Hello, I was trying to get answers for these. SPE homepage was down. Then I found it on berlios (http://developer.berlios.de/forum/forum.php?forum_id=12695) but no one answered since 5 days. In fact nobody seems to write in anything to that forum, I presume it is dead. I have no other choice than ask it here. I apologize in advance, they may be silly questions.
1. How can I navigate between opened files? Usually I open 10 or more files at the same time. There is no way to quickly scroll the tabs and select the one that I want. Tabs simply run out of my screen. 2. I tried to use the "Browser" for navigation but it tells me "file is already open" and it won't switch to the file. Annoying. 3. I also tried to go to the file using Ctrl+Enter (when the name of the file is written under the cursor). The same problem: it tells "file is already open", and it will not switch to the (already opened) file. 4. While running a program from inside SPE, the output window display everything in HTML, including the stdout of the program. I have a program that produces a very nice output when I run it from a terminal. But it is unbelievable what it looks like when I run it from SPE. :-) Especially if you print messages like <class __main__.A> they will silently disappear from the output screen because they look like an invalid HTML tag. Frustrating. 5. There should be a an option to clear the output panel before running the program anyway. I see no way to clear it at all. 6. When I create a new file and select File/Save as, the dialog window comes up. It is so small that I cannot see the names of the shortest files and it is not resizeable. 7. Whenever I open a file or start a program inside SPE, I get a "Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding" error message. 8. The "Explore" panel on the left comes up for every file that I open. I do not want it to come up by default, because I have screen resolution problems. I did not find any options/preferences to change the above things. Some of the above might be new feature requests. I recently switched from DrPython to SPE. SPE has more functions and it could be much much better than DrPython, but it has big problems. For example, I like that SPE saves the workspace automatically for me. But it takes two minutes to start up SPE, because I have to press the "OK" button on the ISO8859-1 message for each file that is re-opened. I very like the Browser window, but I cannot use it for navigation. I like the new style save file dialog, but I cannot use it because it is small. I like the code completion.
