Gena01 Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: on June 16, 2004, 09:15:15 am well i have 1.5.1 version so i dont know if its already fixed. There is some problem with path finding. Im starting some txt file externally (in sheduler program). But this file is in my Documents. So win32pad doesnt work with spaces in path.
And i dont know is it win32pad work or main, but New Tex Document dissapeared from New meniu in Explorer. Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: on June 16, 2004, 12:44:42 pm Hi there!
Nice piece of software! The only think i miss is the "URL text color" setting: i like light blue text on black background, so all the hyperlinks are lost (try it). Is there a fix for this? Or maybe are you planning this option for the next release? Thankyou a lot! Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: therube on June 16, 2004, 10:38:26 pm
I ran into a similar problem before:

well, i was using 1.3.2 till now, and it was ok. So how can i pass fullname to my sheduler (Chameleon Clock)? it works then i chang My Documents to Mydocu~1 in path to txt file in bat file, but Chameleon doesnt support such paths. i think editor should work with a filename as a parameter too.

You might need to tweak how the parameters are passed to win23pad. win32pad doesn't need the full path. The issue that you are seeing is that the path is not quoted. You might want to check the registry entries or the way the parameters are passed to win32pad. I know that on windows 2000 setup uses the following registry to open a file: C:\Program Files\Win32Pad\win32pad.exe "%L" Note the quotes around the %L.. (%L provides the full path to the file) Gena01 Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: on June 17, 2004, 04:06:05 pm After using metapad so long I've come to depend on 'Favorites'. Metapad is like an editor and stickynotes in one. If this program had a 'Favorites' feature I would surely consider it. Thank you.

so, i've found the way to tweak my sheduler, the task was to open txt file, and now i've changed it to open win32pad with a path to file as argument. So now it works. Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: on June 18, 2004, 07:55:15 am I love Win32Pad, but I've thought of a new feature I think would be cool. Today I was working with a email list and realized I might have some duplicate email addresses...It would be nice if there would be a feature to locate strings of which there are two.

Hmm... David, imho a software like this is valuable as far as it stays small and fast, without trying to compete with more powerful text editors. Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: therube on June 18, 2004, 02:44:19 pm
RPSORT v1.02 http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/dos/downl_44.asp RPSORT is a command line sort utility that has an option to ... /D deletes any record whose sortkeys duplicate those in a previous record. Also various unix style programs will give you the same or similar options - sort & uniq are two. Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: on June 19, 2004, 06:57:53 am
This is where a request I had made earlier would be handy. I still am hoping to get the feature implemented where in all instances of a word gets highlighted when searched for using the "Find". This will show visually all instances and therby serve the purpose David is also hoping for.

until such a feature comes in, I guess I'll have to besides using the win32pad, continue using the last freeware version of the Emeditor (1.27) that does this! Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: on June 19, 2004, 11:11:40 pm I've been using win32pad as a notepad replacement for a while now, and I had to keep ms's notepad around for two reasons:
1) win32pad can't handle unicode files 2) I can't find an option to print in a fixed-pitch font. Would it be possible to get those fixed so I can delete ms's notepad once and for all? Also, while I'm here, win32pad is small, but doesn't load as fast as ms's notepad ( for small files - but much faster for large files ), and it uses a lot more ram than notepad. Would be nice if some attention could be paid to those issues. Thanks, Royce3 Title: Win32Pad 1.5.2 Feedback Post by: therube on June 21, 2004, 11:22:20 am "word gets highlighted when searched"
VIM has a 'Search Pattern Highlighting' function, hlsearch, that does that. Maybe something could be gleaned from reviewing the sources. http://www.vim.org/ "win32pad can't handle unicode files" This is getting to be a bit more of a problem, especially on XP where unicode files are used more frequently (by MS). "I can't find an option to print in a fixed-pitch font" I never print from within Win32pad, but I gather unless told otherwise, print will just print out in the default font that the printer is set to? Actually, what I would think it perhaps? should do is to print based upon the current font settings in effect.

I've been using win32pad since June 2003, and like it a lot; and I appreciate that you keep tweaking it. This might sound like an odd request, but I'd like to be able to hide the menu bar in order to help create a 'blind typing' mode. I write fiction, and when I'm drafting I like to type rapidly and forget about technical details like spelling -- or even having to keep watching the monitor. Sometimes I lose what I've written because I accidentally hit a key combination and end up typing in a dialog field for five minutes; or I simply lose focus from the typing area so the keystrokes don't record. I've set up a small macro program (Keytext) so it overrides most of the shortcut keys and changes them to 'Esc' -- which takes care of accidental dialog boxes. But I can't use that trick on the menu bar itself, because Alt-Space, Alt-E, Alt-V, Alt-T, and Alt-H can be activated as sequences, without holding the Alt key. Ideally, I'd like to be able to deactivate all hotkeys and key combinations except Ctrl+S and just use the mouse context menu. But I'm hoping you'll consider making it possible to toggle the menu bar -- by adding it to the context menu &/or giving it a hotkey. A few miscellaneous other things: I'd find it useful to have win32pad create a simple backup file, one save behind. I'd prefer if Shift+Tab didn't leave the line selected. I often find it a little challenging to set the cursor at the beginning of a line with the mouse -- and this goes for all text editors -- but I think it would be ergonomically beneficial to double or triple the click-space between the selection bar and the initial character. People would become happier and more friendly, without knowing exactly why. -- Marshall B. |
