Hi,

I have been using Komodo Edit version 6.x for quite a long time now and I always loved the extension "Source tree" that displays a list of prods side by side to the code browser and makes it quick and easy to see both the definitions of the procs and also to jump directly to the proc within the opened file by clicking on the entry in the "Source tree".

Now, Komodo Edit is at version 8.x and the extension does not work on never versions than 6.x. However, Komodo Edit 7.x an onwards have another extension called NST (New Source Tree) which basically does the same job. But, it does not yet support Tcl. So, this is actually holding my back from updating Komodo Edit to a newer version.

The Tcl implementation for "Source Tree" was done by Detlef Groth (dgroth) and I wonder if anyone here is capable and willing to add Tcl support to NST?? The implementation is in Javascript but I have never used that language so if I try it myself, it would involve quite a learning curve. Maybe, it is simple enough for someone who is fluent in Javascript?

Hello Torsten,

sorry I can't help here. I am not using Komodo anymore, tired with all the required updates, restarts during extension development for getting the Tcl support I need (Itcl, Snit) and following breaks in the next release either of Komodo or the SourceTree-package. Although I forked the GIT-repro recently I did not had the time to learn to use Git just for this mini-package. Some time ago decided to stick with my good old Microemacs forever. Extending here is just a small macro line, now need to any restart ... just works, even if "ME" looks a little bit ancient to our modern eyes.

regards,
Detlef
