[...] Real thanks sakazuki-san - I can see you've put a lot of work in ! I'm glad you haven't abandonded this excellent project. Now one-click install !!! RDE's so convenient for testing scripts posted here ... I don't have to think of a name or where to save it on disk - just paste it in and hit F5 ... quicker than IRB !! I haven't found another editor which allows this and it seems such an easy feature to provide. The YAGNI competitors will follow, eventually. I found beta3 accidentally just yesterday and I've been playing for the whole day ... must sleep soon ;-) To Simon, > > > > Ok, here are the first thoughts of a first time user: > > (ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]) > > > > * the syntax highlighting is ugly (ok, that's very personal and of > > cause it can be changed, nice!) > > Hm. > > > > > * it looks overloaded, which can also be changed, nice! > > I also think so. > Hm.reverse ...

I understand he's saying reload the internal translation file by entering a non-existent filename. beta3 came with the old tanslation .XML files - they're not in 1.0.0 and they've gone from the home page. Almost all the visible text in menus and such can be changed via an external translation file. The one I did for 0.9.9.1 still works for me but I'll get round to updating for this release soon. I know what quite a few of the cursor settings in the Editor Properties do and I could probably describe them but it's hard to give a brief hint next to the checkbox without it turning into something like an End-User License Agreement. > > > * the toolbars behave strange, sometimes I can drag them sometimes not, > > if they overlap sometimes there is a '>>' indicator sometimes not. > > I will research this behavior. > A toolbar lock/unlock would be useful (with default locked) so that newbies don't become vexed when a toolbar is snapped off (undocks).

The pervasive rubygems is under anaesthesia on my machine. I run six verions of ruby and only one has rubygems installed via the one-click ruby. RUBYOPT could almost be called an Environment Variable but "set RUBYOPT=rubygems" turns an Application Variable into something much more narrow. All the other rubys need dummy "ubygems.rb" files with just a sarcastic comment in them. BTW, another great feature of RDE is that I can switch between versions with a couple of clicks -- I think RDE remembers the last five in its drop-down menu. [sakazuki: RDE remembers ?infinite? Find/Replace strings - they don't get cleared.
