OpenIt plugin does not seem to work
Submitted by rovf on Thursday, 11 February, 2010 - 12:03
I see this problem with jEdit 4.3 pre16 on Windows and 4.3.1 on Linux:

When I invoke the OpenIt plugin, I get the entry field for the file name, but as I type, I do not get a list of files matching the name to be selected; and even if I did the full, absolut path to the file manually, and hit enter, nothing happens (and the OpenIt window stays open).

Furthermore, there seems to be no way to close the OpenIt window, nor to move it away.

Could it be that Your search path contains many many files? Then OpenIt would be very busy and that's why doesn't respond. Open "Utilities -> Troubleshooting -> I/O Tread Monitor" before invoking OpenIt dialog and watch the I/O threads...

If this doesn't help You could try to delete (or rename) Your jEdit settings directory...

I think I have misunderstood the way Openit is supposed to work. I thought that when I am starting to type an *absolute* path, I will always see the number of possible completions, so I didn't bother to set up a search path at all.

Now after adding directories to the search path, the completions are shown (and of course I now don't type a path anymore, only the file name).

Refresh the index.

I've seen this issue as well. It seems to fix itself if I open the OpenIt options and simply click "apply".

I think there may be a bug with the plugin's loading - not indexing on load.
