Just a few examples:
1. In the Help’s Index enter “Associate” (without the quotes). Then double click on “associate” or “Associate with EmEditor”. Then select one of the entries and click “Display”. The error message is displayed.
2. Enter Auto Save into the Index Search box. Then double click “auto save” or “Auto Save”. Same error message.
3. Enter “Backup”. Double click “Backup”. Help text is displayed with *no* error.

Obviously I haven’t been all the way through the Help topics but it seems the error arises at random – at least I can’t see a pattern but I guesstimate that *approximately* 50\% of the topics generate the error.

I am sure these topics don’t exist in the EmEditor Free Help because these features aren’t available in EmEditor Free. Please download and use EmEditor Professional to use these features. Thank you for clarifying thse issues.

I saw “Unblock” button on Windows XP, but it may not be the reason in your case. I don’t know why you have this issue. This issue is common if you download the program or Help file from Internet or Email. If you have not tried yet, please install using the original installer downloaded from trusted sites. I also recommend you to try the latest version of EmEditor Professional (currently version 8) since it has so many new features and it runs much faster than previous versions.

Hi,

Version 8.00 Open Time: 5 Sec
Version 8.01 Open Time: 15 Sec
Version 8.00 Close Time: 2 Sec
Version 8.01 Close Time: 8 Sec

*All Setting Is Same.

*I See When Open And Close 8.01 Emeditor, Pendriver Light Blinking Many, May Emedtor Do More ‘Actions’.Other version is Normal.
*I used Other Pendriver Test, Also Same.

Please Test And Fix. As Soon As…

Thanks

I tested both v8.00 and v8.01 in portable device (USB memory, but not Corsair GT). Their opening times are almost the same.

The initial start is always longer than the second time because it needs to save the initial settings to INI files.
Here are my test results:

v8.00
First start: 36.7 seconds.
Second start: 3.8 seconds

v8.01
First start: 37.3 seconds.
Second start: 3.8 seconds

Did you try the default settings (meaning just copy from the Zip files, and then measure the second launch time)?

I’m using the free EmEditor 6.00.4 on Win XP Pro SP3. Sometimes, when I click Help and choose a topic I get the Help text. Other times I get an error message:
==== begin error message ===
This program cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

=== end error message ====

I always get the same result for the same topic; in other words Help is always available for some topics and never available for others.

Whay is happening, please?

EmEditor Free is not supported but I will answer to this question because this is a common question.
In Explorer of Windows, if you display the Properties of the Help file (emeditor.chm) in the EmEditor installed folder, you should see Unclock button. Press this button.

I’m using version 6 of emeditor.

I understand there’s a backup feature that I can use. When I select backup (Properties for current configuration > Backup) and select “Save backups to backup folder” and “Rename if same file name exists”, I’d like to know the frequency of backup, that is, how often or when is the backup done.

So far I can’t find any particular pattern when backup is saved to the folder. Sometimes when I change tabs, the file is saved (and renamed) to the folder, but sometimes this is NOT happening.

I’ve searched the FAQ and help and so on, but I can’t find an answer to this very basic question. All they do is tell me what the buttons do, without telling me the more important info: under what circumstances are new backups created.

Could you please enlighten me emeditor’s approach to doing auto backup?

Thanks.

I think you are looking for Auto Save tab intead of Backup. By the way, I don’t know why you are still using Version 6 of EmEditor. The upgrades to Version 8 are free for all EmEditor Professional users!

You can use #include directive, but it must be specified at the first lines of the script above the main code.

When I search for a lower case or uppercase letter after a quote, I do not find what I expect with the following two regular expressions
“[a-z] or “l

If the file contains the single line “Regular” and I use either of the above two regex, the find command will highlight “R, which it should not. Am I doing something wrong in the regex, or is this a bug in the regex engine?

Matthew

I guess you will have to check “Match Case” check box before you earch for [a-z] or l.

