Updated to support MyDefrag 4.2.9. Last update adds
Vim support, more info in this
post. Minor update to the Generator fixing a conflict with operators and comments in Notepad++.
This is a
preview/beta release, its not quite finished but should be testable/usable.
So this is the
MyDefrag script syntax highlighting generator that I have mentioned in some threads, it uses the
Formal script grammar that describes the syntax of MyDefrag scripts, and creates config files supported editors can use to highlight MyDefrag scripts, so it's easier to see syntax errors and just nicer when making a script.
The idea behind the generator is that when a new version of MyDefrag is released you can just run the generator again to update the syntax highlighting to use any new syntax, but if there are big changes to MyDefrag syntax that my generator can't handle I will release a new version.
This is the main window for the installer/generator part:
I have tried to make the generator flexible to be able to add support for many editors/highlighting formats, right now it supports any editor that can use
Colorer library including
Eclipse,
FAR manager(My editor of choice) via a plugin and
Freddy, possibly others. also
TextPad,
Notepad++,
PSPad editor,
gVim and
jEdit support is almost finished.
Some examples Eclipse and FAR manager.
Here is the download:
Generator What is needed:
The generator needs the
Manual.chm file from the MyDefrag install directory, it tries to find it but if it can't you can specify it in the left editbox.
If installing Colorer support the generator also needs to find the
catalog.xml that Colorer uses for it's configuration, that is specified in the right editbox.
I'm using 7z.exe and 7z.dll from
www.7-zip.org that uses the GNU LGPL license.
Comments, suggestions and bug reports are welcome.
This update was quite a stepping-stone for me. That's when I decided to start using mydefrag and ditch my other defrag programs.
Thanks.
