Glitch 1:
If the macro is one of macros defined in the “My Macros” list in EmEditor, this warning will not be displayed. So before you run this first time, please select this macro to be included in the My Macros list.

Glitch 2:
Instead of using Close All command, you might want to use Close command using:

document.close;

You might want to select Solution – New.

I can run a macro on a file from the command line; but then, I’d like EmEditor to save and close down. Then I could put that line into a batch file with other commands and the user wouldn’t have to close EMEditor. Maybe there is a macro command to close EM?

Please try this:

	editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4119);

Does this make sense now?

It makes sense now, but the current design doesn’t allow a portion of collapsed range to appear. So, it isn’t possible to show only commented lines while all the outside block collapsed.

I am using Open Documents plugin and want to make quick jump to any opened window.
Can I do that?

I have very many opened documents, using mouse click for this purpose is very diffucult.

You might want to assign a keyboard shortcut for the Left Custom Bar from the Keymap on the Help Menu. Once the focus is in the Open Documents plug-in bar, you can use Down arrow key to selec t a file to activate.

no feedback :-(

I keep reading the forums, but I want to have someone else to answer these questions. :-) The next version (v9) will improve the Snippets plug-in, where you can find or define many kinds of snippets. You can download the alpha version now.

I’ve been using EMEDITOR for years, but all of the sudden when I do a find, the text box to enter the find criteria is disabled.

I had 8.04 and upgraded to 8.05 and still have the same issue. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall or is there an easier way to fix this?

Thanks, Dave

I believe that you accidentally resized the Find dialog box. The Find/Replace dialog box allows resizing by dragging the right bottom corner with the mouse. Please drag the right-botto corner to resize so you can see the text box. In the future version (v9), you will need to press a certain button to switch between single-line text box and multi-line text box so you will not be confused any more.

Hello, friends

I have used this software for a while and I must say that it is nice and help me a lot in coding as an web designer! :-)
I have 2 questions here:
1. How could I setup emeditor to auto detect files’ encoding and thus open as is
2. Would this software support RTF format for I would like to color some texts sometimes.

Thanks,

When you open a file, select Open in the File menu, and in the Open dialog, check “Detect All” (or in the File tab of configuration properties, check “Detect All”). You will see a dialog box to select the correct encoding if multiple encodings are detected. For more information, please see our tutorial http://www.emeditor.com/modules/tutorials4/index.php?id=11

EmEditor does not support RTF format.

thanx for reply, but i dont find “Symblo List” in the commands list. Which category ?

There is no category. I think you are looking at Configuraiton Properties. Instead, you should right-click on the Project custom bar, select Tools sub-menu, and then select “Properties for Current Solution Template”.

I am dot net developer. For C# I am using VS.NET + Resharper.
I am trying trial EmEditor for programming.
The editor is good, but I dont understand how can I find any data info in the Symbol List.
I opened my c# solution (.sln) and saw symbols in the right pane. For what reason? Without quick search that feature IMO is not necessary.

Maybe I am wrong ..
What about search???
In the Resharper I can type:
Ctrl + T for quick access to the symbols
Ctrl + Shift + T – for quick access to the files in my project
Alt + – for quic access to the current file symbols.

And that resharper’s feauture is amazing !!! How I can reach this functionality in EmEditor? thanx.

If you want to customize keyboard shortucts, you can select Properties for Current Solution Template, and select Keyboard tab.
Then you can customize keyboard for “Symbol List”, but not for all commands you specify above.

Is there any way to configure EmEditor to recognise a comment that starts with a specific character in the first position on a line and then continues to a specific end character?

In my case a comment always starts with a ‘C’ in column 1 and end with the next ‘$’ character and can be on a single line or multiple lines.

If I use a ‘C’ in the Highlight (2) dialog it will also trigger on a ‘C’ that lies in the middle of a line.

You can use a regular expression “^C” and check “Regular Expression” for the item you want to highlight. However, you cannot highlight multiple line comment in this way.

I am using Emeditor professional 8.05

I think you may misunderstand my words.

