Download EditPad Pro 6.1.2

JGsoft has not only updated its free text editor EditPad Lite, but its big brother EditPad Pro has also received that honor. Where EditPad Lite is intended as a replacement for Notepad, EditPad Pro is more intended for programmers. For example, there is a spell checker that takes syntax coloring into account, there is a hex editor, file compare, bookmarks and a built-in ftp client. A complete overview of the extra options compared to the Lite version can be found here this page are being found. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:

improvements:

• File Panel: Indicate files with unsaved changes in bold.
• File status: discard folded ranges if the file’s size has changed from what EditPad Pro remembered (ie the file was modified outside EditPad Pro).
• Macros: Ability to organize (and import) macros without having to record one first.
• Mouse wheel: If the scroll step is set to a very large number of lines in the Control Panel, automatically limit it to the number of lines visible in EditPad (ie one page).
• Preferences, Editor: The option to sound a beep on search failure will now also sound another beep if a match was found after looping automatically.
• Preferences, Files: Also reload the workspace when starting EditPad Pro by double-clicking a file in Windows Explorer, adding that file to the workspace just like if EditPad Pro was already running.
• Preferences, System: When keeping the registry clean, save the settings in an .ini file in a user-specific folder rather than the folder where EditPad is installed (except when EditPad is run from a USB stick).
• Spell checker no longer treats underscores as part of words, so words connected with underscores can be checked separately. Note that everywhere else, like double-clicking or Ctrl+Arrow, EditPad Pro still considers underscores as part of words.
• Tabs: Scroll all the visible tabs out of view when Ctrl+clicking the arrow buttons on the tabs.

bug fixes:

• Clip Collection: Shutting down AceText while the Clip Collection panel is visible in EditPad Pro now properly closes the Clip Collection panel.
• Configure Toolbar and Menus: When the gradient toolbar option is turned off, the icon of the button for the Options|File Types command is taken from the list of EditPad actions instead of the list of file type icons.
• Extra|Sort Alphabetically did not consistently sort lines that are identical except for differences in case.
• File Types, Clip Collection: The path to the clip collection was not adapted if EditPad Pro is run from a removable disk which may cause the drive letter to change.
• File|Save: EditPad Pro did not take into account the size of the backup copy when checking if there is enough free space to save the file.
• FTP: EditPad did not always use the correct login+server combination when connecting to the same server more than once.
• FTP: If a (UNIX/Linux) FTP server held two files which differ in name only by differences in upper case and lower case, EditPad Pro would display only one of the files in the FTP directory listing.
• FTP: The “modified” flag was not properly updated when undoing all changes after saving a file that was opened on an FTP server.
• Macros: Ctrl+Tab keystrokes to switch between files were not recorded.
• Mouse pointer did not snap to the default button when this option is turned on in the Control Panel.
• Rectangular blocks containing tabs paste with spaces instead of tabs. Note that if blocks with tabs are pasted at different column positions, the columns may not align in the same way depending on the tab stop positions.
• Search: The “selection only” option did not always work properly with rectangular selections (6.1.0 and 6.1.1).
• Syntax coloring schemes relying on zero-width regex matches like the Ruby scheme did not work properly in EditPad Pro 6.1.0 and 6.1.1.
