io.open(props["SessionPath"], "r"):read("*a"))
    ses:flush()
end

function restore_last_session()
    scite.MenuCommand(132, props["SciteUserHome"] .. "stored_session")
end
========================================

and I call "store_last_session()" in "OnOpen":

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
AddEventHandler("OnOpen", function()
    store_last_session()
end, 'RunOnce')
========================================

which works just fine, and last session is saved in "stored_session"
in user's home folder.

Problem is how to load it automatically without browsing to it. SciTE
menu command 132 (IDM_LOADSESSION) doesn't seem to accept arguments,
so "restore_last_session()" function is useless, as it just executes
LoadSession menu command.

This is still better then nothing, but I wonder if there is a way to
automate it completely?

Re: Moving tabs around

Re: Running SciTE with file parameter won't load last session

There is a typo in:

> function restore_last_session()
>     scite.MenuCommand(132, props["SciteUserHome"] .. "stored_session")
> end

it should be (notice slash):

scite.MenuCommand(132, props["SciteUserHome"] .. "/stored_session")

but that doesn't change anything.
Worth mentioning is slash character in store_last_session() which is
not so obvious and if user tries this on Windows it wont work unless
replaced with two backslashes

Font spacing issue

   This is the normal behaviour. If you want fixed-width spacing then
you have to choose fonts and font attributes that match your
preference.
