text-editor
configurating the text-editor
As the tex-editor also coveres all encryption/signing/decryption in jAugment
it should be configured.
To configure it you should open the file etx/texteditor.conf in a text-editor.
(Yes you can use jAugment's text-editor to edit it's own configuration. It
is only reat while starting the text-editor.)
The ACL-entries are an advanced topic and will not be covered here. They
basically specify from where and by whom what functions of the text-editor
may be accessed.
The entry jaugment2.texteditor.TextEditorProxy.useSSL specifies if SSL
should be used to encrypt the connection if you are using the text-editor
over a network. As that is seldomly the case you can leave it as "false"
to decrease startup-time and memory-consumption. The key-store and it's password
are a Java-keystore for the SSL-server-key. Consult yours JVM-documentation
about it if you want to use SSL.
There are 2 entries for using an external program to do the GPG/PGP encryption
and decryption. The default is for a gpg
. The command-line must be made in a way that the passphrase and then the
document is read from stdin and the output writen to stdout (any content on
stderr will be considered an error and the de/en-cryption considered a failure).
The alternative Cryptix-crypto-provider is commented out as it does not
always work as expected, it does however not require any external programs
tio function.
For the integration of the MIT rememberance-agent is must be installed,
it's commands must be in the PATH and augment2.texteditor.TextEditorSwingRepresentation.disableRAIntegration
must be set to "false". With ranumentries you can tell it how many entries
shall be displayed. The default is for 2 entries. With
config jaugment2.RememberanceAgent.RememberanceAgentService.index="PATH"
You tell jAugment what index to use.
using the text-editor
After you open the text-editor you are presented with an empty buffer
and a combo-box containing only 2 items "new file..." and "scratch".
If you select "new file..." you can select a new local file to open. This
can be a text-document or a PGP-encrypted text.
The new text will be opened in a new buffer. You can now switch between
the buffer you want to edit using the combo-box.
To close or save the buffer or do anything else you need to click with
the right mouse-button somewhere in the text.
The menu should be fairly self-explanatory. The text-field in "edit" is
for the text to search for and the password-field for the password for decryption/signing.
The bookmarks are for readig long texts and allow you to open a file later
at the very same position you left it. This is intendet as a help for e-books.
Rememberance-Agent
If you happen to have the MIT Rememberance-Agent installed on your system
and configured you'll also see a small table below the text displaying relevant
documents for the context given by the current cursor-position. Please read
the documentation of the rememberance-agent for more details.
