What are these file types - .scd .cache .tdx init

I suggest updating
http://www.ultimatepp.org/app$ide$Files$en-us.html
with these, and also the meaning of the root installation files

theide.cgf
.bm
.var
/cfg (folder).

What is the procedure for updating a web page like the above - how do you actually do it?

What is the situation with the upp "book" that was mentioned a while ago?

Hi gprentice

The meaning of the files is following:

init - used by BLITZ to properly include icpp files before the rest of the code
scd - older format for spelling dictionaries, superseded by udc but still supported
cache - cached data from Assist++ parser
pkg_cache - cached content of package files (upp) in single assembly
tdx - preparsed tpp files for fast searching
theide.cfg - serialized configuration of Setup->Environment dialog
bm - build method configuration
var - assembly configuration
theide/cfg folder - cache files from theide (tdx,cache,pkg_cache) + cfg (per package settings - opened files, cursor positions etc.)

If you think this info is worthed to be mentioned in the docs, go ahead and add it Wink

To update the webpages, you just have to change the tpp documentation located in uppbox/uppweb package (located in svn, it doesn't come with releases) or in the relevant package (ide, in this case). If you have the commit right for SVN, you can upload the changes and the webpage will change next day. Some relevant explanation is here. If you don't have the rights, just post the tpp files on the forum.

AFAIK the upp book is slowly advancing. You can check its state easily, as it is located in bazaar. Just compile and run the bazaar/UltimateBook package.

Best regards,
Honza

Thanks! I have access to svn. I guess google/svn is a secondary repository for U++? Can source code changes be committed or just .tpp files?

Yes, googlecode is just a mirror, it is not possible to commit changes directly in there.

To clarify: By "svn commit rights" I meant access to the head server, which is accessible on IP adress that Mirek gives you together with your name and password.

Anyone with the rights to access the head server can change any documentation (neat rule to encourage people to document things Wink

). Your ability to change the source code depends on what rights Mirek grants you, usually it is restricted to certain directories.

Hello Honza

Excellent explanation Smile

. Almost nothing to add...

Just to say gprentice that, for many web pages you can just take the QTF code of the page (by clicking the "T++" link in the page bottom right side), and editing it using Assist/QTF designer, or using examples/UWord package. The official way to editing them is by opening uppweb package.

However for pages under "ide" (I do not know why), the .tpp files are compressed, so you should have to open "ide" package and select the file to edit.

For both cases take the resulting .tpp file and post to in the Forum. Somebody will submit it to web.

If you do this some times (not only once in your life Smile

), I suppose you will get rights to submit the changes directly to svn.

Best regards
Iñaki

Thanks for the information. Mirek gave me a URL to the primary server a year ago but I didn't know where it went to until now. I updated the file and committed the .tpp and .tppi files using tortoise svn. Maybe you could check if I got something wrong some time. Tortoise said the files committed ok but for some reason it's left the icon for the files showing as "modified". Should I be able to commit these files directly from theIde?

Chances are I'll want to commit other documentation stuff sometime. Does that mean I should use the primary server and forget about google code?

Is upp able to do any conversion from other document formats into .tpp format?

Yes, in Project/SVN menu you can upload changes to svn.

Oh yes, Honza explained it before. Google code is just a mirror.

I do not think so.

Graeme: The simplest way is just taking the latest files from SVN, although google mirror could be enough, improve them or add new .tpp files, and post them here. No SVN knowledge required Smile

Good work, Graeme Thumbs Up

It looks ok, at least I didn't see any mistakes. You will see the changes on the web tomorrow morning. To get rid of the modified status (in most svn clients) you have to update after committing. And one little thing for next time: Please try to make the log message look like "packagename: What changed" or ".packagename: Something not very important changed". It makes the logs easier to read, thanks.

Oh yes, Honza explained it before. Google code is just a mirror.

I was just trying to be considerate of traffic on the primary server.

Na... I prefer committing directly and I have all the svn knowledge I need (which isn't much).

ok, I'm not used to having to update after committing. Regarding the package name - sure I'll do that. What does a leading * mean?

Leading * is mark bugfixes. Sometimes there is also leading +, which is used to mark addition of a new feature.

This look like there is some problem with the arguments passed to the compiler, which is rather strange if it works for the rest of your packages. Could you post the verbose output (Setup > Be verbose), please? I don't use windows, so I can't test it directly...
