Hello everyone.
We do have upgraded our µVision-IDE and MDK to version 4.54. There was no need in updating the µVision-IDE for all of our developers, but we always want to use identical versions of any software to reach best possible communication between coworkers. We now have some problems with the "find in files" tool:
* The results are arranged by the file names where the search string has been found. For every single file they are unfortunately not sorted by the line of their occurence.
* Every tabulator in a source file is replaced with a square symbol in the search results.
These two factors make it very hard to search in bigger projects.
Does anyone have a solution for the problems described?
How can the search results be arranged by file names and then by the line of their occurence?
How can the search results be displayed without squares that replace tabulators?
Thank you for all hints.
Best regards
R. Suess
PS: Why is always the flag of the united states be seen under my name, even if I chose "Germany" as my home country?
Hello again.
1. I have noticed one more error in the results that are displayed by the search tool:
Sometimes the search tool displays
%s
instead of
C:\TestProject\Test.c(123): ExampleFunction(0xFF); // comment
That means, when I search for search string 'ExampleFunction' via 'find in files', the result looks like the following:
C:\TestProject\Test.c(123): ExampleFunction(0xFF); // comment %s C:\TestProject\Test3.c(45): ExampleFunction(0xDD); // comment
Lines matched: 3 Files matched: 3 Total files searched: 81
2. If I open the search tool via keyboard (Strg + Shift + F) it sometimes happens that an additional search window opens. This window looks like an older version of the search tool.
How can anyone work with the actual version of the search tool?
Tomorrow in the morning I will write an error report to Keil support.
Best regards R. Suess
... that Keil will concentrate on what they are good at (which is not editors) and provide a means of including another (REAL) editor in uVision.
anyhow, I am doing my editing outside uVision using CodeWright

Maybe you are satisfied with external editors and their advantages and disadvantages, but...
We pay thousands of euros each year for having a comfortable integrated development environment. We get a standard software developers can work with and through which they can talk.
So why should we use an additional external editor when the editor is a part of the IDE, for which we pay so much money?
Why should we be lucky with workarounds or change the way we work?
I reported the errors to the Keil support team some hours ago. I got the answer that all four issues are known and that they had been transferred to the Development Department of Keil.
We get a standard software developers can work with and through which they can talk. if the same, makes no difference what it is
So why should we use an additional external editor when the editor is a part of the IDE, for which we pay so much money? because you buy Keil for their excellent compiler, not for the miserable editor.
Just so you know IARs editor is miserable too.
At the price, you would certainly hope to get a decent editor, too!
Haven't they recently changed the editor? Isn't it now based on Scintilla, or something...?
And this change of editor seems to be the reason for lots of integration issues to pop up.
Haven't they recently changed the editor? recently?, do you know when?
I'm currently runnong 4.17
mate.
the release notes say this for release 4.50>>>>>
This MDK release comes with µVision V4.50.00 which includes the new Scintilla based editor.
do you believe me? probably not. but what do i care? hey at least i dont just say Please read the manual with no useful information.
No - you are even willing to post directly bad information when you get the chance. And then pretend the info is good when someone points out the problem.
look matey.
its easy to check info. just look at the release notes and you can read it yourself.
its your loss if you dont believe it. not mine. gppm. ENNK. hahahahaha
Well, I already knew they had updated the editor - why should I read the release notes again? To me, it isn't important to know at what specific version - or what specific date - the change was. But the change seems to coincide with lots of bug reports about strange things happening with the IDE.
I'm not affected, because I can't use the newer versions for any daily work. I can download and install, but all products have been certified with older versions which means I stay with them other than if I want to play around.
well, i was answering the question from erik not you!!!!!!!!!! you not needing the answer is probably why **** you **** did not ask the question yourself. no???????????????

I want to remind you, why we buy Keil - I wrote it already :

So please do not tell me for which reasons we buy a product!
You must accept that some people do have another attitude and other expectations towards the products of Keil.
If they provide an IDE, the editor and the search tool have to be in a working order!
Please remember the meaning of the term 'IDE': en.wikipedia.org/.../Integrated_development_environment de.wikipedia.org/.../Integrierte_Entwicklungsumgebung

Participating in a forum is not like chatting with only one member. If you post a statement in a thread everyone has the right (and therefor the possibility) to post a comment.
