Software update: EditPad Lite 8.2.4

Spread the love

JGsoft has released version 8.2.4 of the free text editor EditPad Lite. This program is not intended for programmers, who should use EditPad Pro, RJ TextEd or Notepad ++. This is more of a replacement for the Notepad included with Windows. Unlike Notepad, EditPad Lite can open an unlimited number of files in the same window, has no limit on the size of files to be opened, and the number of undos and redos is unlimited. EditPad Lite is free for private use, but companies can purchase a license if there is no need at all extras which the Pro version offers. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Improvement:

  • Search: Show an error message if a regular expression search failed due to a regex matching error such as infinite recursion, catastrophic backtracking, or an excessive number of group repetitions.

Bug fixes:

  • File Types | Colors: The companion palette choices that you assigned to custom palettes reverted to (none) when restarting EditPad.
  • Opening a set of files that includes a file and its working copy no longer opens the working copy twice.
  • Preferences | Keyboard: Search commands that are not available in EditPad Lite can no longer be assigned keyboard shortcuts.
  • Search: The replacement string tokens $ _, $ ‘and $’ that represent the subject string (the file being searched), the text before the match, and the text after the match, were not correctly substituted.
  • Status bar: Negative line numbers that are shown when the cursor is on a line in the bottom part of the file before the file has been fully scanned for line breaks were off by one and did not immediately change to a positive number when line break scanning was completed.
  • View | Dark Theme: When switching between themes switches the active file between companion palettes the Search and Replace boxes did not switch to the companion palette until you switched between files.
  • Windows 7 and later: EditPad’s JumpList (right-click menu of the taskbar button) is now maintained by Windows as it was for EditPad 8.1.2 and all previous versions; EditPad’s own handling of the JumpList that was introduced with EditPad 8.2.0 caused too many issues for too little benefit.
  • Word wrap now continues to leave a cursor’s width at the end of each line when you edit a line after switching between Insert and Overwrite mode switched between a cursor that goes between the characters and a cursor that goes on top of the characters to avoid text being wrapped differently in the two edit modes.
