Catalog nodes (usually bold in the Explorer's tree) are read from the Explorer.*.cfg file, but can be maintained at runtime in the GUI. To edit these, select the bold node in the tree ctrl, select one of the category items in the list ctrl. Right click on it and choose Inspect (or click it on the toolbar). The settable properties of the node will appear in the Inspector. Changes will be saved to Explorer.*.cfg. This is how all the different explorers listed below are configured.
The following protocols have been implemented:
Filesystem |
This includes your and other network drives
accessible through your filesystem. On windows specify a valid UNC path,
e.g. //Machine for these network drives. If the module opened in the Explorer is also listed in a Application (wxApp module) open in the Editor, the module will be opened as an application module (F9 will run the application). Windows note: When you use Boa for the first time, only drive 'c:\' is defined. Please define the other drives your machine has. |
Bookmarks |
Frequently visited source code directories. Define the current projects that you are working on in here. Only Filesystem nodes can be bookmarked currently. |
sys.path | Lists the directories in sys.path |
Zip archives | Zip files in Filesystem Explorer can be browsed as read only directories. This will be read/write when support for 1.5.2 is stopped. Copying from a Zip archive to the Filesystem is allowed. |
CVS | CVS browsing and operations are supported. |
Zope | Boa provides a management interface for Zope, integrated with the IDE. |
SSH |
Files can be browsed or copied and pasted between your filesystem and a SSH connection
and can also be opened and saved in the Editor. SSH and SCP have to be installed and working. |
FTP | Files can be browsed or copied and pasted between your filesystem and a FTP connection and can also be opened and saved in the Editor. |
WebDAV (incomplete implementation) |
Files can be browsed, copied and pasted between your filesystem and a WebDAV server
and can also be opened and saved in the Editor. Properties can be read in the inspector, but not yet edited. |
