Lite XL for AmigaOS 4.1 FE

Lite XL is coming to AmigaOS 4.1.

A few things are not quite working. Please have a look at the "Known issues" section below.

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/"

Changelog

[1.16.12.5] - 2022-01-03

Changed

  • Changed the Gfx memory leak solution to a fix that was applied by the editor development team on Lua scripts at a later version. Less custom code for AmigaOS 4 port.

[1.16.12.3] - 2021-12-29

  • Compiled with an experimental version of the latest Anti-Grain Geometry library. This is might have issues and crash LiteXL

[1.16.12.2] - 2021-12-26

Added

  • Added Amiga version. This version of LiteXL is based on v1.16.12 source code which will not change. I will use the fourth digit to distinguish different AmigaOS 4 releases, until a new port of the latest available source (v2.x) is made.

Fixed

  • The keyboard shortcuts are now working

Changed

  • Now the HOME ENV variable is optional. If this is not set, the LiteXL folder will be used to create user's .config folder
