A dialog box will appear when file associations are migrated during the install.

Fixed the bug where EmEditor could freeze when trying to search during opening a very large file.
Fixed the bug in highlighting after comment/uncomment.

Please see EmEditor v15.1 New Features for details.

To update, you can select Check for Updates on the Help, or you can go to the download page to download the newest version.

Important: The digital signature of the installer was renewed. For this reason, after you download, there might be a message, “… is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer.” When you try to run the installer, there might be a message, “Windows protected your PC. Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.”, but clicking the “More info”, and click the “Run anyway” will install the program. This is due to our new digital certificate, which is not registered in the Microsoft database. It is safe to install, and there is no harm to your PC. We anticipate that the warning message will go away once this distribution is widespread.

This version is available free if you have a lifetime license or if your maintenance plan is valid as of June 10, 2015. Your registration keys might be found in the Emurasoft Customer Center. The registration key for v15 is the same as the key for v14.

Possible Path environment variable corruption by EmEditor v15.1.1

May 18, 2015/in General/by Yutaka Emura

If you have installed EmEditor v15.1.1 as the entire machine install (Selecting “Everybody (all users)” in the Installation Type during the install), and if the system “Path” environment variable is 1,000 characters long or longer, the system “Path” variable might have become corrupted (or erased) during the install.

The problem could happen only if you use the v15.1.1 installer, and NOT by any other versions of installers. The problem could happen only if your Path environment is longer than 1,000 character long.

To check your “Path” variable, please go to Control Panel, System Properties, Advanced system settings, click the Environment Variables button, and scroll down the System variables list box to find the “Path” variable. The “Path” variable should contain several application paths combined with semicolons (;). In the Registry, the “Path” variable is stored at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

If this variable contains only the EmEditor path (C:\Program Files\EmEditor), the “Path” variable has been corrupted, and the installer erased the previous “Path” variable.

If this happens to your system, your original Path variable can be found at one of the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
   \ControlSet001
   \ControlSet002
   \Clone

If you find a good “Path” variable, you can copy and paste to the current “Path” variable.

If you still can’t find the old good original path, the following article might be able to help you.

http://superuser.com/questions/265532/how-to-extract-environment-variables-from-system-restore-point-windows-7-64-bit

The new installer of EmEditor (v15.1.2) has fixed the bug, but once you install v15.1.1, installing v15.1.2 alone will not help you fix the Path variable.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences if this has affected your system.

Thank you for using EmEditor!

EmEditor v15.1.0 released!

May 11, 2015/in EmEditor Core/by Yutaka Emura

Today, we are releasing EmEditor v15.1.0.

Updates from v15.0.2 include:

New General Features

Greatly improved the execution speed of Find, Replace All, Filter, Undo Replace All, and Select All Occurrences commands. When dealing with large files (more than 10,000 lines), these commands run as multi-threads.
EmEditor can be customized to show the execution time for many tasks.
Added the Extract Columns command, which allows you to extract specified columns in the CSV document and create a new document.
When search is made, the status bar shows clear separation between matched occurrences and matched lines after search (there might be more than one occurrences in a single line).
Find in Files now allows you to ignore binary files.
Allows you to perform a per-user install. A per-user install will not display User Account Control (UAC) prompts on Windows 7 or later. The per-user install is possible by selecting the Only for me radio button on the Installation Type dialog during the install. If a quiet install is made inside the Command Prompt, add the “MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1” option. The Installation Type cannot be changed during updates.
.eeWorkspace files are now associated with EmEditor. Double-clicking .eeWorkspace files can now restore the workspace with EmEditor.
All the shortcut settings can be changed now even in the per-user install.
The Associate with EmEditor dialog box can be accessed without administrative privileges now.
The text editor is now horizontally scrolled when necessary when a user selects a column in the Column drop-down list on the Filter toolbar so that the specified column will become visible.
A context menu now appears when each item in the status bar is right-clicked, and selecting the Copy will copy the contents to the Clipboard.

New Options

The Extract Columns dialog box was added.
The Show Execution Time check box was added to the Status tab of the Customize dialog box.
The Ignore Binary Files and the Show Ignored Files in Results check boxes in the Advanced dialog box.
The Display a tray icon when EmEditor launches check box was added to the Shortcut tab of the Customize dialog box.
All the contents in the Customize More Shortcuts dialog box were moved to the Shortcut tab of the Customize dialog box.
In the Header and footer page of the Split Current Document into Several Files wizard, the Header [>] menu now contains $(FirstLine), which allows you to insert the first line of the document as the header.
The Number of Threads drop-down list box was added to the Advanced tab of the Customize dialog box.

New Commands

Extract Columns
Select CSV Column with Headings

Bug Fixes

Fixed the bug related to Korean IME in the Filter Bar.
Fixed the bug where EmEditor might have crashed when opening a very large file while the Outline Guide is enabled.
Fixed the bug where EmEditor might have crashed when trying to open the Find in Files dialog while the Find dialog is opened.

Please see EmEditor v15.1 New Features for details.

To update, you can select Check for Updates on the Help, or you can go to the download page to download the newest version.
