Jedit Markers - Storing Marker in jEdit settings folder as opposed to locally
Submitted by thamiral on Friday, 6 April, 2007 - 04:03
Hello all,

I use jEdit quite a bit and one of the features that I always use is the Marker feature, which allows me to get back to certain locations after having switched to another buffer.

Unfortunately jEdit markers create a temporary MARKS file locally for each file that has been "marked". This starts getting confusing, especially if there are many files in a directory.

I think it would be great to have jEdit, store this kind of information in a central location (such as the jEdit Settings Folder). As a matter of fact, jEdit already stores information about individual files, such as last line, in the jEdit settings Folder.

I'm curious to know what everyone thinks of this idea!

Sincerely,

Taha

I don't see why not

Sounds like a good idea to me, especially since jEdit memorizes the last line you were working on.

hey, I noticed an option in the global settings in jEdit 4.3pre9.

Utilities->Global Options...
to the left of this window select "General"
you should see a checkbox that says "Save Marker Positions"

I could be wrong but doesn't this option do what you want it to do?

Hello Alex,

All that option does is allow for Marker positions to be stored for when the file is reopened.

This results in a .MARKS file in the same directory as files with "markers", which after some time, gets confusing.

I would be a nice idea to have them stored centrally in a config file / database in the .jedit folder.

Sincerely,

Taha
