TkIDE Version 2.6

Christmas is coming...

Disclaimers

• WARNING: TkIDE is a work in progress project. I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer by extensions, or by bugged code.

• Beware!

• TkIDE could be closed at any time

• TkIDE is not an actual IDE. It is a code editor with limited functionality

• TkIDE's raw code only works with Python 3.9 and above (as to my knowledge)

• Tested on 3.10/3.11

Changelog

• 2.6

  • Fixing more issues with extensions.
  • De-legacying (ing?) code, read at origin.md

• 2.2.1

  • Added more commands, read at commands.md

• 2.2

  • File explorer disabled (it didn't work that well)
  • Added support for extensions again baby!!!!!!!!
    • Based on an api, with socket and thread communication in the ide, allowing for multiple extensions, without lag/freezing.
    • This also at the same time prevents misuse of the ide, because only supported commands will work.
    • Currently there are 3 commands. 2 are necessary (init and close connection) and one allows for access of currently opened text.
    • Will expand, tutorial, more commands, documentation etc in next update.
    • NOT TESTED ON EXE VERSION
  • No executable this version.

Important Things

Disclaimer:TkIDE is NOT pure, untouched tkinter. There are custom classes and in the future there may be some other additions

• Non standard library objects used

  • Pillow
  • Custom tkinter based widgets
  • Pygments

Notes/Goals

• Will try to work on load times (not happening lol)

  • Working with pyinstaller not onefile mode and venvs
  • Works, well - up to 2 times faster than the old version

• More features - maybe?

• The tab system is not perfect trash and will probably be improved in the future.

  • If too many tabs are open the close buttons will clump togther and not work. A solution that could be implemented is to have a scrollbar for the tab system and fixing the custom tab system.

• I am working on a system to run python files and output them to a terminal.

  • I might add the terminal as part of the ide, instead of a new window
