Online Repository
On-line repository allows you to use on-line resources, available on HippoEDIT web site for download, in HippoEDIT UI.
Online Repository (can be enabled in Tools→Options→General→Online) simplifies installation of extensions and syntaxes, color palettes etc from on-line library and helps you to always be up to date with latest functionality available for HippoEDIT.
If enabled (you need to reopen settings to see changes), you will be able to install new extensions, syntaxes etc from withing same interface as before: on-line resources seamlessly integrated into UI (grayed out) and when selected will prompt you to agree on download and installing of new feature.
In addition to that editor now tracks files you are opening and will suggest you suitable syntax schema from on-line repository for files, which are not recognized based on locally installed syntax schema's (based on file extension).
Features
- Possibility to see directly in the HippoEDIT Syntax Settings options page, list of the syntax schemes available in online repository (in addition to already installed). The online syntaxes can be downloaded and installed the same way as you activate pre-installed syntax.
- If you open a file with unknown extension or syntax, HippoEDIT checks on server for suitable schema and may suggest you suitable schema available online.
- Online lists of plugins, color schemes, file templates and keyboard schemes are also exposed.
- You can also manage all available and inserted extensions with help of new Update Manager.