Okay, please don’t hate me for asking this if it has already, I truly did use the search here, and even googled this site and couldn’t find the answer.

So I made a new custom configuration for a new customized programming language with a custom extension “JPR”. In said custom configuration, I set the default extension to “JPR”. The problem is that when I open the files in EmEditor, the default configuration switches to “text”, and I have to switch it to JPR configuration manually every time.. How can I have it switch to my custom JPR configuration when I open the files automatically like it does for PHP, Perl, Javascript, etc scripts do?

I have the trial/evaluation edition of 8.1.

That is no problem. Open the JPR configuration properties, and select Association tab, and then make sure JPR is in the list of the Associated Extensions. I hope this helps.

Hi,

Since I upgraded to ver 8.0, the “Customize” pop up is displayed each time I start EmEditor.
Don’t know if this is a bug but what can I do to disable this?
Thanks for your help.

Henri

You are using an old language pack. Please switch to English user interface (in the Customize dialog > Language tab) untill the new version of language pack becomes available.

I am looking for the word “TEST”, but not if there is ** in front of it. Between ** and TEST may be spaces.

This is for our programming language where ** marks a comment.
So I am looking for TEST which is not commented out.

I will address this issue. Thanks!

Hi,

Open a new document and paste these three lines:

Now goto start of the document and open find dialog with this regex:
(?<!**) *TEST

There are three parts marked in green, but the last line is never selected when pressing “find down” multiple times.

I reproduced your issue, but this expression is confusing. Can you explain what you are really searching for? Is it possible to show me a simpler example? Thank you.

Bigger multiline text input area for Find dialogs like in UltraEdit so you can see long search strings at once.

You can drag and drop the right bottom corner of the Find or Replace dialog box to enlarge the dialog box.

Vim has the nice feature that you can scroll through using the N and P keys. Is it possible to do this or something similar with the autocomplete plugin, so the user does not have to use the arrow keys to iterate through the items?

AutoComplete plug-in or WordComplete plug-in?
AutoComplete plug-in doesn’t contain a list box you can scroll up and down. WordComplete contains a list box, but you can’t customize the keys to scroll since this is a standard Windows control. You can, however, customize other commands such as “Show Candidates Manually” and “Complete” in the Keyboard tab of the plug-in properties.

Sure, is there already an Explorer plug-in? Seems no in this page http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=4 .

I hope some guru can do it for us soon.

Explorer plug-in is included in the default install of EmEditor Professional. You should find Explorer in the Plug-ins toolbar and in the Plug-ins sub menu on the Tools menu.

As we all know, if you right click on a file or folder in explorer, a “context menu” appears. Many Windows software add context menu item to it(such as Winzip, WinRAR, TortoiseSVN etc, of course EmEditor itself as well).

So, I hope I can quickly access that explorer context menu when I’m editing a file in EmEditor without bringing up a explorer window. For example, right click anywhere on the document, EmEditor popup its context menu with an extra menu item “show explorer context menu” so that we can access it.

(Sorry for posting in this “bug report” section — a casual mistake.)

It is not possible to customize the list of URL hyperlinks at current version. What prefixes do you want to add?

Topic. Thanks

You will need to change in Control Panel > Regional and Language Options. If you don’t want to change the settings in Regional and Language Options but still want to change the format in EmEditor, you might want to use a macro to insert Time/Date in your favorite format.

1>Strongly suggest that emeditor can recongize the different sections in HTML code.
Like :
….. is a Css sectin
… is a Javascript section.
The section could apply the corresponding configuration(Css section meet the Css document type).
Gengerally speaking, a single document can match multi-configurations, which section applied configuration could use the configuration’s font color, hightlight, keyboards … etc. Then it will be huge productivity improvement in web developing.(Actually editplus done well in this feature, also it’s autocomplete function works perfect in multi-type of document/section)

2> Live Template function is needed as well.
I’m using autocomplete plugin, it very simple but acceptable. When I change autocomplete library between different type of document, the process will be painful…
Live Template function is very popular in Ecllipse(template), Visual studio(snippet), Netbeans(template), IntelliJ(live template), Editplus(autocomplete) and easy to use and share.
Live Template will significant improving coding productivity, which save us a lot of time in dumb code.

