Lite XL for AmigaOS 4.1 FE

Lite XL is coming to AmigaOS 4.1. This is a preview release for my supporters and not ready for public release, so please do not share it yet.

A lot of things are not quite working. Please have a look at the todo list below, for known bugs and things I want to add.

If you would like to give me some feedback, contact me at walkero@gmail.com

Installation

You can extract the Lite XL archive wherever you want and run the lite editor.

Configuration folder

This editor creates a .config folder where the configuration is saved, as well as plugins, themes etc.. By default this AmigaOS 4.1 FE version uses the executable folder, but if you want to ovveride it, create an ENV variable named HOME and set there your path.

You can check if there is one already set by executing the following command in a shell

GetEnv HOME

If there is one set, then you will see the path at the output.

Otherwise, you can set your home path be executing the following command. Change the path to the one of your preference.

SetEnv SAVE HOME "Sys:home/"
