fish://
by Ian on Monday 21/Apr/2003, @21:15

A large reason I use quanta is because the KDE open dialog has support for SCP with the fish:// protocol. It means you can work with the files of any computer with SCP as if they were on your machine. I've always thought that KDE's Open/Save dialog box was one of KDE strongest points, it is definitedly one of those little things that can make a big difference. I really wish GTK would come up with a better one, as there some GTK programs that I still use.

The other nifty thing about quanta is the code completion for PHP. I wish I had that when I was doing Ada development (its what we learn in our introductory Computer Science courses.) Features like that, where you don't have to figure out some dialog box or use a wizard but our integrated into the editor itself are often the most valuable.

Gtk 2.4 will finally have a new Open/Save dialog (with everything that should be in a modern O/S dialog).

Humm... I think it does...
There is no word about scp in their homepage (http://ich.bin.kein.hoschi.de/fish/), but
at apps.kde.com they say it does support scp...

I seem to remember that it is SSH/SCP too. I'm not sure how you would transfer the files with SSH alone.

I think programs that just use SSH basically connect then do a cat on a file, ie simple shell manipulation.

Keep up the good work. Quanta looks like the best bet for a GUI web designer :)

Fish installs a perl script on the host which implements a simple protocol for file operations. No scp involved.

Yes, if you want scp, you can use sftp:// (AFAIK) instead, works very well

PHP Code completion
by McTrex on Tuesday 22/Apr/2003, @06:33

I must be missing something, but in my version of Quanta I can't use PHP code completion. I'm using Quanta Plus 3.1. Maybe someone can tell me where to find it?

Thanx in advance,
McTrex

Well, it definetely should be there. Try the following(s):
<?
a<--press CTRL-SPACE

$(if you have other variables, they should pop up)

abs(<--press CTRL-SPACE

?>

and similar combinations.
