How to do "File in" in Pharo 6.1? - pharo

Wanting to migrate my small project from Pharo 5 to Pharo 6.1, and I happily found the File Out option when I right-clicked on my package and its classes. I saw it generates text files for those artifacts in my image directory (I'm running on Windows). So far, so good.
However, I looked everywhere for a menu to import these files back into Pharo 6.1 (right-clicked on the package list, etc.) to no avail. How does one do a File In (the opposite of File Out)?

World menu > Tools > File Browser > (locate your changes file) + right-click > Changelist browser

The easiest way to file code in, is to just drag and drop the file onto the Pharo window. A dialog appears to ask you how you want to proceed.

old file name stuck at the top of sublimetext

Very strange issue here, it's not causing problems but is aesthetically annoying. I had the kindle plugged into my windows machine as to edit the kindle's files. One of the kindle file names is now listed after the name of the python program I'm working on in sublime text. To paint a picture, above the menu drop downs in sublime text, there is the path to the document (IE python program) I'm working on, followed by the random file from the kindle.
The kindle file is no longer on my computer and never had anything to do with sublime text. I've tried restarting the computer and reinstalling sublime text, neither worked. Any ideas what might be going on??? Thanks!
The sublime text window caption shows you the name of the currently open file, followed by the name of the current project in parentheses (if you have a project open at all), followed by the name of the program.
Based on the screenshot in your image:
You currently have the file softmax.py open and it is stored in a folder on your desktop named machine learning\python programs\test\newyorktest\
The name of the Sublime project file is Casting the Circle_A Woman's Book of Ritual_B009FKTQD8_sample.sdr.sublime-project (the caption doesn't show the sublime-project part because that's redundant).
I would imagine that when you set up the project you accidentally chose that name as the name of the project file.
In order to fix your problem, select Project > Save Project As... from the menu and enter a different name for it. The location that you save the file in doesn't matter (it can be inside the folder of your project or in some other location), all that is important is that it has the extension .sublime-project.
Once you pick the new name, Sublime will immediately swap to using the new project file instead of the old one, which will keep your current set of open files, etc, and the caption will change.
You can then seek out and delete the other project file if you want.

Is there a way to use Sublime to show file previews in Windows Explorer for certain files?

I'd like to be able to preview all plain-text files in the Windows File Explorer Preview Pane. To illustrate, here's what sublime files currently look like:
As you can see, Context.sublime-menu is highlighted, but a preview doesn't appear. They're just plain-text files though - you can open them in Notepad. Is there a way to tell windows "Use notepad (or sublime) to view this type of file the preview pane"?
Thanks to #KeithHall's link - while it didn't work for me - got me started on a pretty long path to finally figuring this out. And finding a better solution than I thought existed.
In short, simply install the Delphi Preview Handler. Which pretty much gives you an IDE in the preview pane. It's pretty simple to use and just awesome.
After installation, if you click on a .js file in Windows File Explorer you can immediately see a different preview pane.
Registering Other Extensions
The Preview Handler doesn't compensate for all plain-text files unfortunately, so you're gonna have to manually add the sublime extensions and any other extensions in the Registry Editor.
Here's the bird's-eye view of this process:
Find the key/value that instructs Windows to use Delphi as the preview handler for .js files.
Copy the key/value
Apply that to each extension you want to preview.
Here's more in-depth instructions:
First, you need to find the ID of the Preview Handler, and its Default Value
win + rregedit > expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Find .js and expand it.
.js should have a subkey named shellex, expand that
You need to recreate this shellex key for each extension you want to add, so copy its contents:
shellex should have a sub-key named with a bunch of numbers, letters, and dashes, this is the ID of the preview pane (I think)
Right-Click that > Rename > Copy > Cancel
Open Sublime > Create a new file > Paste
Go back to the Registry Editor, Click that ID subkey, and a String value called (Default) should appear in the right side of the window.
Double-Click that
Copy > Cancel > Paste in sublime. This is the ID of the Preview Handler (I think).
At this point there should be 2 IDs in the sublime file.
Now You're ready to add these same values to other extensions.
Find the extension(s) you want to change. For me it was all the sublime file-types.
Right-click > New > Key > call it shellex
Go to sublime, copy the first value
Right-click shellex > New > Key > Paste
Go to sublime, copy the second value
Click the new key and make it's default value that 2nd id.
So it should look similar to this:
v .sublime-commands
| v shellex
| |- {823BD1D4-...
And in the right side of the window:
Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ {AD9955...

This Answer by #rxantos pointed me in the direction of the Delphi Preview Handler.
I spent about an hour looking for this app but never found it.
This Answer by #tvj247 is perhaps a more simple solution, but my HKey structure didn't match his (I'm using Windows 10).
And as for fiddling with the Registry, that was trial, error, and comparing sublime extension keys to js, html and css.

