BBS: TELESC.NET.BR Assunto: SlyEdit update regarding UI modes De: Nightfox Data: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 15:38:40 -0800 ----------------------------------------------------------- I've just pushed an update to SlyEdit and made a merge request; one of the changes is that SlyEdit now has a user setting to choose their desired UI mode (Ice/DCT/Random) from within SlyEdit (the user settings menu can be brought up using the Ctrl-U hotkey). The implication of this is that the command-line parameter to specify the UI mode is no longer required, and you can have just one entry for SlyEdit in your Synchronet external editor configuration. If you decide to keep the two SlyEdit entries for now, SlyEdit will still work, so you can wait on changing it if you want. After the SlyEdit update is committed to the Synchronet repository, if you decide to change your external editor configuration to just have one SlyEdit entry, you'll likely want to change its internal code (to just "SLYEDIT"). Before you do that, though, I made a JS script that will list users who appear to be using SlyEdit, which you may want to use. You can download it here: http://digdist.synchro.net/usersUsingSlyedit.js Before changing your SlyEdit entries in your Synchronet editor configuration, run that (either on your BBS PC with jsexec or remotely in the terminal) and note down the users it lists. Then after you change your editor configuration to only have one SlyEdit entry, edit the users in the list and ensure they have SlyEdit selected as their message editor. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience, though I think this will make for a cleaner setup (and as mentioned, SlyEdit will continue to work as configured). Also, with this change, users can change their SlyEdit UI mode on the fly from within SlyEdit, which I think could be a handy feature. This is an example configuration for SlyEdit in SCFG's external editors section: Name SlyEdit Internal Code SLYEDIT Command line ?SlyEdit.js %f Access requirements ANSI AND COLS 80 Native Executable No I/O method FOSSIL or UART Use Shell or New Context No Record Terminal Width Yes Word-wrap Quoted Text Yes, for 79 columns Retain Ctrl-A Codes in Quotes Yes Automatically Quoted Text All Editor Information Files QuickBBS MSGINF/MSGTMP Handle Soft CRs N/A Strip FidoNet Kludges No Support UTF-8 Encoding Yes BBS Drop File Type None (And Digital Man, if any of that looks like it could be improved, feel free to let me know) Nightfox --- Synchronet Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
