Sporadic additions(Posted 2006-11-08)
I've added hotkey options which works well on windows but not so good on Mac.

Under cocoamaxgui, keyboard accelerators are configured using both system menu accelerators and the hotkey hook. Tiger also nabs some function keys so there is a bit of a balancing act providing a cross platform solution.

For Linux, it's been a while, not sure what's in store, hopefully next week.

Also begun the svn plugin. The project tree in maxedit is getting a bit of a face lift for the event with any tool able to add hooks for project and file operations so will hopefully open the way for some project configuration enhancements such as dll production, pre and post processing steps, dependencies etc.

Have been wondering where to start with a guieditor shell. Should it be based on maxtk view gadgets, raw maxgui gadgets or maybe something outside the box that lets you configure any static information in a bmx project and modifies it as you go.


Now hosted at code.google.com(Posted 2006-10-25)
Development of MaxEdit was started soon after the first release of MaxIDE. It has been mostly casual development done at home so has taken some time to come together.

To host the project at code.google.com I have added an MIT license which seems to be as close to public domain as you can get without being public domain. Go figure...

This first alpha contains code plugins for BlitzMax, Blitz3D and C/C++. There is also the start of a simple image viewer, an optional history system that archives all revisions, a find in files search tool and a few other bits and bobs.

The maxtk folder contains the beginnings of a new toolkit for MaxGui used by the new Options system which aims to make light work of configuring persistant user interfaces with a flow oriented layout engine.

To check it out you need to have subversion installed and use the following batch file which will create and sync a folder called maxedit from where the batch file is run from.

Oops, remove spaces from h t t p when pasting the following due to blitz forum problem:

svn checkout h t t p://max-edit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ maxedit