3> Can snippets be titled? It’s hard to recognize the snippets in the side bar, and what mean of it.

Thanks!

1) EmEditor does recognize different sections in HTML code. See screenshots:
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/feature1/rewrite/tc_4.html

2) You can copy autocomplete.dll to a different name, and use both plug-ins. For instance, you can place both autocompleteHTML.dll and autocompletePHP.dll and check “HTML” in the plug-in properties for autocompleteHTML, and check “PHP” in the plug-in properties for autocompletePHP.

3) I am not sure what you mean by “titled”. You can change the location of the Snippets bar. Go to the plug-in properties of the Snippets plug-in, and change the custom bar position.

Hi,

I posted this bug some weeks ago while EmEditor was still in beta, but you said that you cannot reproduce it. Now I know why!

Please do the following:
– Be sure to have at least one jsee-File in “Macros/ Customize”
– Right click on a toolbar
– select “Customize Toolbars”
– Click “New”
– Add one or more jsee-macro files to the new toolbar.

When you are in registry mode, all works fine.
But when you are in portable ini mode, jsee files cannot be added to a toolbar.

I tested it with 8.00 final.

Oliver

I follows your instruction, but I am sorry to say that I still cannot reproduce your issue. I hope it is not a big issue…

For example, my system language is English (US) now, and I want to open a Japanese encoded text.
I double clicked the text file and:
7.02 and below would display “Some characters cannot be converted using the specified encoding. The file will be corrupted if you continue editing and save the file.”. Then “OK” to continue or “Cancel”.
8.00 would “flash” (may be this was the notify?). And then nothing happened.

I tried Japanese (Shift-JIS) text in both 7.02 and 8.00 using English (US) Windows, but in both cases, the warning does not appear. In this case, opening Shift-JIS text as Western European and Save as Western European does not corrupt the Japanese text. That is why the warning was not necessary. Opening an European text in Japanese Windows can show the warning because that process can corrupt the original text.

We have older versions available in our Download page http://www.emeditor.com/modules/download2/rewrite/tc_3.html , and you can download Version 7 portable version and test if you doubt any features. Please let me know if you still have any questions. Thank you!

I am sorry to say that performing the steps you detail above still has not solved the issue.

It has the ffect of removing the item from the context menu and then adding in to the context menu again but still when I click on the item in the context menu nothing happens.

I do have other items on my Windows context menu that work OK – for example a free text editor I used before finding emeditor called pspad.

Alternatively, you can try this:

1. Make sure you removed the original EmEditor menu item by going to EmEditor > Customize > Shortcuts > More Shortcuts.

2. Run regedit.exe.

3. Add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEmEditor key.

4. Add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEmEditorcommand key.

5. Set the default value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellEmEditorcommand as “”C:Program FilesEmEditoremeditor.exe” “\%1″”

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your response.

I have tried restarting windows, I have tried running the installer again to “repair the installation”, I have tried to completely uninstall and re-install with various reboot involved and still no joy.

I have went to the configuration option you mention, switched it off, found the item was not in the context menu any more, switched it back on and found the item was now on the context menu but found it still doesn’t work.

I do realise this is probably something to do with a setting I have in Windows XP but is there anything else that can be investigated (windows registry setting, perhaps)?

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for your updates. I tried on Windows XP and there was no problem. Try this:

1. Open Command Prompt (Run cmd.exe).

2. Go to EmEditor install folder (usually C:Program FilesEmEditor).

3. Type regsvr32 /u emedshl.dll. This should remove “EmEditor” item from the Explorer Context Menu.

4. Type regsvr32 emedshl.dll. This should add “EmEditor” item to the Explorer Context Menu.

I hope this works.
