Title: Ri'than Lian Update
Post by: SS on May 26, 2003, 08:54:55 PM
Okay, for those of you that don't know, Ri'than Lian is a specialised text editor. It's specialisation is IRC/RPG logs, in particular, searching and replacing within them, the intent being to transform into a nicely readable version.
I'm just letting people know that the text-editor side of things is done.
Current features include:
File: New/Open/Save/SaveAs
Edit: Undo/Cut/Copy/Paste/Clear/SelectAll/SelectNone/SelectClear
Format: Bold/Italic/Underline/Strikeout/Fonts/Sizes/Colours [Individual and Complete selection]

And a few minor selections like asking you to save before opening a file, a lovely little About screen, proper Windows interface, including properly togglable, movable, resizable, dockable toolbars etc. (yay)

Features yet to do include:
Options [Edit default paths/settings/etc]
Functions [The actual important search & replace bit of things]
Help Topics [A simple context-sensitive help system]


Once I have got at least the next two of these bits done, I will upload it and post the URL here, so y'all can tell me how wonderful it is. :D

I make up words, and sometimes languages on a daily basis, so naming things like that is very helpful to me. I draw on things I know, subconsiously change them into something that is not used before, and spit it out for use. :P I've been making up mumbo-jumbo languages since I was about 7, and didn't read WoT and LoTR.  :D

I'm sorry to say that the only progress I've made since that post is to create the menu for deciding how to search (case sensitive yes/no, find at start/end/anywhere in line, etc) nothing much else. :(
I have just marked on my calendar Wednesday evening for working on Ri'than Lian... assuming I do get to work on it then I should get something which is somewhere near usable. I doubt four hours is enough to finish it, though tis not impossible. :)

*Puts his Necromancy boots on*

Can I get a finished version of Ri'than? Twould be useful for editing a few things... :).

Heh. I'd completely forgotten about this.

Um, I'll go have a look at how far I'd managed to get with it.


edit: Hmmm, the previous post is relatively accurate - four to six hours of work and I can probably get something nice. After I've finished my pizza I can give it half an hours worth of work, and tomorrow morning I can add another couple of hours. A couple more in the evening and I'll see where I'm at, and probably upload whatever stage I've reached.
