Recently, Tizen released Tizen Studio 1.0 for the Tizen developers. The original Tizen SDK components converged all together while their functionalities are improved. Also, UX has been nicely improved. IDE, GUI Builder, Debugger, Profiler and etc, all components have more strong consistent user experience now. Absolutely, it is good news for Tizen developers. :)

In the mean time, if you are a big fan of Tizen Studio EDC Editor, I'd like to give you a tip that a way of launching EDC Editor on the Linux console mode. Of course, you could use EDC Editor on the Tizen Studio through the standard route but sometimes you'd better launch it manually if your project is not supposed to use Tizen IDE. Any case is OK, but this tip is for that case.

I believe you already have the Tizen Studio on Linux (Ubuntu) PC. Necessary components and EDC Editor executable must be installed properly. Let me suppose your Tizen Studio is installed in the HOME directory (/home/user/tizen-studio). You can see the EDC Editor in tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor and necessary libraries(EFL) in tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools. The only thing you need to do is just set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to edc-editor and efl-tools. Let's try to launch EDC Editor with these commands.

$PATH=/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/bin:/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/lib:/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools/lib/ ~/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/bin/enventor

Even though you have installed EFL libraries manually on your PC, you must set the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to EFL in the Tizen studio because Tizen EFL is little different with upstream version. It has customized functionalities so the behavior may be different. Also, It's not surprise that executable name is enventor. Actually EDC Editor is customized to Tizen wise from EFL Enventor project. Anyhow, you must see the EDC Editor window.



To launch the EDC Editor with specific EDC file, launch it with this file name.

$PATH=/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/bin:/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/lib:/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools/lib/ ~/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/bin/enventor sample.edc

Lastly, If you need to set the resource paths then use the below options. Those options could be applied multiple times.

$PATH=/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/bin:/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/lib:/home/user/tizen-studio/tools/efl-tools/lib/ ~/tizen-studio/tools/edc-editor/bin/enventor sample.edc  -i ./my_image_path -i ./my_image_path2 -s ./my_sound_path -s ./my_sound_path2 -f ./my_font_path -f ./my_font_path2 


If you think the command is too long, please write your script. I believe It would be a piece of cake by you. :)
