Download EditPad Lite 6.3.0

JGsoft has updated its free text editor EditPad Lite to version 6.3.0. This program is not intended for programmers, for that it is better to use EditPad Pro or Notepad++, but is more of a replacement for the Notepad supplied with Windows. The advantages of EditPad Lite over Notepad include the ability to have an unlimited number of files open on the same screen, no limit on the size of the open file, and an unlimited number of undos and redos. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

New features:

• Preferences, Editor: Option to focus the main editor when a search match is found.

Improvements:

• EditPad Lite 6 now leaves two pixels of space between the left edge of the editor and the actual text, like EditPad Lite 5 used to do.
• Encoding: Detect encoding based on the HTML Content-Type meta tag.
• Read only: If a file is opened as read only because its read only attribute is set, and you turn off the read only mode in EditPad, and you save the file with File|Save, EditPad will automatically clear the read only attribute instead of showing an error.
• Read only: When checking if a file needs to be reloaded from disk, EditPad will now also check the status of the read only attribute, and toggle the status of the file in EditPad accordingly if it wasn’t modified in EditPad.
• Show a friendly error message when opening a file larger than 2GB instead of crashing.
• Window caption and taskbar button now indicate with a * if the active file is modified.

Bug fixes:

• Double-clicking on a file in Windows Explorer did not restore EditPad if it was minimized with the taskbar button still visible (version 6.2.2 only).
• Files with the read only attribute set are now properly swapped out to disk if they’re larger than the “huge files” setting.
