Please report feedback on Win32Pad 1.5.9.1 in this thread.
Things coming in later releases:
- Better printing support. (Stay tuned a rewrite is in progress)
- More fixes and improvements.
- Other exciting stuff.
Please please check for any regressions and report any problems/bugs you find.
Thank you.

Not a regression with the new version, but there is a bug with the clipboard and Search & Replace and a limit of 80 characters.
1. Start WinPad32
2. Open a document that contains a line longer than 80 characters.
3. Select the line and press CTRL+C (Copy)
4. Press CTRL+F (Find) and press CTRL+V and then press Enter
5. Notice that it only selects the first 80 characters of the line.
This also happens when doing Replace, where it only replaces the first 80 characters.
If there is a need for a 80 characters limitation, then there should at least be a warning that operation will not be performed as intended. Have ended up with some funny documents after doing search and replace.

Not a regression with the new version, but there is a focus bug with Search and Replaced (Also mentioned in Win32Pad 1.5.9)
1. Open a document
2. Press CTRL+H and perform a Replace All, now the Replace-dialog has lost focus.
3. When pressing Esc to close the Replace-dialog nothing happens. (Unless having activated "Exit on Esc" as it then it asks whether to save changes to the document, which isn't a good thing either)
I don't experience this behavior with the Find-dialog.

Hello there!
Was pretty much excited when I read today that you want to implement the feat to let win32pad remember the file type one last opened. I was even more excited when I found that a version has been released which should be capable of exactly this!
*download* *unzip* *runit* *openfile* *closewin32pad* *runit* *openfile* ...
It hasn't remembered the file type...
Am I doing something wrong?

It currently remembers it while Win32Pad is open for that instance. I might add a more permanent feature in the next version. One reason of my concern is that some people might be against it. Still considering my options.

In this case - make it optional. ;)
And wasn't it already before the most current release that it remembered the file type? ;)
And who could possibly not want something like that?

FWIW
In my mind, it's more about using the right tool for the job.
And for doing what I did, gvim was the right tool.
| Code Sample |
File: allfiles 3,986,619 bytes System: AMD Sempron 3000+, 448MB RAM, Windows XP Programs: win32pad v1.5.9.1 subpad v1.0 gvim (aka vim aka vi) v6.3 at one point & had all three program running at once. VMem sizes: gvim 18560KB win32pad 14084KB subpad 50000KB & growing replace all instances off 'e' with 'xx' 200,910 substitutions on 68,497 lines; 80,672 lines total in file gvim finished - in an instant (& that is with win32pad running & subpad [still] loading) initially, only running win32pad, it was using 99% cpu - causes a big drag on the system then when I started subpad, cpu was split 50/50% then when I started gvim, cpu was ? - gvim finished too quickly for any difference to be noted subpad got to 500KB VM & was still loading the file - i killed it win32pad FINALLY finished - i didn't time it, but should have - might have been upwards of 18 minutes or so now, running subpad alone, cpu 99% VM 541KB taking 4 minutes just to open the file - & then I get an out of memory error from subpad - it loaded 42,891 lines out of the 80,672 total, so only about 50% -- search & replace is only using 30% cpu -- much less of a drain on system --- though it is also taking a long time (I had thought it used a Boyer-Moore - yep it says it does) finally finish (on the truncated file) in about 6 minutes, but also recevied an "Assertion failure" |
In my mind, it's more about using the right tool for the job.

I think Win32pad just doesn't handle unicode for now but ANSI only.

I have a feature request, involving the line numbers.
I would like it, when wordwrap is on, to only display line numbers after every carriage return instead of every line. Can you make a new toggle for me in General Options, or in the View menu?
Just an idea, and it would ease my mind a bit when I have to switch between views in some of my html documents.

I just upgraded all my Win32Pad 1.5.0 installations to 1.5.9.1
On one machine (out of three) I have no COPY/PASTE function. Specifically, the COPY function is not getting to the clipboard. (I'm watching the clipboard with "Clipboard Viewer.") The CUT function puts the copy on the clipboard fine. I'm running Win95-B on two identical machines (except that the one that WON'T copy has only 32MB of RAM, whereas the Win95 machine that works OK has 128MB).
Also, on the machine that WON'T copy, the COPY function works fine in NOTEPAD and BOXER/DOS and BOXER/WIN.
Not a big problem -- I still have 1.5.0 available which works fine on this machine.
Any ideas?

You hit the nail on the head. That fixed the copy/paste problem completely.
Actually, the repair was "moot," since I'd switched all three computers back to v1.5.0 anyway -- that new "home-home" feature was driving me batty.
Thanks anyway.

Hi, I'd like to thank you for developing Win32pad. One thing I'd really like to view in the next releses is the possibility to search/replace by regexp. It would be very useful for me (and others, I think).
A sidenote: I'vemade 2 batch files to replace and restore the system notepad. Here they are.

Tested on WinXP SP2.

Not saying this is good, or bad, or whatnot, but here is a small editor with regex, syntax highlighting, & unicode.
If you'd want to take a look at it for informational purposes.
GreenPad - kMonos.NET
http://www.kmonos.net/lib/gp.en.html
IMO, as far as importance & based upon how I use win32pad, regex, perhaps, syntax highlighting, probably not. Unicode, probably more important on XP then on Win98.

Delightful app...small footprint & fast...well thought out...utlizes existing OS resources...this is well executed planning & code - congrats!
Just adevelopments thought - As a developer, I would very much like to see a tabbed interface in order that I can work/edit between multiple open files simply by clicking a tab - rather than switching editing windows. Given that one may have quite a few apps open on the desktop at any given time - remaining within one editing app/window is a valuable time & frustration saver!
Looking forward to your next build!!!

