I can now also confirm that the editor can effectively open a 3GB file and use only 416KB of RAM  :clap: you just have to wait long enough.

Seeking using the scrollbar goes a bit slow though :bg

Thanks Stan Hebben for the feedback; I 'll try to improve further both the loading and scrolling speed for files of that size.

Regards,

Antonis

Hi akyprian,
Initially I just used HiEditor just for the sake of using it, but now I am using it instead of Notepad, and I must say...Woohoo!!!  :U :U :U "Fast" is an understatement!!! (My requirements of around 10 MB max)

One thing about the left margin (line numbers)...we never really know that the line number has been chopped off if we have kept a small width, right?
How about this algorithm?...Keep the width for as specified in the options, but if there are more lines than required, then auto expand the line-number margin to make them fit.

Say what???  :bg

Thanks for your good words,

Thanks for your suggestion; I 'll see what I can do

Regards,

Antonis

Anyone succesfully replaced notepad with hieditor?

If I try that, windows restores notepad.

[edit] never mind, I already found the solution. Paste it in system32\dllcache, system32 and windows folder

[gwapo]

Assuming your windows directory is c:\windows, do these commands:

attrib -r -h -s c:\windows\system32\dllcache
ren c:\windows\system32\dllcache\notepad.exe notepad.bak.exe
attrib +r +h +s c:\windows\system32\dllcache

copy c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe c:\windows\system32\notepad.bak.exe

Now replace notepad.exe with hieditor.exe, and when windows file protection pop up, just hit "cancel" and you're good to go.

To undo it, just delete the newly created notepad.exe, and rename back the notepad.bak.exe.

Hope this helps,

Also note: If your using Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit or any flavor of Windows 2003, then it is best to put those commands in a batch file, because typing from command line will be beaten by the fast reaction of system file protection of thos operating systems mentioned - but batch file will be able to solve that.

Or you can leave Notepad alone and change the file associations.
On WinXP:
right click on icon, go to "Open with" then "Choose Program"
browse to Heditor and click the "Always use selected program... "
This will have to be done for every extension you want to open with Heditor.

This can also be done via "Folder Options" and "File Types" tab.

I would like to see (perhaps too much to ask for, but no harm in askin'):
drag-drop support
tabbed interface with find search/replace on all open documents
simple encryption/decryption
a document compare on all open files (compars 'active' file and hilites all differences on other open files).

Thanks to all for your feedback.

@Sevag.K:
1.Text Drag & drop is already supported
2.All your suggestions have been added to my "ToDo" list

Sorry, I should've been more specific.  I meant DropFiles.

[akyprian]

Will be done, thanks
