false lines
ludovic
I would like to know what is going to happen next regarding this
feature I have "transmitted" into the feature request database. It is
very useful to me, working on a scintilla based diff tool. I have seen
your post, Neil (?), but I am out of my depth unless I take a lot of
time, because right know I don't know how the scintilla code works.
Is it going to be (re-)developped, or turned down, or should I do it,
or is money needed.
I would like to enter into contact with somebody by e-mail to know
what to do.
I am using this 1.75 modified by Seith Molloy (for the false lines)
through an old wxWidget 2.7.1, where I just copied the scintilla 1.75
directory inside wxWidgets 2.7.1. Everything works fine except an
annoying bug when I call HideLines(0,0). I am rather out of my depth
with this bug, and I am afraid the learning curve for me to fix it
would be really steep.
In fact I am faced with multiple issues:
+ I am using wxStyledTextCtrl and I don't know if its development is
ever going to be in synch with 1.75. currently it is only 1.72 and I
don't know if the kind of overwrite I have done messes things up or
not.
+ If 'false lines' don't become a core scintilla feature, I will
always have trouble upgrading scintilla in my application.
+ Right know, HideLines(0,0) crashes my app and I don't see how I am
going to get over that wall.
To conclude, I really think this 'false line' feature is quite
interesting. I can provide some screenshots from the diff tool I am
working on. Without this feature there would be no tool, you would
see.

The implementation decreases performance and increases memory use
for all users of Scintilla so I won't accept it in its current state.
For others, the issue is

I won't be working on it. If you, or someone else fixes the
problems then it may go in.

That is what this list is for.
If you want to hire someone to implement this then you can
advertise on the list. I am currently too busy to take this on.

Hiding the first line will touch more code than the false lines feature.
