- don't forget, this is first alpha version only !

News:

Notes to testers:
1. please, don't send me messages, that some functionality is missing. I know it and will add it back
2. write here problems coresponding to existing functionality only. In this thread I will delete all other topics to keep it clear.
3. send me reports with maximum details, steps how to simulate it, what files, what highlighter. You help me decrease time to correct problem.

Known problems:
- You can't write unicode strings in dialog fields (e.g. search). All necessary controls must be replaced with Unicode versions - its my bussiness
- Change char case depends of locale - its Windows bussines as I study Windows API. I don't know, If should be handled.

Hi, Jan

i opened .php file, encoded with iso-8859-2 and the following code:
function hasAttribute($name) {
return (isset($this->attribs[$name]));
}

looked like this:
u n c t hasAttribute($name) {
e tu ( s s ($this->attribs[$name]));
}

so, chars are missing in keywords.

iso-8859-2 support will be added back. Now you must open it as ANSI

I sent this message in May. I am using version 2061 in w98se and the 2091 in xp. The reason is that there is a problem of driver of the graphs from the version 2065 that appears in w98se and in special in highlighter

Please don't forget W98SE users.
Code explorer needs some delays.

This problem don't appears over XP, but over W98 needs some display delays, because blank window appears when code explorer window is refreshed.

Hi Jan, thanks for new version.

This is just for your information, ( i know you are still on work ) , no answer necessary.

(build 2104)
- if no Highlighter is assigned (TXT files) or Highlight syntax is off,
PSPad highlights URL address (Ctrl+Click open link)

Sinse this is a nice feature for me i tested this (with build 2109 and W2k)
and found it didn't work sometimes.

- open a TXT file
- wrote www.PSPad.com
- but there is no highlighting of the URL
- choose 'switch Syntax' and chancel without change anything
- the URL highlighting appears

BTW 'switch of' syntax in HTML works, i saw the URL highlighting

- but Ctrl+Click didn't work
the first few times in TXT and HTML,
i must first switch to an other document and back to get it work

e.g.
* HTML file
* switch syntax on again
* switch to an another doc
* come back to HTML file
* switch syntax off
* URL highlighting is on but Ctrl+Click didn't work
** switch to an another doc
** come back to HTML file ( syntax is still off )
* URL highlighting is on and Ctrl+Click works

HTH

I'm using PHP 4.5.0 build 2114 and found some "bugs" here they are

1st :
I've noticed that the Code-Explorer with the Multi-HTML-Hightlighter has changed a little bit. When I open a php-file and the cursor is on a comment-section (i mean within a /* */-comment), and then I refresh the Code-Explorer, the Code-Explorer use the HTML-Code-Explorer, so that the "normal" PHP-Code-Explorer items are not shown. When the coursor is in normal php-code, then a Code-Explorer update brings the php-stuff back again.

I think in 4.3.3 this was not so. I was able to refresh the php-Code-Explorer even within php-comments. (I know in HTML-Parts like between ?> and <?php the HTML-Code-Explorer is used)

2nd :
I've tried the MD5-stuff for files and it seems, that the MD5-String is wrong. I test it with a big file (Feroda-Core-3-DVD-Image ~ 2.6GB) and the resulting MD5-checksum was different from the "original" one (from Website). I also used another MD5-checksum program and the MD5-checksum of this program was correct, so I would say, something with the MD5-checksum from files is wrong. I give it another try and give you feedback

3rd:
Thx for such a great freeware editor,

Using build 2114
highlight matching brackets for [] and (), missing {} in Pascal source

In Pascal {} are not brackets, but par of Comments

The check HTML mode does not seem to be functional for any file types in the alpha. I do not know whether this was intentional or not.
