If you have other issues, let me know. Werner, also the=20 description about how to set up Gubed could be included here. It would=20 be nice to have all this information available from a central place=20 (kdewebdev.org). I didn't even run a spellcheck on it, so don't laugh at the style and=20 wording. It's only a base for the FAQ.

What is the difference between Quanta Plus and Quanta Gold? A: Quanta Gold is a commercial product developed at the Kompany by the orig= inal authors of the Quanta Plus. They abandoned the GPL'd version of Quanta Plus before the 2.0 release appeared. Since the= n the GPL'd Quanta Plus is developed by a new team, only the project leader is the same. The real answer for the question is: t= hey are completely different products, so the difference is huge. Q: What is the lates Quanta Plus? A: The latest stable version is 3.4.0.=20 Q: What is the deal with Quanta BE? A: From time to time, if the KDE release schedule and the code base permits= , we release snapshots of the current development version. We call this Bleeding Edge releases. You can imagine them as a pre= view version, so it's not so well tested as a=20 stable release, and the functionality present in it might change, but we ar= e taking care to release only a version which is usable. Q: Which one is newer, Quanta BE 3.3-X or Quanta 3.3.0? A: As the BE can be called a preview of the next version, the version numbe= r indicates the stable version that will follow the BE release. In the above example Quanta 3.3.0 is the stable release and Quanta BE 3.3-X= was the preview of the release. So the 3.3.0 is newer. Here is the history of the stable and BE releases since version 3.0, from o= ldest to newest: 3.0 3.1 3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3 3.1.4 3.2 BE-1 3.2.0 3.2.1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.3 BE-2 3.3.0 3.3.1 3.3.2 3.4.0 Q: Can I have two version of Quanta at the same time? A: Yes, you can. If you want to run a BE version, but still keep your old (= stable) version, follow the below instructions. Remember, this is possible = only if you compile the second version of Quanta from source. Quanta BE can be i= nstalled also into the same directory as the stable Quanta, as it uses a di= fferent executable name (quanta_be) and different data directories, but the= other kdewebdev applications are not, and they will upgrade your current version. Installing two version is a matter of using a different prefix for the new= version and setting some environment variables. Before running the new one= installed outside of the KDE tree, you should do: export KDEDIRS=3D$prefix-of-second-instace:$KDEDIRS export PATH=3D$prefix-of-second-instace/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D$prefix-of-second-instace/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export KDEHOME=3Dhome-for-second-version and run "quanta". An example would be: =2E/configure --prefix=3D/opt/new-quanta make make install mkdir ~/.new-quanta export KDEDIRS=3D/opt/new-quanta:$KDEDIRS export PATH=3D/opt/new-quanta/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D/opt/new-quanta/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export KDEHOME=3D~/.new-quanta quanta You can put the lines starting with the first "export" into a separate file, call it "new-quanta", make it executable, put it in your PATH and when you run "new-quanta" the version installed into /opt/new-quanta will be run. Q: What's is the difference between kdewebdev and quanta? A: Since the KDE 3.3.0 release a new module was created, called KDEWebDev (= KDE Web Development) instead of the old quanta module, because there appeared many other applications useful for web development which can= be used also as stand alone application, not just inside Quanta. Some of those applications were also included before in the quanta module, = but that was not too logical. So kdewebdev is more than Quanta, it's a collection of applications, including Quanta. Q: What is the KDE version Quanta relies on? A: Quanta Plus usually require the latest or the second latest stable versi= on of KDE. Quanta 3.4.0 will run on KDE 3.4.0 or KDE 3.3.x, Quanta 3.3.0 wi= ll run on KDE 3.3.0 or KDE 3.2.x. The newest KDE version is always recomme= nded, as some things might miss in Quanta or will not work as expected if you use an older KDE version. This is especially true for the VPL mode, = which heavily relies on the KHTML browser engine. The situation is a little bit different when we talk about major releases, = as Quanta Plus 3.0 will not run on KDE 2, and Quanta Plus 4.0 will not work with any KDE 3.x releases either. Q: How can I restore the layout of the toolview and editor widgets in Quant= a? A: Due to some bugs in the underlying libraries, it may happen that you und= ock the toolviews and the editor, but you cannot dock back. There are sever= al solutions and I will give you the general one, and how you can do it in Qua= nta 3.3/3.4: a) The general solution is to quit Quanta, locate the local quantarc file i= n you home folder and remove the complete [dock_settings_default] part. After you did it, restart Quanta. b) In 3.3 in the Settings->Configure Quanta->User Interface check the Reset= layout to the default on the next startup checkbox and restart Quanta. c) In 3.4, in addition to the above, you can use the --resetlayout command = line switch when starting Quanta Q: How can I reuse the same Quanta instance when opening a new file associa= ted with Quanta in Konqueror (or from other application)? A: If you start Quanta with the --unique command line switch, it will reuse= the existing instance to load the files given as the parameter. To make us= e of this switch when opening Quanta from Konqueror (as an application asso= ciated with some file types), open the KDE Control Center->KDE Components->= =46ile Associations, find the file type you want to change (for example tex= t/html), select Quanta Plus and press Edit. In the Properties dialog box switch to the Application tab and change the Command entry so it= reads: "quanta --unique %U". Q: Quanta does not recognize my file and treats it like HTML. What can I do? A: If you file is a script, or CSS with a non-standard extension, Quanta wi= ll not recognize it, and instead it will treat as the default DTD you have selected in the global or project settings. But you can teach Quanta to rec= ognize your files. If for example you have CSS files with the extension of =2Etpl, you should do the following: 1) create a new "x-tpl" mimetype under the "text" group in the KDE Control = Center->KDE Components->File Associations, which is valid for=20 *.tpl files. 2) find the global $KDEDIR/share/apps/quanta/dtep/css/description.rc file a= nd add the text/x-tpl to the MimeTypes list: MimeTypes =3D text/css,text/x-tpl 3) restart Quanta. From now on *.tpl files will be treated as CSS inside Qu= anta. 4) to use the CSS syntax highlighting for .tpl files, use Settings->Configu= re Editor->Highlighting and for the Markup/CSS highlight add the=20 text/x-tpl mimetype: text/css;text/x-tpl (or use the wizard button to pick = up the tpl mimetype). --Boundary-01=_tXyGCvX1PJqZEeL-- --nextPart1255334.U6QTCtV6Tx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQBCGyXtTQdfac6L/08RAr2fAJY2Iom5YR0Ej4x/65gKxw2mZZa+AKCA8vwT P8IFV0fDBjEXxscrsf7utA== =jmzr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1255334.U6QTCtV6Tx-- --===============1844634460== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Quanta mailing list Quanta@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta --===============1844634460==--
