CodeLobster IDE

Hi,

I've been using CodeLobster PHP edition for a while, I think it is probably the best free PHP IDE out there, but recently it has been hanging a lot.

It happens several dozen times a day, usually just after copying something to or from the clipboard, or after re-focusing the window... I click in the code and... *hang* I cannot do anything for 30secs - 2minutes (in the extreme) it then suddenly comes back to life and performs everything I clicked or pasted as though the actions were queued. During the hang, other programs continue to work perfectly.

It does this on my Home PC, Home laptop and on my work PC, so is not an issue with my machine.

I do not have any plugins installed. Using V3.3.2 - this issue has been in effect for the last 4 or 5 versions.

Does anyone else experience this issue?

Thanks,

Dash

Hi, drendar.

We have only one same report about same problem that we got several months ago. We can't duplicate it

Do you work with a project?
Could you, please, send it to us.
Which files do you edit and what code do you copy and paste?

Thanks.

Hi Admin,

I sometimes work with a project file, and sometimes not, so I don't think that is the link.

The files I edit are PHP, CSS and JS - the hang occurs no matter what kind of things I copy/paste - it can be a page of text, or only a few characters.

The only thing that I can think of that has changed for me since it went like this is that I am now editing files on a network (smb) share on a Windows 2008 Server at work, and a samba share on a linux server at home (mapped to a drive letter)

I don't remember these issues before when I edited files on my local Hard Disk.

Could it be that accessing files over the network directly with CLPHP could be causing this hang?

Cheers,

Dash

Hi Admin / Dash,

Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem with CL hanging?

I am facing the same problem using version 3.6.1.

If it helps my hang problem are when opening files from a remote location. Specifically from a vmware host running LAMP from Windows XP. If I copy the same files locally there is no problem. I have full access to the remote files and can successfully edit them in other editors such as visual studio and even notepad. I would prefer to use CL though as it has proper highlighting for PHP which makes my novice hacking so much easier

Hiya,

The issue is definitely with editing files directly over network shares. Edit Locally - Fine. Edit on a network drive and try to do anything with the clipboard, and it hangs.

I now edit all files on Local HDD, then have an xcopy script that merges the changes up to the server drive.

Smellypom - if your changes are to a Linux server, you would be best editing locally too, then use WinSCP to connect to the server using SSH and auto sync that way - it's extremely efficient and quick.

My current headache with CL is that it crashes when I select Collapse All.

I'll log a separate support call about that though.

Hi, drendar.

Do you use latest version 3.6.1?
If yes - could you, please, send us your source file that crashes Codelobster after Collapse All command?

Many thanks.

Hi Admin,

Yep, I'm using 3.6.1

Can you PM me an email address to send the file to?

Please don't judge my coding style from this file though - it's one of my "throw it together quick to shut someone up" pages LOL

Nick

No Laughing now.

I writes tidy code, me

Hi Dash,

Good advice, I'll make sure I do that...

To Admin,

I'm really impressed at the speed you guys have responded to this issue, especially as I updated an old post with on the off chance.

Thanks,
