GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 614081
View in Browser function missing from 2.0.0.1 Build
Last modified: 2011-01-17 05:55:30 UTC
Previous win32 versions seemed to have an issue with previewing code in a browser when clicking the 'View in Browser" button - but there was still an option to manually configure the commands to get it to work (not sure if a windows user did get it to ever work). See bug for an example: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605962 Now in 2.0, both the View in Browser button and the options to edit commands are missing from the 2.0.0.1 build. I found the following statement: 2010-02-14 19:02 Olivier Sessink * [r5741] src/gui.c: remove 'view in browser' button on WIN32 (from http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/changelogs/ChangeLog_2_0_0) 1> Are there plans to bring this function back for Win32 versions? I just narrowed my decision on what editor to use between four editors (Bluefish, Amaya, Aptana, and Notepad++) but noticed this function has now been removed (I had 1.3.7 installed previously). 2> I can test commands on my system (Vista 32-bit) if needed, if you can bring this function back. I use Opera but also have Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari for Windows (can try Chrome if needed, but rather not). Thanks for any information and future plans in regards to this!
*** UPDATE *** Just saw in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612598#c3 the following: Olivier Sessink [bluefish developer] 2010-03-11 21:04:11 UTC in 2.0.0 (the final version) the view in browser has been removed because it is not functional. We hope to fix this in 2.0.1 (end quote) I did not see that before so my bad. BUT if you need me to test the preview function in the 2.0.1 release, let me know. Otherwise, I will just check in periodically to see when next version is released. Thanks.
yes it can be tested, it should be functional in SVN right now.
Latest win32 install package I could find was Bluefish-2.0.0-1-setup.exe, which is the one I currently have and does not have the view in browser option. I see current revisions, but not a windows installer based one.
It should work on 2.0.1 once you have set your browser in the preferences, can you confirm that?
(In reply to comment #4) > It should work on 2.0.1 once you have set your browser in the preferences, can > you confirm that? From what I remember it did not have the option, but I could be wrong. I just got a new laptop and already wiped my old one and gave it away. I now have Windows 7 64-bit and can try to load Bluefish again on this new laptop. Worst case I can load the Linux version as soon as I narrow down the flavor - drive is already setup for it. BUT I have to use Windows for school (web development so they force Adobe on you) so would like to use Bluefish on Windows also. I am almost done tweaking my laptop then can add some other things including Bluefish. BTW, the missing function is not a game-stopper for using Bluefish (if it is missing), it would just be nice to have it. -TR
