Editing (Context)
Editing (Context)This document explains how to work with the Context-View.
Switch to the "Context"-view and select files you want to edit. You can choose an editor, which supports the file-type from the panel on the right side or from popupmenu. If you select a directory an editor will open a empty file in this directory.
You can disable the file-type-detection. Open the settings-menu on the top-right border of the Context-panel and switch off 'check for supported extensions'.
The 'Context-Home'-button switch always to the project context-directory.
Since Hawron 0.3 all Apache Commons-VFS file-systems are supported by the Context-View. Look at the VFS-File-system site to get an overview. You can use the Location-text-field to try any supported uri (ex: sftp://username:password@www.my-ssh.site).
The username and password will be removed then, but on errors the full uri with username and password could be logged. So you have to be carefully with log-files (jre.log in Hawrons-dist-directory, if you have enabled jre.logging=true in dist/conf/main.conf).
You can import files by drag'n'drop from your favorite file-manager (KDE-based file-managers does not work) to the target-directory inside the Context-view. You can also use the System-Clipboard and open the popupmenu inside the Context-view and choose 'Paste Files'.
Bookmarks are for faster navigate through the directories. Simple drag'n'drop a directory to the Bookmark list. A dialog pops up and you can set a name for the bookmark. You can activate the bookmark by double-click on the desired bookmark. Bookmarks are stored inside the context-path in a directory called "hawron". You can change the location for this directory by setting a config-directory inside the ProjectSettings dialog.
On the left panel you will find a search-field, which call the included lucene search-engine to search for the pattern in the whole context directory. On the first start, lucene will index the context-directory, this will take some minutes. Later if "auto-index" is switched on, it will only add newer files to the search-index("off" will update nothing).
If the search was successful a result-table will be visible. You can use the Viewer and Editors here to select the documents you want to work on.
You can use the known search hints like '+', '-'.
You can check the results of an offline-processing by choosing your task from the 'Build-Directories'. The Context-view will now show the content of your destination-directory.
Select your publishing target from the 'Publishing Target' drop-down-list and enter your password if it needed. You can view and edit your remote location in the same way like the local context-file-system. The Text-Editor, Image-Viewer and most actions supports the working on remote-filesystems.
The remote file-system may reacts slower then a local-file-system. This depends on your network-connection.
