Project Management
The project is a way to help the user to group all related folders under a single
entity. The project tree underlines the files that are already open. The filter
option can exclude the user input extensions, like the .class files in a java
project. Whenever there are files added or removed from a project from outside the
editor, the refresh button will instantlly regenerate the project tree. WebTide can
create two kind of projects: normal projects and HTML projects. You need to create
HTML projects if you want to use the FTP uploader feature. The difference between
these two types of projects is that in a normal project you can add as many files
and as many folders as you want, but in the HTML project you can set only one
folder, the web root, since it actually emulates the structure of a website.
FTP uploader
The FTP uploader will help you upload the files contained in a HTML project on a
FTP server. You only need to select which files you want uploaded, and WebTide will
remember these files the next time you will use the FTP uploader. Do not forget to
create at least one FTP profile before you use this feature.
Tasks
The tasks view will help you better organize your time. Just stick your ideas to a
position within a file and you can quickly access it later. You have 5 types of
tasks available to suite your needs. Double clicking on a task will instantly open
the file that the task was attached to, at the line the task was attached.
Templates
The templates are pieces of code used often. The editor saves the in your user
home, and by using the "Copy to clipboard" feature, you can access them instantlly.
Outline
Problems
For the html and xml files, the problem window will show syntax problems, unclosed
tags, missing attributes and many other. The problem list items can be sorted by
two criterias: the line they have occured in the file or the priority. The errors
have a higher priority than the warnings.
Search
The search tools are unlike anything you have seen before. These tools are one of
WebTide's strong points. The search window will show you multiple search results,
and keep the search results in a history like tree. The find in path tool will show
you the exact folder structure, for the folder you search in, and will show the
occurences as children of the files they were found in. The find in path dialog
will allow you to filter out unwanted files by extension.
Bookmarks
Editor
Automatic file reload
WebTide automatically detects the files modified outside the editor, and will ask
you if you wish to reload the file that has been modified.
Custom extensions
WebTide allows the user to define custom extensions. For example, if you have an
XML file that does not have a conventional extension, just go to the preferences
dialog and add that extension in the "XML Files" edit box. After doing this, your
files with the specified extension will be treated as XML files by WebTide,
including error checking and syntax highlighting.
File encoding
WebTide allows you to choose the encoding you want to open and save files. This is
a useful feature for developers that need to work crossplatform. For example, if
you have a Java resource file that is UTF-8 encoded and you edit it with a text
editor that is encoding unaware, your file will be saved with the encoding of the
specific platform that you are running. WebTide avoids this kind of undesired
events, by letting you choose.
Line separator
The line separator character falls into the same category as the "File Encoding".
For example, a file saved under Linux will have as line separator the \n char,
which under Windows is unreadable. WebTide lets you choose the line separator
desired.
Automatic indent
WebTide allows the user to specify if he want to automatically indent the current
line as the previous line when hitting <Enter>.
Antialias
For platforms that do not support too many visible java fonts, WebTide offers the
posibility of using antialiased text on all visual components.
Tab position
From the application preferences you can choose if the editor tabs will be placed
on top or the bottom of the editor.
