CodeLobster IDE

I see a lot of requests and they all seem great - can't wait to see what you add in the future. My few requests:

1. This is critically important. I have my projects on drive mappings which are remote mounts using SFTPDrive (like an sshfs). When I load a project, it takes forever, as though the whole project is being downloaded and parsed. Can that be cached and updated automatically instead of being done at start/load? That's a show-stopper for me.

2. This is critically important. Function args don't seem to show in autocomplete/intellisense. One of my project is a few hundred thousand lines of code and knowing all the args is near impossible. I currently use Zend and it reads phpdoc comments and provides that and args when completing a call to a function.

3. This is a nit, not a big deal, but... Include a "dark" colored theme. I use it like a terminal, black background and bright colors. I had to create a whole color scheme from scratch.

4. Consider this my vote for a cross-platform version. Primarily Linux (GNOME), but OSX would be great, too.

5. A way to pay. I like the free version as it makes evaluating it nice, but charge something, please. I would happily pay $100us or more for it if the above issues were resolved (1 & 2). And I would pay a yearly subscription for updates. Get 1 & 2 resolved soon and I can dump Zend's pile of junk.

Good work so far! Thanks!

As a follow-up on my previous post, when I exit the large project, the "ClPhpEd.exe" process runs in the background for ... 36 minutes now. If I kill it, I lose all my settings/prefs. The size of the project file goes from 4+mb to tiny again, but it still fails to exit cleanly.

Hi, woodpile.

1) Yes. We know that this problem is very critical and we are already working on it. We hope that we will finish resolving it by our nearest version.

2) Yes, we already have several requests about this. So we are going to apply it soon also.

3) Do you know some editor with dark color theme. We will very appreciate for links and try to add it.

4) Unfortunately we are not going to create cross-platform version.

5) Many thanks. We will do our best for satisfaction of our customers

One other thing I found - it seems the editor is reformatting my code. I only opened one file and tested a few things that are important to me, but when I reopened in Zend, the formatting was all changed. Is there are way to disable this behavior? That's intolerable - diff people use diff coding standards.

Here is the content of the "dark" theme I created. It's not perfect and I haven't used it extensively, but it's a start.
