Hi,
I’ve encountered this problem is both verision 7 and version 8 beta6
OS: Japanese Windows XP SP3 (possibly SP2 encountered as well? I did a recent OS upgrade but encountered this a few times.)

The search box does not show up after some time of use. (I can still search but need blind-typing…)
I need to re-install and clear personal settings to solve this problem.

I have installed the plugins that comes with emeditor and the 2 text sorting plugins too. I’m not sure will they affect it(?)

Which search box are you talking about? The search box you will get when you press CTRL + F? or search box in the Toolbar?

Hi,

I am using Emeditor7 and I am missing a simple “RightClick Menu + ReloadFile” file function. I know that EmEditor has an automatic detection for changed files, but I have to turn it of.

To reload a file I use “File -> Reload > Same Encoding”. I need it quite often, so it is kind of annoying. Another alternativ is to use a shortcut key like “F5”, which means a reload in most brosers.

If this possibility already exists, I would be very thankful for a hint. Keep up the good work… I am looking foreward to the large file controller in EE8!

How about double-clicking the Status Bar where you see the current encoding?

Also, you can customize the right-click menu (Context Menu) to however you would like. To customize menus, select Customize Menus on the Tools menu.

Please be more specific. Of course, I can see your previous posts. I want to make sure which posts you are referring to, and I want to know which bugs are not fixed yet. Some of the bugs have been already fixed. Thank you.

I believe the updated tabbed file enhancements were introduced around EmEditor 7. However, ever since this changed behavior, my editing experience has never been the same :(

In a nutshell, I really miss the original tabbing capabilities of EmEditor. The ability to simply CTRL + TAB to the next tab (chronologically) and CTRL + SHIFT + TAB to go back. That’s it. The sorting was simply chronological, based on the current “View” (or sorting) of the open tabs, no re-arrangement, etc.

While the new Tab arrangement features are nice to have, I have found myself constantly having to Work-Around this “feature”. It is very frustrating to want to jump one, or even three tabs ahead, but be limited from doing so and only being able to jump based on which was Last Active, by file type, or alphabetically, etc.

Auto-Arrange is the best attempt at curing this issue, however once a tab is activated, it is forced back to the beginning and can throw off the entire sequence. Argh! This is especially concerning when there are 10-20+ open tabs at one time :(

In short, if there is something I am missing, please let me know! How can I keep my own defined arrangement for my tabs (drag and drop re-ordered, etc) and be able to change tabs chronologically, as some of the best tabbed applications handle them: FireFox, iTerm, etc.

Is there anyway EmEditor 8 can feature a new “Arrange tabs by” option to reintroduce this missing tab behavior?

Thank you for such a wonderful editor, Emurasoft! +1 for Mac OS X port :)

I am not sure exacly what you need, but did you check “Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” in the Window tab of the Customize dialog box?

Why do you want to disable it? You don’t have to use it if you don’t need it.

Maybe, not exactly a bug, but definitely a problem. :-)

I opened a large file (SQL, 39 Mb, 130 lines). Then I performed a search for the regular expression:
(?<!)(\)*Z
and found one. Then I press Shift+F3 to find the last occurence, and EE hanged completely. It looks like it tries to find what I asked, but does not show the progess dialog, so I cannot interrupt the search. I waited for 5 minutes, but still no dialog appeared, and I had to terminate EE.

Besides, the backward search turned out to be extremely slow. For testing I tried to find a word “DROP“. Here is the part of the text from one of the lines of that SQL file:

const CS_DROPSHADOW = $00020000;
rnbegin
rn inherited;
rn { Disable drop shadow effect on Windows XP and later }
rn if (Win32Platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) and
rn ((Win32MajorVersion > 5) or
rn ((Win32MajorVersion = 5) and (Win32MinorVersion >= 1))) then
rn Params.WindowClass.Style := Params.WindowClass.Style and not CS_DROPSHADOW;

Here I highlighted the found occurences of “DROP”. I searched backward, so I found the second occurence. And when I pressed Shift+F3, it took EE 5 seconds to find the previous occurence, though it is less than 400 characters away!

I’m using EE 8.0b7 on WinXP SP3.

I understand this is an issue. I might fix that in future versions.

Yes, include the this value:

as nFlags parameter of FindInFiles Method (Editor Object). The constant (eeFindOutput) will be defined in the next beta of Version 8. Thanks!

You can use QueryStringByID Method to figure out which plug-in corresponds to which ID

Yes, thank you for this, but that was not actually the question. The question is not how to run any plugin, but the question was how to run any specific *command* inside of any specific plugin.

For example:

	        /// we know we can do this for any plugin ...

	        var idd  =  5637;                /// QueryStringByID found this for us

	        editor.ExecuteCommandByID(idd);  /// activate the "outline" plugin        

	        

	        /// but can you do *this* for any plugin ...

	        /*

	        var oPlugin =   editor.GetPluginByID(idd);  /// <-- how can you do this?

	        oPlugin.doCommand('CollapseAll');           /// <-- or this?

	        oPlugin.doCommand('ExpandAll');             /// <-- or this?

	        oAnyPlugin.doCommand('AnyCommandYouWant');  /// <-- or even this?

