Open Issues

[krasa]

Missing Features:

• [x] indexing
• [ ] toolwindow
• [x] switching between groups for a single file
• [ ] update caches on file system changes
• [ ] language support
  • [ ] grammar + PSI / YAML?
  • [ ] refactoring support
  • [ ] remove from group, add to group actions

Broken things:

• [x] panel scrollling
• [x] using it in multiple editor windows (floating, splitted)
• [x] tab title needs to get updated after switching groups
• [x] nicer tab reusing - for some reason some specific files move the tab
• [x] EditorTabTitleProvider has bad design, two identical files in two windows, in two groups rewrite each others title - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-192305
• [x] cache concurrency

Nice to have:

• [x] get JetBrains to fix the flickering when switching files - the panel is created too late
• [x] pattern support for @idea.related including Project and Module macro
• [x] include all when extension is not defined
• [x] include by name from the whole project
• [x] custom rendering for file buttons
• [x] autogroup by current folder
• [x] autogroup by current filename
• [x] integrate Favourites groups
• [x] unique button file names

Hey, really cool effort! I'll save off reporting any bugs for a little bit as I guess you are probably well aware of most of them.

I am using it right now though and it is already making my life easier.

[krasa]

Well, I now fixed all I knew about and is not on the list. So if you have anything to add...

[SomewhatCloudy]

The number in the top appears stuck in the latest build - I have 3 in a group but it's still 2. It would be nice if it refreshed automatically on file save too. - apart from that I am having trouble coming up with things to complain about but I'll do my best! ;)

[krasa]

Yeah, the number was off by 1 :) The file is indexed automatically by IntelliJ pretty often - I hooked there updating of the panel and the title, I hope it won't lag

I know it's hard, this plugin is just too perfect :)

[SomewhatCloudy]

I can't get any version to compile past 0.4:

editor-groups/src/krasa/editorGroups/EditorGroupTabTitleProvider.java
Error:(52, 9) java: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype

It may just be me being dumb, not a Java expert here!

Also you may want to .gitignore the .idea directory as it's fighting with my config.

[krasa]

Just comment that method, it is from a hopefully future api.

Done

I would almost release it, but the scrollbar is hopelessly broken https://gfycat.com/FelinePleasingGadwall

[SomewhatCloudy]

I'm also getting an error in PHPStorm: org/apache/commons/lang3/builder/ToStringBuilder

Not sure what version it started in though.

[krasa]

fixed.

[SomewhatCloudy]

Cool, that worked!

I'll have a proper think about it and give you some feedback soon, hopefully! I guess there is nothing that can be done about the juddering?

[krasa]

I have asked on the forum, but it will most probably need a change in the platform. Or maybe it would be better to have a vertical bar on the right.

[SomewhatCloudy]

I suspect a vertical bar would look like crap. It's not possible to pre-draw then to speed up render? If not drawing a grey box first (and adding the contents later) might look better (again if possible).

Some issues I have come across: If you have two files with the same filename (in my case a route and a controller) there is no differentiation. Perhaps the path segments that are unique may help, so... 'controllers/mine.js' and 'routes/mine.js'

I also like the 'switch editor groups' button, but think it would be better if, when selecting a new group, it opened alongside the current group rather than replacing it - or add a ctrl+click for opening in a new tab.

Adding a @idea.title to a file that is already in a group also makes it behave strangely. I suppose that is to be expected though.

[krasa]

I just made it as fast as possible, the panel is created under 1ms, but it still flickers, because it is executed asynchronously.

Agree on those 2 other things.

@idea.title creates a new group...

[krasa]

Good news: it will not flicker in 2018.2

[SomewhatCloudy]

Cool! I'll try that out.

[codessentials]

I cannot install the plugin in WebStorm 2018.1.4. I get:

Plugin 'Editor Groups' is incompatible with this installation.

I'm running: WebStorm 2018.1.4 Build #WS-181.5087.27, built on May 21, 2018 JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b39 amd64 JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o Windows 8.1 6.3

[SomewhatCloudy]

Congrats on the release! Look forwards to giving the final version a try.

[krasa]

I have made it compatible with 2018.1, not sure how well it will work. Now it is pending JetBrains approval.

Or you can install it from here https://github.com/krasa/EditorGroups/releases

[SomewhatCloudy]

Just installed latest (.20) on PhpStorm 2018.1.6 on OSX High Sierra and everything works fine! it of an upgrade from 0.4, nothing really to complain about!
