some advices (8) #40

Closed qjebbs closed 8 years ago

qjebbs commented 8 years ago

Hey, this is jebbs. I modified a version of my own, which makes improvements as below. Since I am a starter in python, I won't commit my code, but hope you will adopt some of them if you think it will make the plug-in better. Thank you.

alt m for preview, shift alt m for final output

  • In preview mode, select multiple lines to preview the selected area; select one line or select none to preview current diagram. (Auto selection of current diagram block)
  • Add diagram title (if exists) or number index (if multiple diagrams file) as suffix to file name.
  • Add ctrl r jump list support for wsd file, ensure to put "title titletext" in your diagram. It's useful when you have multiple diagrams in one file.
  • No more random file name for final output files.
  • Updated "plantuml.jar" file.
  • Brief console messages

Thank you for your enthusiasm. I might be able to make more specific improvements. In general, though, I haven't seen a lot of demand for the above features.

Most critically, this plugin isn't intended to generate final output; just a preview for use when editing. For final output, it's best to integrate PlantUML into your build system. That makes the differing modes, tight generation of filenames, and file-type selection unlikely to be implemented.

For the title handling, do you have code to parse these out of the file? That would help, because I don't know how to extract them without parsing the bodies.

Could you elaborate on what "ctrl-r" jump list support is? I'm not familiar with this.

Also, with respect to the console messages, which ones would you remove?

To be honest, I am not a programmer, I use plantuml to accelerate my activity diagram job, so maybe many of the advices is only suitable for my situation.^_^

about the title, I assuming the title is in one line: "title 123"... "ctrl-r" is something like this, useful when i have multiple diagrams in one file qq 20160129164053

I removed some of the startup check messages, so when sublime started, the console is tidy, but i keep the generating messages

Could you push your features on a different repo ? I would love to have a nice output(with the same title) to embed .png in my latex file.