	        */

	

It is not possible, unfortunately.

PROBLEM:
I would like to be able to run all available plugin commands from an emeditor macro. The problem is, ExecuteCommandByID does not seem to know what all the ID numbers are for every single plugin action.

QUESTION:
Is ExecuteCommandByID capable of finding and running all of the commands that are defined in every plugin? If not, is there another way to tell a macro to run any arbitrary command from any arbitrary plugin?

Thanks for any help or info

You can use QueryStringByID Method to figure out which plug-in corresponds to which ID.

I altered it a little to (almost) match what we want to accomplish:

s = document.selection.Text;
if (!s) { document.selection.FindRepeat(eeFindRepeatNext); }
else {
document.selection.Find( s, eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp );
}

However, the “document.selection.Find” doesn’t replace the string used by “document.selection.FindRepeat”! This means, when I select text and run this macro, then click to erase the selected found text, and run the macro again, it doesn’t repeat the find on the recently selected text find, but finds the text from the last “Find”. How do I replace the last “Find” value?

Also, if the currently selected text is selected as a result of the find, I don’t want that to become the new find string, I want to continue with the original find string. how do I check to make a distinction between a manually selected string and a string selected by a find? (i.e. I want to repeat my search for the regex, not the next resulting found string from the regex)

Thanks!

I don’t think there is a good way to replace the last Find value.

You might want to claer “Use Word at Cursor in Find/Replace Dialog Box” in the Search tab of the Customize dialog box so the Find string will always become the last searched string.

We will have to wait how long?

In Version 7 or later, you can use “Transparent” color for the background color.

Go to the Display tab of congirutation properties, and select “Transparent” for the background color of highlight items. An easiest way is to select “EmEditor Standard” and customize from here.

I want to select text, hit one key, and find the next occurrence USING CURRENT FIND OPTIONS (e.g. “Use Regular Expressions”).

* Currently, Find Next Word does this EXCEPT for regular expressions. (i.e. “Match Case” is left checked/unchecked, but “Use Regular Expressions” gets unchecked by using Find Next Word).
* If Find Next Word isn’t the place to do this, then Next should have an option of switching the Find string to the currently selected text (if any selected) without requiring I open the Find… dialog box first. As it is, Next ignores the currently selected text and moves to the next occurrence of the last Find… string.

This will be a BIG time saver as ergonomics and editing speed / efficiency are a high priority. Thanks.

You are right. If you use the same option (Regular expression) always, how about using this macro:

	document.selection.SelectWord();

	s = document.selection.Text;

	document.selection.Find( s, eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp );

I realize this issue, but this is currently by design. When using proportional fonts, this behavior can happen. Make sure you use a fixed pitch font.

OK. it will be more natural in the next version.

[Yutaka Emura]

I fixed (1) Select Encoding dialog issue in beta 5.

(2) Overlapped control characters.
Check “Show Control Characters” in the Marks tab of Customize dialog box. One is on and the other is off. The character width is calculated according to rectangular box (when “Show Control Characters” is off). It is difficult to adjust this width and it is hard to explain here. Please use the settings when “Show Control Characters” is off.

Workspace bug, also in stable version 7.02:

– configure EmEditor to automatically save workspace when exiting EmEditor
– Open only one file
– Close EmEditor
– Restart EmEditor
– Previously opened file is reopened. So far, so good.
– Close EmEditor
– Delete or rename the one file of the workspace
– Try starting EmEditor from start menu

EmEditor complains about the missing file and refuses to open.

Only possibility to open EmEditor is to give an existing file name as argument.

Could you fix this please? It is very annoying.

Yes, in Version 8, there is a new command called “Erase Workspace”, but that was not enough. In the next beta, there will be a prompt message to ask you if you want to erase workspace in this case.

I think you may be right in thinking that the replace function has a particular problem with non-text items. For example, one search and replace that ran extremely slowly on a 5 Mb file and then locked the computer involved finding the tab and newline combination tn and replacing it with the pipe character |. The same operation ran almost instantly in NoteTab Pro, even though it involved over 20,000 replacements. It ran quite quickly in Boxer, but never concluded as the maximum line length was then exceeded. It also failed to finish in TextPad, causing the program to freeze.

You are right about it! I will try to optimize the speed in these conditions as well. Thanks!

Hi Yutaka.

Your advice looks as the right solutions, but have 1 issue…
If I write keyword, I press SPACE to complete word and selection from dialog. Aftewr this, keyword will change tu uppercase. Its fine, but I’m still on edn of the word. So I have tu pust one mor time space to move cursor about one char next… So, If I do this, aj write word and must pust 2 times space to continueing writing… this is only one “bug”… otherwise its look fine…

You are right. But I don’t think there are ways to work arund this now. I might think about adding this feature in future versions. Thanks!

Thanks for an hint, Stefan.

I am sorry the document is not clear. This portion was meant to show the syntax. More examples were needed.
Here is how you might want to accomplish your task:

	cfg = document.Config;

	cfg.General.WrapMode = eeWrapByWindow;

	cfg.Save();
