I want to determine the path to last used project (or project selected in ProjectViewer pane) to add a new file to this project.

When I create a new file, or open non project file, this code always returns null:


import projectviewer.ProjectViewer;
import projectviewer.vpt.VPTProject;

VPTProject prj=ProjectViewer.getActiveProject(view);
ProjectViewer pv=ProjectViewer.getViewer(view);
Macros.message(view, "Current project is: " + pv);


So I am unable to do what I want - save the file automatically to project path (attach the file to the project).
I tried to retrieve VPTNode, but it also returns null.

I suppose the best way would be to add this feature to ProjectViewer plugin, because now we need to browse all directories to add new files to the projects.

I've had this problem too. Double check to make sure you actually have a project selected in the ProjectViewer.

Sometimes jEdit starts up and the project viewer doesn't have a project selected.

Thanks.
Finally, here is my macro to save current buffer to current project directory:


import projectviewer.ProjectViewer;
import projectviewer.vpt.VPTProject;
import projectviewer.vpt.VPTNode;

void saveFile(String path) {
String name = Macros.input(view, "Filename (without path)", buffer.getName());
if (name == "Untitled-1" || name == "Untitled-2") {
name = "index.php";
}
path = path + System.getProperty("file.separator") + name;
buffer.save(view, path);
}

void newProjectFile() {
VPTProject prj=ProjectViewer.getActiveProject(view);
ProjectViewer pv=ProjectViewer.getViewer(view);
if (pv == null) {
Macros.error(view, "Please select project in ProjectViewer.");
return;
}
VPTNode node = pv.getSelectedNode();
if (node == null) {
node = pv.getRoot();
}
if (node.isProject() || node.isProject()) {
String path = node.getNodePath();
saveFile(path);
} else if (node.isFile()) {
String path = new File(node.getNodePath()).getParent();
saveFile(path);
} else {
Macros.error(view, "Please select project, directory or file.");
}
}

newProjectFile();



But now, I do not know (yet), how to make ProjectViewer automatically import this file
Any hints?

I actually did something different. I wanted to "Add file to a project" without creating a new buffer manually first. So I've made the following macro:

_____________________________________________

import projectviewer.ProjectViewer;
import projectviewer.vpt.VPTProject;
import projectviewer.vpt.VPTNode;

void CreateFile(String path, Buffer buff) {
String name = Macros.input(view, "Filename (without path)", buffer.getName());
if (name == "Untitled-1" || name == "Untitled-2") {
name = "index.php";
}
path = path + System.getProperty("file.separator") + name;

buff.save(view, path);
}

void newProjectFile() {
jEdit.newFile(view);
Buffer buff = buffer.getNext();
VPTProject prj=ProjectViewer.getActiveProject(view);
ProjectViewer pv=ProjectViewer.getViewer(view);
if (pv == null) {
Macros.error(view, "Please select project in ProjectViewer.");
return;
}
VPTNode node = pv.getSelectedNode();
if (node == null) {
node = pv.getRoot();
}
if (node.isDirectory() || node.isProject()) {
String path = node.getNodePath();
CreateFile(path, buff);
} else if (node.isFile()) {
String path = new File(node.getNodePath()).getParent();
CreateFile(path, buff);
} else {
Macros.error(view, "Please select project, directory or file.");
}
}

newProjectFile();
______________________________________



Then, I went to ProjectViewer plugin options, and added this macro to context menu.

Now, if I select any directory/file/root in a ProjectViewer, click right mouse button and select newProjectFile, I get nice dialog asking for file name, and then new buffer opens with this name and it also gets automatically added to the project in correct location (for example, if directory was selected, it will be added in that directory).
