New Release of Shrpr Web Resource Editor

There seems to be quite some interest in this project and so some bugs surfaced that I have fixed now.

Those fixes also come with a new feature

Annotations show up, eg if you have a TODO in a comment in the file you are editing.
Hovering over the annotation on the left sidebar, shows the TODO.
Clicking on it brings you right to the annotation.

Fixes included:
  • Some users had the problem, that clicking the Edit in WRE button did load a wrong URL. This should be fixed now.
  • An error was thrown when moving the mouse over the sidebar.
  • The WebResourceEditor loaded only the published state of the Webresource. It is more useful to load the unpublished state. This is fixed now.

Thanks to all who reported the bugs. Surely there are still rough edges on the editor. I plan to fix them in future releases.

If you have already installed the managed solution, I suggest you update to the new version using the Overwrite option, when importing the solution.

You can find the download on GitHub

  1. Hi. Just wondering when you plan on a release that does not rely on the javscript web resource having a .js suffix but works off the type instead? I ask because I have inherited lots of JScript web resources that do not have the suffix and I want to use your editor to edit them. If you are planning on a release soon that works off the type I will hold off renaming all my web resources and wait for your next release. Thanks

  2. Improving the Editor in this direction is my next priority.
    Also I want to improve the checks it does when opening a resource.
    I plan to do these updates within the next 2 weeks.

  4. Hi Saoise,

    the new release is there. This should the issue about JScript resources that have no extension.

  5. Hi Georg. Great stuff. I installed it and can now edit JS web resources that do not have a .js suffix. Help and about work too! I notice that doing a CTRL-F to find text doesn't work correctly. If you have time, that would be an excellent addition.
