Hi, first:
- Which version of editra you have installed?
- Was installed from the repositories?

I use editra which comes from the package : wxPython-tools-2.8.12.1-1.mga2

I cannot use the package editra because there is a conflict with the editra
which comes with wxPython-tools.

Uninstall wxPython-tools and try editra-0.7.08-1.mga3

Of course, Editra works fine.
But it is not what I want !
In the menu, the icon is in a wrong place.
It is in Tools or it is better in developement.

The Editra version that comes bundled with wxPython-tools is really old, it is
0.6.48 from 05/14/2011. The current standalone package in cauldron is 0.7.08
from07/15/2012.  

Editra does its releases independently from wxPython, so IMO, the editra
version that comes within wxPython-tools should be removed and leave the
standalone version. That way editra can be updated to latest version more
easily than if it is included with wxPython-tools, which means it can only be
updated when that package is updated. In case of backports that will be much
harder than if editra is a standalone package.

I think so.

Ok, so if nobody opposes I'll go ahead and remove editra from wxPython so it's only available in the standalone package.

Editra is now in Development category

and for this bug ? everything resolved ?

> and for this bug ? everything resolved ?

Nope, as editra also comes with wxPython we need to remove it from there. As that package currently has no maintainer to ask about this, then I'll go ahead and remove editra from wxPython so we only have this standalone version, ok ?

Now in the menu, editra is in Development category but it is also in Tools.
It would be better if it was only in "Development Environment".

@Jacques, please feel free to open a new bug, this one get confuse.

@Juan, yes feel free to do so.

Jacques, Editra is only in Development category, not in Tools.
Problem solved?

I close this bug, but there is two version of editra :
   one in a editra package
   and an other one in wxPython-tools package

If installing one of these package we cannot install the other.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
