Which is the fastest syntax highlighting lister plugin?

[Aleq]

Hello Everybody,
can you guide me, which is the fastest syntax highlighting lister plugin? I've tried few but they were user unfriendly and delayed the process of opening lister window by few seconds. I like when the lister appears instantly.

Thanks a lot!

Probably nobody knows well all lister plugins with syntax highlighting. SynUS is the fastest I actually used.
I recommend using plugin when you have a lot of text and internal viewer to check something quickly, it works best for me.

For me ScintillaLister, anyway, I have made a wild test of some Highlight plugins
note: my machine is not yours, I use winVista, a hand Stopwatch is not the best tool for this task

Code: Select all

.cpp file 30 Kb

hpg_ed		~00,400 sec
ScintillaLister	~00,400 sec
SynPlus		~00,500 sec
HighLight		~00,500 sec
SynMinus		~01,000 sec
GSALister		~01,700 sec


.cpp file 5,2 Mb

ScintillaLister 	~00,700 sec
SynPlus		~01,200 sec
GSALister		~12,000 sec
SynMinus		~50,000 sec
hpg_ed		∞
HighLight		∞

Perhaps I should have written that initial appearance of the window was the most important to me. GSALister took several seconds to appear at all.
I'll try ScintillaLister

I usually use Igor Pavlov's timer to measure execution times. In this case you would probably have to create a (ahk?) script that sends cm_List to TC, waits for lister window to show and quits.

ADDED: ScintillaLister crashes here Maybe it's not compatible with the latest Scintilla? Could anyone share a working one?

Hi m^2,

ScintillaLister crashes here Confused Maybe it's not compatible with the latest Scintilla? Could anyone share a working one?

I found the same problem with the current last version (1.76). Here it works fine for me with version 1.74. where you can download it from the official page.

Indeed, it's fast
Thank you, Sombra!
About the test - GSA Lister can be tweaked a bit. Just delete the highlighter configuration file. It has a built-in copy.

Sorry, I forget to mention the incompatibility with SciLexer.dll since version 1.75

That cross my mind but I'm lazy