I had never realised it before, but you can drag & drop into a Win32pad window.
Like you can highlight text or links on a webpage & drag that into Win32pad - without needing to have copied it first.
Saves a step or two.
You can even highlight a selection in Win32pad, & drag it elsewhere in the file.

I think I've found a bug.
I can't display character this character: (code: 0xAD,ALT+0173). The character seems to be there but with a width of 0 pixels (because using the cursor keys, it notices there's something there).
This happened with version 1.5.7, and still happens with version 1.5.9.1 . Changing the font from Fixedsys to Times New Roman didn't help.
PD: Previewing the post it seems the forum can't display it either...

I think i also found a bug. The win32pad.ini get's saved to Documents and Settings\Joe Smith\Application Data\Gena01\win32pad instead of the home directory where Win32Pad is installed. First i thought that's because i have the zip version, but then the same thing also happened with the setup exe version(v1.5.9.1).
And after the problem, a suggestion, or two.
A 'margin' where you can define it's size, now it's one 'space', i want more
...
A 'text' setting for 'line numbers' (font, color, background color, selected line color).
So i can match the document and the line numbers. Oh and that line between the two is also kind of funny, can you make it flat?

Sorry. I know it's been rather quiet... or too quiet here lately... at least on my part. I've been busy. Lots of stuff going on. Among all the stuff that's happening I am putting together the next win32pad release.
Here is preliminary changelog:
======================
+ Added Unicode file support. (Experimental)
+ Changed Copy to Clipboard to copy Unicode text. (Experimental)
+ Added .text file extension to Open/Save filters.
x "Save As" wasn't asking permission to overwrite the file.
x Fixed focus transfer after Replace All.
x Increased the Search/Replace to 255 characters from 80.
Stay tuned,

Asking for more all the time...
Would it be possible to add some sort of possibility to edit the file type filters?
E.g. because I'm not using PHP I would like to remove that type, but sometimes I want to open an ebs file (*.ebs, *.txt) and would like to add that.
Thanks for a great program!

I believe that the below request was not posted in the correct place:
===============================================
I would like to see a way to comment/uncomment a selected section of a file. By comment I mean prepend a character or characters to the front of a line in the file.
I understand that this poses a problem with the different programming languages that are out there. Along those lines I would suggest that the character to be prepended be a user setting. Or better yet, allow the setting to change based on the extension of the open file. Just a thought.

Oh, as a long time User of Win32Pad I was just about to ask for that. It would be fantastic having Unicode support. I'm looking forward this next release.
While I'm about to write, I've to annoyances that would be great to disappear.
1. If the document loaded is scrolled to somewhere and I drag another file over the applications window (to drop it elsewhere on the desktop or another app), the document jumps to the top when leaving the windows with the dragging mouse cursor.
2. Mousewheel scrolling is always a soft scrolling that will consume much time, is there any way to disable this and get a "hard" scroll like in any other app?
Thanks,
Jürgen

how about this?
* show whitespace, tabs and line endings
(like seen in scite, notepad2)
* an option to associate win32pad with the most common text formats, txt, ini, nfo...
(like seen in winrar, acdsee)
and please, re-enable this:
Win32Pad uses win32pad.ini file to store it's settings. (This file is now stored in the same directory where Win32Pad is installed)
always moving the ini from from Application Data... into the Win32pad dir is a pain
screw xp compliancy

In the box that opens when I click "save as..." the file type defaults to "html...". Is there a way to have it default to "all files"?

It would be great for Win32Pad to support multiple documents opened in a window.
Thanks a lot.

Ahoi,
the "Delete Line" function avalible from the "Edit" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-Y" doesn't only delete the line, it cut out the line.
What does that matter? Maybe you have this text:
1 bla
2 Gennady is a smart guy!
3 bla
4 Who is a smart guy?
5 President Bush is a smart guy!
6 bla
If you read it you like to paste "Gennady is a smart guy!" on the right line. So you copy (or cut) line 2. Before you insert it you delete the wrong statement in line 6 with the "Delete Line" function. Afterwards you like to insert the text you've copied before. But what happens?! The stupid guy is still the smart guy!
Oke, it's a daffy example but it should be easy to realize that it would be a real problem if you like to insert a copied phrase into a long programcode. By scrolling down you find a line that should be deleted and you do this.
Than this line would be in your clipboard but not the text you thought!
So I would classify this as a not wanted feature. Maybe it would be even more a bug? brrr :)
Can you confirm this issue?
Thank you for your great program and viel Freude

Yes please. Just a simple .reg would be enough for now.

Oh yes, this would be a big ease for all the guys they are working on many PCs and/or with many accounts!
Maybe the method of the programmer of "Beyond Compare" is a solution you like:
If the "beyondcompare.exe" find a "beyondcompare.ini" in the same directory it will use this ini-file. Otherwise it use the registry. Or in case of Win32Pad the one in %APPDATA%.
Cheers, Bernhard
Update: Now I've seen that you did the ini-handling since V1.5.8 like I proposed it. Thank you for reading my mind!

Hey there, I have a strange bug in the UNIX text format. Occasionally it will save a ^K randomly in the text file, which I'm not quite sure is all about. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but Firefox views that and turns it into a weird character. I just thought I'd report that incase it was a potential bug.

I don't typically use the File Format menu item - generally leave formats as they were initially, but if I force a ^K into a file (using VIM), then open that file using win32pad, I do not see any "physical" representation of the ^K "character", other then what appears to be a new line.
Further, the ^K seems to be wiped out - at some point, after alternating back & forth between editors & file format types.

Ahh, sorry, I should clarify.
Sometimes when I save in unix format win32pad SAVES with the strange ^K. It doesn't show the "^K" in the win32pad, but it shows it in vi. Also, Mozilla Firefox sees it and puts out a strange character.
