Xcode doesn't pass the keyFileSender parameter to any external
editors, not even BBEdit. Passing that parameter implies that Xcode
handles the responses, which it currently doesn't. So no, we don't
provide full ODB Suite support.
Ah, thanks for the info -- I read in the archive it used ODB Suite, but
it would seem then, that it doesn't use *anything* from the ODB Suite,
since the ODB Suite only defines the keyFileSender and events to be
sent *from* the external editor to the client, or did I overlook
something?
(Xcode checks the status of open files any time it's brought to the
front, so it actually doesn't need to support most of the ODB Suite. I
think the only missing function is that we can't see that a file's
been renamed by an external editor.)
Nor that it is currently modified in the external editor?!?
Though how does Xcode signal the external editor that it should save
the document (before Xcode builds the project)?
And is the list of "Supported" editors (versus "Limited support", shown
in the Xcode UI when configuring external editors) hardcoded? and what
does it mean to be supported in contrast to limited support, if Xcode
doesn't use any apple events other than odoc to load documents in the
external editors?
