I'm trying to get Pieces to work with UltraEdit. I installed Pieces but UltraEdit still doesn't see it. How do I get UltraEdit to see Pieces or to integrate into UltraEdit?
Thanks

There is nothing to configure by an UltraEdit user for using an installed Pieces with the Pieces plugin of UltraEdit. The enabled Pieces plugin respectively UltraEdit should automatically detect an installed Pieces.
I have not installed Pieces but looked with Process Monitor which file system and registry accesses are made by UltraEdit 2025.1.0.20 for detecting an installed Pieces for Developers. uedit64.exe makes two file system accesses for:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mesh Intelligent Technologies, Inc\Pieces OS\com.pieces.os\production\Config\.port.txt
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\com.pieces.os\production\Config\.port.txt
UltraEdit cannot find the file .port.txt on my computer and makes no more file system or registry access for *pieces* according to the Process Monitor log.
I clicked also with the secondary (usually right) pointing device (mouse) button into the Pieces for Developers window of the Pieces plugin, clicked on the context menu item Inspect, and looked on the HTML code of the Pieces plugin with DevTools. There must be indeed found the file .port.txt to get the data for establishing a connection to Pieces. Pieces must also be running. UltraEdit does not start Pieces on not running as far as I could see in the HTML file. The HTML file can be opened also in UltraEdit by opening the HTML file %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\plugins\pieces\index.html. The script function getPiecesPort in the HTML file contains the two fully qualified file names posted above. The script function isPiecesInstalled contains just commented code.
Note: All UltraEdit plugins require an enabled use of WebView2.
