My thoughts on Kod
Martin Bean
IDE for me when it matures. But two things that are stopping me using
it now are:
1. Frequent crashes. Kod seems to frequently crash, from opening a
file to switching focus to my web browser to view changes to a web
page. Not good for iterative development.
2. The syntax highlighter seems bodged. For example, when writing a
PHP script and opening quotes, it re-colours the code from that point
on and won't right itself when I type another quote to close a string.
To restore formatting, I have to either select an alternative syntax
and then switch back to PHP; or cut the whole document and re-paste.
I realise Kod is in very early days, but I feel these two are the
major issues at the moment.

To my knowledge, 99.99% of all crashes are due to either:
1. The source-highlight parser (which we recently abandoned)
2. implicit C++ destructor accessing a prematurely freed observer
(When closing the app or a window) in chromium-tabs
No 1 is no longer an issue (although the new text parser will probably
case a crash or two), but no 2 need some love. Fixing it is—like
everything else—up being fixed by anyone who wants to fix it.

As mentioned, we are moving toward a different text parsing system
(with a much cleaner design). Thus any syntax highlighting-related
bugs in 0.0.3 are no longer relevant.

I agree. Crash bugs are #1 blocker for people to use Kod 0.0.3 IMO.

How to restore lost texts/files ?!
Is there anywhere temp (temporary / backup) files with edited texts?
