The bottom line, though, in all deliberations regarding the merits of possible future features in the DIAdem script editor, is that with the advent of python scripting in DIAdem, the focus is definitely shifting away from editing DIAdem scripts in the DIAdem SCRIPT panel and moving toward editing DIAdem scripts in external script editors, such as Visual Studio Code or PyCharm, etc. R&D is choosing to focus its efforts on core DIAdem strengths and not on reimplementing the excellent script editing features that are already available for free. R&D will, however, be introducing DIAdem features that make it easier to navigate the shift from DIAdem execution/display to external script editor and back. For years, customers who wanted serious DIAdem script debugging have been using external script editors and connecting DIAdem execution with them via the just-in-time debugging stack. We are now formalizing this approach and making it more accessible with improved integration, new icons, documentation, etc.
Ok, is there some documentation, how to implement external editor?
I dont know how connect it. If i will use external editor, is there a way to run the script from the external editor? visual studio code does this? and debugging works as well in it? like im debugginf in VSC by line and watching dataportal in diadem in the same time?
I would like to try to use extertnal editor as i never tried it, but i need to be connected together, or i will be ALT-TABbing all the time 🙂
i see that it useless for u to work on script editor no more if its this feature available. thanks for info
This is an ongoing process that has just started. Except for debugging, there is currently no direct support for external editors. This is planned for future DIAdem versions.
