General Information
|
||
|
|
===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is version 2.30.4 of gedit. gedit is a small and lightweight UTF-8 text
|
||
|
|
editor for the MATE environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gedit is part of MATE and uses the latest GTK+ and MATE libraries.
|
||
|
|
Complete MATE integration is featured, with support for Drag and Drop (DnD)
|
||
|
|
from Caja (the MATE file manager), the use of the MATE help system,
|
||
|
|
the MATE Virtual File System and the MATE print framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gedit uses a Multiple Document Interface (MDI), which lets you edit more than
|
||
|
|
one document at the same time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gedit supports most standard editing features, plus several not found in your
|
||
|
|
average text editor (plugins being the most notable of these).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gedit plugins may also be written in the python scripting language: to enable
|
||
|
|
python support you need the pygtk and mate-python-desktop bindings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

How to report bugs
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bugs should be reported to the MATE bug tracking system.
|
||
|
|
(http://bugzilla.mate.org, product gedit). You will need to create an
|
||
|
|
account for yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also report bugs using the MATE program bug-buddy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the bug report please include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Information about your system. For instance:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- What operating system and version
|
||
|
|
- What version of X
|
||
|
|
- What version of the gtk+, glib and mate libraries
|
||
|
|
- For Linux, what version of the C library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And anything else you think is relevant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* How to reproduce the bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the
|
||
|
|
crash occurred.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not
|
||
|
|
necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error is an X error,
|
||
|
|
it will be more useful if the stack trace is produced running the test
|
||
|
|
program with the --sync command line option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the file 'BUGS' for the list of known bugs.

|
|
fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment to that bug
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch, and attach

||
