Source Code Control Integration

Completely Revamped! Our Source Control Connectivity now supports Visual SourceSafe, Perforce, PVCS, StarTeam and any other Source Code Control product that supports the Microsoft Source Code Control programming interface (MS SCC API).

It's Easy! Enable Source Control Connectivity on the Options screen and Primalscript will use your default source control system. Then just tell Primalscript that your project is under Source Control and you are ready to go.

From within Primalscript:

• Add a complete workspace to source control in one easy step! From the Workspace Nexus, select Connect to Source Control from the context menu.
• Connect a folder to source control. Tell Primalscript about any folder on your local machine that is mapped to source control. This enables source control features for any file opened in any way. No Workspace or Projects necessary!
• Get latest version
• Check out
• Check in
• Undo check out
• Add file to source control
• Remove file from source control
• Refresh status from source control database
• Show File History
• Show File Differences
• Show File Properties

Windows Script Host Support

Microsoft has announced Windows Script Host 5.6 and is currently in Beta on the project. Primalscript supports many new features in this beta.

Keep in mind WSH 5.6 is in Beta. We will release Service Packs to make sure we support changes by Microsoft to their new scripting technologies.

• Stop Script Button. Stop your scripts with a click of a button on the Script toolbar.
• Workspace Nexus supports all New XML tags in WSH project files.
• Script Signing.
• Remote Script Execution. (this feature is on hold for now because support for it is not working in the WSH 5.6 Beta)

The Workspace Nexus

In addition to creating Windows Script Host projects, Primalscript's Worksapce Nexus allows you to create your own projects. Create a project from an FTP site or a folder on your local net. Set transfer settings for each project and publish via FTP or network copy. Create your own project commands that show up on Primalscript's toolbar.

• Enhanced Source Code Control Integration. From within the Workspace Nexus, you can now Connect to Source Control. If you already have code under source control and all you need to do is tell Primalscript about it. Just right-click on the workspace node in the Workspace Nexus and select Connect to Source Control. Primalscript recursively connects all files in your workspace to a source control project -- even if you have multiple projects! One easy step!
• Custom Projects. A project is a collection of related code files in any or all scripting languages you use. Just drag them into the Workspace Nexus and you have added them to the project.
• File Transfer. With a single command, post your Web Application using FTP or transfer your project files to a local server via a network copy. The Workspace Nexus remembers the transfer method and location.
• Multiple Projects per Workspace. You are working on a large project and you need to break the task down into smaller projects. Primalscript�s tree control project view allows you to keep track of all your projects and files from one handy place.
• Build Commands. Primalscript can compile, build, run in debugger, and check syntax to name a few. In additional, you can enter your own project commands to happen before or after the build commands run.
• Project Commands. A project command is a way of automating tasks particular to your project. You may decide that you need to build a project command that does an HTML validation check (third party program) on your project files and you want that to happen right before you run in a debugger. Another example might be to transfer all the appropriate files to your server before running your Web Application.
• Project Wizards. If you are like us, you have a basic projects that you like to start with. Primalscript has project wizards that allow you create those projects in the blink of an eye. They are template-based wizards so you can personalize them according to your own needs.

Primalsense� Support

• Function List. The Primalsense toolbar now contains a drop down list of functions for VBScript, JScript, JavaScript, ActionScript, ASP, PHP, and VB.Net.
• Auto Case Correction. Type a variable or function name and Primalscript will automatically correct your typing if the capitalization is incorrect. Supports VBScript, JScript, JavaScript, ActionScript, ASP, PHP, WinBatch, and VB.Net.
• Faster. We've optimized our language parsers to increase the speed of Primalsense.
• Language Support. Code completion, parameter help, and object member (object methods and properties pop up list) support is even better and works for more languages including HTML, VBScript, JScript, ASP, ActionScript , PHP, and more.
• Code Completion. Type in the first part a function call or other code you need and type Ctrl-SPACE. If Primalscript can find an unambiguous match, it will put in the text that you are looking for. If not, a list of possible items pops up. Keep on typing to narrow your match. Press TAB and you�re on your way.
• PrimalSense Toolbar. Typing along? Can�t remember the keystroke to bring up Code Completion? Just click on the toolbar button to enact the feature. It also includes the Parameter Help and Object Member actions.
• Browser Object Model Support. A feature of the auto Method and Properties pop up list. Type in a browser object such as Document and Primalscript will show the member list for that object.
• ASP Object Model Support. Can�t remember exactly which methods and properties reside in those ASP objects? Type the period after the word Response, for instance, and Primalscript will tell you what you need to know.
• HTML Code completion. works for HTML, too. Type a partial tag name or an attribute name and Primalscript will help you find exactly what you�re looking for.

Server Development Solutions

• Language Support. Great server-side languages syntax coloring. In addition to adding PHP and JSP, we�ve improved our syntax coloring for Active Server Pages and dramatically improved PrimalSense support, including the ASP object model (the Response, Request, and other ASP objects).
• Debug Messages. Primalscript can receive debug messages directly from your PHP Web Application. We will also have a utility available for sending debug messages using any server language that supports calls into COM objects on a Windows server platform.

Additional Features

• Run Single Instance. Now you may configure whether Primalscript starts a new instance when double-clicking on registered file types.
• Document Tabs On Top. You can now configure Primalscript to show its document tabs above or below the editing window.
• UNICODE Support. Read and write UNICODE files.
• Persistent Undo. On NTFS file systems (NT and Win2000), undo information is saved to disk in a separate stream on the disk. When you open a file to return to editing, all undo information is still available.
• HTML Toolbar. Get easy access to basic HTML commands via this toolbar.
• Even faster. We�re proud that Primalscript is a feature-packed product and still is sleek and fast. Well, we�ve kept it up. There are more features and we made it even faster than it was.
• Find in files. Find in files now does its work on a background thread so your editing time is not interrupted when you do those huge search requests. At your leisure, just check the results window to see what Primalscript found. To cancel the search, just click the Find in Files button on the toolbar.
• Optional Update Checker. If you�d like Primalscript to check to see if you still have the latest version, just select it from the Help menu and Primalscript will check our web site to see if there is a newer version available. No personal information is sent to our server.
• Spelling Checker. Small and fast.
