Question

Aptana 3 gets very slow with a few (large) projects, how to increase productivity?

I have several projects that I check subversion in a dev directory through which I can access through Apache. Something like that

So, if I go to this URL http://local.dev I can see all the project folders. In Aptana, it looks like

+ dev (main project folder that Apache uses as well) - project (svn branch I'm currently testing) - another_project (another svn branch) - yet_another_project (yep, another svn branch) 

Thus, in order to access the project form, I do not need to configure Apache every time, I just need to access the project folder, for example http://local.dev/project or http://local.dev/another_project

The problem is that these projects are very large (Prado, Zend and Drupal framework, as well as additional libraries if necessary), and I could have several branches of the same project that were checked in different folders. Aptana points to all this, which I consider a problem. I know that I can create a project for each of them inside Aptana itself and close the project if I do not use it, but I see no way to do this in the folder in the project (which, I think, should solve my problem), but if I I make separate project folders, I also need to configure Apache to point to a new location, which is still painful in itself.

Is there a way to close the subfolder in the project folder in Aptana? or have a subproject folder? or Close the folder inside the project? or exclude folder indexing? or disable indexing?

NOTE. Sometimes when adding a new folder to a project I get a warning from memory and / or Aptana crashes. Also, when Aptana coding becomes so sluggish that it is very cumbersome to do anything at all. I really like the Aptana IDE, but for me it could be a deal violation.

I thought I moved the Apache site to the root directory of Aptana so that I can access it at the project level, but I do not think that this will work for indexing performance on the side of Aptana.

UPDATE: This may be due to:

• http://jira.appcelerator.org/secure/EditComment!default.jspa?id=75032&commentId=169647

It looks like Aptana is indexing .svn folders

UPDATE:

So far, the only thing that needs to be done is to create a new workspace for each project that I need to check svn. It's a pain to switch between projects, but Aptana is being used again.

UPDATE # 2

• http://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-1706

Looks like the Aptana BUG list did, yes!

UPDATE # 3

After countless wizards, to get Aptana to play well, I decided to test other IDEs.

It starts with Eclipse as what Aptana is based on. I have a good collection, but it is still not 100% what I was looking for.

Also, having tried PHPStorm, which paid the IDE, but I find it the top inscription IDE

Answer 1

You can right-click on a project or folder and select Indexing > Exclude from Index to disable indexing of a specific selection.

You can also disable Project > Automatically create from the main menu so that the assembly does not start in the project each time a file is saved in it.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, and I found that going to Project> Clean ... helped a lot, although it took a while to get started.

Answer 3

I save my projects in separate workspaces, I use ramdisk for the whole workspace and aptana. And I also disable indexing for folders with compiled libraries, etc. Aptana can't even index.

I am using the paid version of AMD ramdisk. In the free version, you need to make sure that you perform permanent fixes in case of power loss. The cost of execution.

Answer 4

Yes, I just moved from Coda on Mac to Aptana 3 in order to have intellisense code and a few more validators. But their JSLint works all in the opposite direction, and now I have projects with 1000+ lines of code, and they can hardly scroll. Sometimes I can barely select text. Often I highlight a whole section so that I can back out, and it just deletes the code if my mouse is not in the right place. I initially worked with Eclipse when I tried it and abandoned it since it was so slow. My guess is here, since I have a 4.2Ghz i7 980X with 12GB of RAM and RAID'd SSDs - the neck of the bottle is not a system.

Answer 5

I completely agree that an eclipse in the form of a pure metal works better than Aptana ... but I assume that it will stop at large files and projects (for example, my to-do list with 14,000 lines of an html file).

I gave more ram for aptana by changing the configuration ... but it is still sluggish (i5, 4 GB RAM, SSD)

The cleaning option is grayed out (I use only the "General" projects)

C'MON IBM, YOU CAN DO BETTER :)