I created a text file, let’s call it [1.txt]
And then create a shortcut for the file, let calll the shortcut [1.lnk]

Then, I right click on [1.lnk], and see [emeditor] on context menu. Then I select [emeditor] in context menu.
Actual result: nothing happens.
expected result: launching emeditor and open [1.txt]

I understand your question, but I cannot reproduce your problem whether the file is shortcut or not. I tested on XP SP2 with EmEditor 8.05. Did you create “emeditor” context menu by yourself (by editing the Registry)? If so, remove that item, and you should use EmEditor to make that context menu item.

When open file from context menu, sometimes emeditor cannot detect the encoding and I have to select encoding from list. The list of encodings do not have UTF-16.

In alpha 27, UTF-16 will be added to this list. Thanks!

i’m writing some perl scripts to convert old sgml in western format to xml files in utf-8 format

some of my perl scripts need to be in western so that when i open the western encoded file, i can do search and replace on characters.
for example fancy quotes
i’ll convert those quotes to something like ’ or ”

some of my perl scripts need to have utf-8 characters in the scripts and then i’ll search and replace ” with the actual fancy quotes.

my problem is that if i open a pl file that is western encoded and then edit and save it, it saves it as utf-8

i’d like for the program to leave the file encoding alone so that some pl files stay western and some stay utf-8

is there a way to do that?

In the Configuration Properties, go to the File tab, click the Saving button, and in the Save Details dialog box, please make sure “Configured Encoding” is selected in the Encoding drop-down list. Then EmEditor should save a file with the same encoding as it opens.

I wish emeditor would be launched and open that text file.

I am running vista with SP2.

Which version of EmEditor are you using?

In the Customize More Shortcuts dialog box, can you uncheck “Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer” check box, click OK, and bring back this dialog to check “Add a shortcut to the Context Menu on Explorer” check box again and click OK? This dialog box can be accessed from the Customize dialog, Shortcut tab, click More Shortcuts button.

EE leaves previous line highlighted with the backgorund highlight color defined for the Current Line while I do moving the cursor up/down with Up/Dn arrow keys.

In my example the orange is the background color for the Current Line, not the selection.

This will be fixed in alpha 25. Thanks!

For me too.
The part of the screen where the file ends turned white, even though my theme is dark. I also don’t see the use of this new ‘lock’ feature.
I’m unsubscribing from the notifications on the beta thread as I don’t use emeditor much. Good luck, and thanks!

EDIT: sorry, this was supposed to be a post on the beta 24 thread, not a new thread.
I don’t see a way to delete a thread…

Before trying the narrowing command, please make sure the Outside of regions background color is different from the General background color.

The color problem may be fixed in alpha 25. Please let me know if the problem still exists in alpha 25. Thanks!

It seems like when you have two commented lines together it still gets collapsed. sample code below.

OK. I completely misunderstood your request. Can you please describe exactly what you want EmEditor to do?

Version: EmEditor Professional 8.05

OS: Win XP Pro 32-bit

Key Hardware: two monitors, Radeon X300 video card

Bug Description: When using two monitors, when EmEditor is maximized in the second monitor, lines of text are not updated correctly. Characters go missing. Doing anything that causes that particular line of text to be redrawn (such as moving the cursor to that line) causes the missing characters to appear. Doing anything that causes the whole window to be redrawn at once (such as scrolling) causes the characters to disappear again. This does not happen on the primary monitor. This does not happen when EmEditor is not maximized.

Workaround: Instead of maximizing EmEditor on the second monitor, position and stretch the window to fill the entire screen.

I use two monitors all the time, but I never have problems. I currently use Windows Vista (64-bit), but I also used Windows XP (32-bit). I would try another kind of video card.

Hi folks,

I do a lot of programming for old-style systems, and as such, it’s generally easiest if I try to keep my lines of code to 80 characters or less.

I’d like to put a margin guide, such as a light grey line or some such thing at column 80 in EmEditor. Is there a way to turn on such a right margin guide? I’ve been looking, and can’t find one. If there’s not such a thing, can I suggest it as a feature request?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You might want to change the background color of the “Outside of regions” in the Display tab of configuration properties.

I need to do a custom outline for SystemVerilog. In this language, a collapsed line should be, for example, begin/end or class/endclass. Is it possible to not select words that have been commented out? I noticed for built in configurations like C++, the “{“ that are commented out do not get collapsed, which is what I am looking for.

Thanks

In EmEditor v9 alpha, the Outline plug-in was modified to ignore commented lines. You might want to try that new alpha version.
