Gedittools – a new version

First of all: Thanks to all folks using my Gedittools plug-in for Gedit! All the mails and comments and download stats show that I was not the only guy looking for missing functionality in Gedit. During the past week or so I found some time to improve the XML-highlighting mechanism for Gedittool:

In fact, I re-designed and implemented the algorithm to find and highlight XML-tags from scratch. It is now much faster in searching and highlighting.

All other features like

– counting search results
– highlighting marked words throughout the document
– integrating a meld-interface to compare / diff opened files

remain as they are. Feel free to download the plug-in at Github.
