Hi all,

Speedbar is very useful for file browser or other programming.
But this have a big problem is, speedbar is show in other frame.
So need switch between two frame, not very convenient.

And have a exist extension sr-speedbar.el (write by "Sebastian Rose")
can make speedbar show in same frame.

Find it at: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/sr-speedbar.el

I'm another developer of sr-speedbar.
I have attached newest version of sr-speedbar.

I want to integrate sr-speedbar with speedbar.
"Sebastian Rose" and me were sign copyright of FSF.

Any suggestion?

Eric, could you give your opinion of sr-speedbar?

Hi,

  I read small bits of sr-speedbar a little while ago.  As far as I
know, it uses the same techniques that ECB uses, by advising various
windowing functions in order to keep the speedbar window safe.  It
also uses a bunch of speedbar's hooks. A while ago (June?) there were
lots of discussions on emacs-devel on how to make ECB work without
advice in Emacs.  I would imagine that the simpler sr-speedbar would
benefit from the same kind of thing.

  I lost track of the ECB discussion though, so I don't know what
sorts of changes were made for it.

  I can read some more of sr-speedbar if a more detailed opinion is
needed.

Eric

Yep, i agree.
It's not good if use many advice in sr-speedbar.

I want to ask,
it's possible support "same frame display" option in speedbar?
And modified some code of speedbar.

So don't need advices and so many hook to implement it.

Hi,

  I think it would be good to modify speedbar to make this sort of
thing easier.  I think ECB has similar problems when it integrates
speedbar into its display set.

  Speedbar was built on top of dframe.el.  dframe.el was meant to be a
utility any "auto updating in a frame" tool could use.  I don't think
any other such tools were written though.  dframe.el seems like the
place to add specialized window management code instead of speedbar.

Yes, I agree.  So, discussion of this should wait until we add
window-group functionality to Emacs (after the 23.1 release).

That's looks need long time to wait `window-group' functionality.
When the Emacs release 23.1?

I will try to modified the code of speedbar to implement "same frame
display" and don't use advice.

I love this feature, it's useful in console.


Bug 1: 
eval (sr-speedbar-close) twice, then (sr-speedbar-open) got following error:
Window width 0 too small (after splitting)

So, check sr-speedbar before real closing:

Hi Richard,

Thanks for you bug report.
About "bug 2", that's my mistake.
Now fix it.

About "bug 1" and "bug 3", i can't reproducte it.
Please send more details step to reproducte it.

BTW, send me or "Sebastian Rose" immediately if you find any bug, don't follow this post.

Thank you very much!
