Title: HiEditor V1.0.1.1
Post by: akyprian on September 12, 2006, 11:25:50 AM
Hi all,

This is HiEditor V1.0.1.1

what's new

1. Tabbed interface (built in the HiEdit custom control thus keeping system
resources requirements very low) for handling multiple (unlimited number of) files simultaneously (Thanks Sevag.K)
Therefore:
File-Open opens multiple files at once
New menu items; File: Close,Next,Previous,Save All
Right click on the arrows of the HiTab control to move to any item
Right click on any item of the HiTab control to get the file menu
Can now drop multiple files from explorer at once
etc etc

2. If a single line document is loaded, the horizontal scrollbar was not set properly; fixed (Thanks icehole)

3. On the Options dialog, the Up-Down controls are now inside the appropriate text boxes (Thanks shantanu_gadgil)

4. On the Options dialog, "OK" and "Cancel" buttons are now positioned appropriately (Thanks shantanu_gadgil, Ghirai)

5. Minor bug with XP themes fixed (Thanks Ghirai)

6. Status bar flicker removed

7. icons on messageboxes are used now (Thanks Ghirai)

8. A lot of improvements regarding text ole drag / drop

9. You can specify your own filter strings for the Save As and File Open Dialogs
in HiEditor.ini, section [GENERAL]; For example:
FileTypes=Assembly files (*.asm)NUL*.asmNULInclude files (*.inc)NUL*.incNULResource files (*.rc)NUL*.rcNULBatch files (*.bat)NUL*.batNULText files (*.txt)NUL*.txtNULAll Files (*.*)NUL*.*NULNUL

10. Paste is improved

11. A LOT of optimizations and bug fixes.

Regards,

Antonis

Great job :U

A quick suggestion: open up a new tab when double-clicking on the empty space at the right of an existing tab (like web browsers do).

Holding CTRL-F pressed increments the X in *FileX. I think it should stop if there are no tabs to close.

Also, when i open a new tab, type nothing in it, then click save-all, it doesn't save the empty tab. IMO it should allow saving empty files.

EDIT: Seems to work when saving an idividual file.

And another thing, add keyboard shortcuts to the buttons (esp. in the save dialog). For example hitting 'y' on the keyboard will press the 'Yes' button.
Just add a '&' before the letter in the button name.

Thanks a lot for your good words. I know some people do not like coloring, I may provide a different version for it; what others say?

Your suggestions will be taken into consideration, thanks again

Looking good, and a clever interface for the tab bar.
A minor cosmetic detai: how about making the tab-navigator buttons invisible when all the tabs fit in the space provided?
Having a line-numbers show/hide button on that bar would be nice too.

@Ghirai:
Saving of 0-byte files is allowed provided you have modified them before trying to save. This is by design.

Hi akyprian,
I am using v1.0.1.1 and there seems to be an issue with copying and pasting.

1. Copying:
When copying FROM a Richedit box (any other app), say WordPad, etc...then HiEditor sticks a bunch on NUL characters in the pasted text.
No problems while copying from another simple EDIT box

2. Pasting
CTRL+Ins doesn't seem to be copying, just switches the indicator at the bottom to OVR. HiEditor is still running in INSERT mode!
SHIFT+Ins works OK for pasting though!

Other than these...great work!!!  :U :U
I am already using HiEditor instead of notepad!!!

Regards,
Shantanu

Hi Shantanu Gadgil,

You are right on both issues. You will have them fixed in the forthcoming new version soon.

Thanks a lot,

Antonis