How to add gvim icon to openwith menu

I have installed gvim in windows 7. When I right click on a file, I get list of editor to be opened with. I see a icon for notepad++, 7zip and beyond compare, but not for vim. it is tough to search "Edit with Vim" in the big list. Is it possible to add icon to "Edit with Vim". I tried setting ICON in registry to gvim.exe path, but that didn't work
I am currently having a crack at coding this up "for real" (but no success yet).
In the meantime, here's what I did on my machine as a sort of workaround:
Create a new text file and call it (for example) vim.reg
and paste this into the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Vim]
"Icon"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Vim\\vim74\\gvim.exe\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Edit with Vim\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Vim\\vim74\\gvim.exe\" \"%1\""
and then right-click on the file and select Merge.
Or just manually add those keys directly in RegEdit if you're comfortable with that.
You may need to restart Explorer.exe (eg. log out and back in) for it to take effect.
This will add a new "Edit with vim" entry, with the icon, to the context menu for every filetype.
If you want it only for text files, for example, then change the two occurrences of "*" in the file to "txtfile".
The other vim context menu entries (eg. open with existing vim session) will not be affected - they will still not have icons.
UPDATE:
From the bug report that Christian mentioned, it looks like someone else has now implemented this, in version 7.4.724.
Vim.org reports that the currently release is 7.4.729, so it should include that.
The only trouble is that the Windows binaries available for download from the site are from 2013.
But vim.org also suggests a way to get the latest version, precompiled for Windows:
For the latest version with all patches included see Cream below.
These versions are unofficial, but the download number is high and
complaints are few.
And
For an unofficial version that does include all the latest patches and
optionally a bit more: Cream.
The "one-click installer" mentioned includes the Cream changes.
For the "real Vim" use the "without Cream" version listed further down.
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. There is a whishlist bug that requests this feature, but no one has contributed code yet.

"Registering" GVim in Windows XP

This is probably bordering off-topic-ness here, but not a lot of people on SuperUser use GVim, as opposed to here, so I'm leaving it here.
The problem is simple - I'm using GVim 7.3. from vim.org, downloaded it in the form of archived binaries (the two archive files) like always and replaced the older version. However, I can't get Windows to recognize it and to associate a file extension to it.
From windows explorer go to, let's say, .py file, Open with ... / Browse / gvim.exe in its directory and ... nothing. Like it never happened.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this behaviour? It's mighty annoying to have to open every file from within Vim manually.
I think the default installer ("self-installing executable") from vim.org lets you register shell associations; this means you get an entry "open with vim" in every context menu from the explorer. Did you not use this file?
I'm looking at this page and I'm thinking about this download.
This doesn't answer your question, but it's a different way to edit with gvim from the context menu.
Create a .reg file with the contents below (adjusting your path to gvim.exe) and execute it. Then whenever you right-click on a file in explorer you will have an "Open with GVIM" option.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell]
#="Open with GVIM"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Open with &GVim]
#="Open with GVIM"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Open with &GVim\command]
#="C:\\Vim\\gvim.exe \"%1\""
I gave up trying all kinds of tricks through the registry, but this solution works for me just fine. I might add, I'm having the same issue on Windows 7. Since Windows seems to be able to do the association with vim.exe just fine, and this is apparently tied to the file name, I moved vim.exe off as say vim.ex$ and made a copy of gvim.exe to vim.exe. Cheap and easy way around this goofy problem, and I can't say I ever use vim.exe on purpose.

Where does notepad++ store style configurator settings?

I downloaded and modified a style file and placed it in the Notepad++ themes folder. I was able to select it and have it update the style as expected. I then went to Settings -> Style Configurator and changed the font of COMMENT of language VHDL to MS Gothic, hit save, and closed and exited Notepad++. I am able to relaunch Notepad++ and still see the change (I'm running Notepad++ in admin mode on Win7).
The only file that I can see a new timestamp on is my XML theme file, but I don't see MS Gothic anywhere in the file. Where is this information being stored? It is overriding the settings from my theme file. I also checked %APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml but I don't see it there either.
I realize I can change it back through the GUI, but I'd like to know how to get back to my original theme without selecting every style in the language manually (as I've made multiple changes). If I could edit (or delete) a file, I would prefer it.
Look in your %APPDATA%\Notepad++ folder, specifically for the stylers.xml file.
Uninstall Notepad++
Reinstall it again, but this time check the first box, the one that says "Don't use %APPDATA%..... "
Enjoy.
The reason is that Notepad++ install all the files at administrator profile, if you are using another user then you are screw, it will not work properly, you have to run it always as an administrator so it can work properly. To avoid this, just do as i said.
If files are going to APPDATA, then you can create a folder called "themes" and then inside that place your new xml themes. Then close and reopen notepad++ and you should see your new style in the "Select theme:" drop down. Whatever you named the file should be what appears in the dropdown
If you are on Windows 10 the path to add the new theme is :
C:\Users\NAME-OF-COMPUTER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes
stylers.xml is located one director/ folder above the themes :
Just as a complement to the other answers, if you made the changes on another theme than the default theme (stylers.xml) then your changes are saved to
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\TheThemeYouModified.xml.
For example, if you modified the choco theme, then look for the %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\choco.xml.
You will also find a choco.xml in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes but this one is not where your changes are saved.
I tried Rbastardo answer, but even when I check "Don't use %APPDATA%....." when installing Notepad++, the changes are still saved in %APPDATA%.
In case this helps someone in the future, if you installed Notepad++ via Scoop then look for your themes directory here:
D:\Users\yourusername\scoop\persist\notepadplusplus\themes
