3. Press Esc to close the menu -> submenu closes, but the main menu bar itself remains active and has “File” item highlighted. This is normal, standard behaviour.
4. Press Esc again to move focus away from menu and back to EmEditor main window -> the EmEditor closes the document instead!

So, there is almost no way one can return from the menu to text editing using only keyboard. Actually, I found two variants, but both are inconvenient (the first is to execute some menu command — e.g. Open…, and then press Esc to close the dialog; the second is to use Alt for exiting main menu — but after I press Alt the menu still remains active, though the highlighting disappears, and I have to press Alt one more time).

I will consider this in future versions. Thanks!

7.01 RC1 is not available any more. I wanted you to try 7.01 RC1 before 7.01 was released so that we can make sure 7.01 would not contain any bugs. I will think about your suggestions in future versions.

1. Open a file in the “System Default” encoding.
2. Save it to the “UTF-16 LE” encoding (Save As…)
3. Close it and open it again.
4. EmEditor reports “Null characters (00H) contained in the file will be replaced with spaces”.

I found it is because of missing Unicode BOM (byte order mark) at the beginning of the file. :-?
Meanwhile, if you create a new file and save it to the “UTF-16 LE” then Unicode BOM is appended.

When you save, you need to make sure “with Signature (BOM)” is selected. This selection is different in Windows Vista from XP/2000. Which OS are you using? If you are using XP/2000, there is a separate check box that you will need to check. In Windows Vista, the drop-down list box contains both “UTF-16LE with Signature” and “UTF-16LE without Signature”.

Why didn’t you try RC1?

Since installing EmEditor 7 and the EmEditor Sidebar Gadget (have since removed -because this behavior started after it was installed- but still get the error) on Vista (RTM and SP1), each time I attempt to install it tells me that ALL explorer processes must be closed.

If I force quit all explorer processes then the install works fine. If I don’t close all explorer.exe processes then I can not install.

Any suggestions?

I realize this warning appears, but you can safely ignore this prompt. The file emedshl.dll tries to register to Explorer, but this file does not need to be updated every time. So you can ignore this.

Thank you, this is very helpful.

For Each doc In editor.Documents

doc.UnicodeSignature = False
editor.ExecuteCommandByID 4107

But you have to activate each document first.

	For Each doc In editor.Documents

	    doc.Activate

	    doc.encoding = eeEncodingUTF8

	    doc.UnicodeSignature = False

	    editor.ExecuteCommandByID 4107

Hi,
I already put this request in the forum before also for Replacment options in all the opened Documents.
I put this request when editor was 7.005,
Now its 7.01 and still i cannot find that option implimented, can i see this option in the future versions.
Your Editor is anyways a Superb one!!!

Thanks in advance

Minor updates are usually bug fixes and do not contain feature enhancements. One of the reasons is that language pack should not need upgrades, and I don’t want to create more bugs in minor updates.

Your suggestion is probably implemented in the next major upgrade.

and another question (:

Can I somehow force “Symbol List” tab to use ctags file created by myself (or, may be, simply overwrite it’s ctags file by mine)?

The problem arised due to this: I have a big project (1000+ files), and it’s more useful to handle files using stand-alone file browser, but not project plugin.
But functionality of “symbol list” is awesome, and i would have been really glad to use this feature.

Or there is another solution, may be.
What would you recommend?

I will consider that (force to use existing ctags file) in future versions. Thanks!

what’s the value for LF Only (UNIX)?

You will need to use “Save Returns as LF only” command, so you will need to activate each document, and then use
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4107);

Now (i’m using 7.00.9) i can select file in projects plugin bar, and selected file will be highlighted. But when i switch to a tab with another file, my selection in projects plugin bar remains the same. I think, that current file must be selected there, and highlighted.

Also, i can’t see which of my projects files are opened, and which ‘re not.

Yutaka, can you implement these features?

Yes, I will consider that in future versions.

So, if I understand you right, this is a limitation of EmEditor, not of RegEx, because PCRE support the (?s) modifier.

Could this be changed in upcoming versions of EmEditor or will this slow down highlighting?

This will slow down highlighting, and will require more memory per line. That is why I just cannot implement it near future.

Hi,

I want to highlight an expression between and . Works fine of BEGIN and END tag is on the same line, but not if they are on diffferent lines. I tried the regex modifier (?s) which should include CR/LF into the dot operator, but had no success.

My regex:
(?s).+?

Any ideas how I can highlight it if BEGIN and END are not on the same line?

Thanks,
Oliver

This is the specification — regular expressions can highlight only in a single line.

Thanks for your explanation. In this case, inline comment is the same as line comment.

Hi,
I am evaluating the latest ver of EmEditor 7.0.0.9
I am running English WinXP+Sp3, non-unicode language is set to “Chinese PRC”

Question1:
How do I configure EmEditor such that it automatically open a text file under “English” encoding if the text file contains only English texts (no Chinese or other language character) and automatically open text file under a unicode encoding if a text file contains mix languages content?

Question2:
What is “Configured Encoding” under File->Saving->Encoding setup?

There is no “English” encoding, but there is Western European (iso-8859-1) encoding. You can check “Detect All” when you open a file, or check “Detect All” in the File tab of Configuration Properties. However, nothing is perfect to detect the correct encoding of files you open, so you might need to “Reload” with the correct encoding after you open files, by double-clicking the encoding in the status bar.

“Configured Encoding” is the encoding used to open the file. It should be labeled “Same Encoding”

Now Opera 9.5 was finally released, with all its advantages and disadvantages. One of the latter is complete removing file extensions from the cached files. :-( Now when I try to view source HTML code (of course, I’m using EmEditor, not Opera’s internal viewer), the file is opened just as Text, not as HTML, because the file is named something like opr000A3, and no extension at all. :-(

Unfortunately, Opera men seem to put it like the greatest super-convenient feature, though it is obviously not (at least, for me and for many other users complaining at that from the very first alphas), and they strongly refuse to return extensions back. Hence, my suggestion: what if EmEditor allowed special association rules, like e.g. “All files from the following folder are HTMLs”?

Just now I found that I knew very little about EE possibilities: I have just set /c HTML command line parameter for opening source code from Opera, and all this works fine! For the nth time I discover what a great program EE is! :-)

Anyway, extended association rules still may be very useful. For example, to set specific syntax for Makefile, or to README files (that are also without extensions and therefore cannot be distinguished from each other).

I am glad you figured out. Also, you can use “EMEDHTML.EXE”, which is equivalent to emeditor.exe /c HTML.

Hi All,

I know how to setup comment for the whole line. If I want a inline comment, how can I set it? Also, if I have more than 2 comments, how can I set it up?

I am tried to setup a configuration for SPICE file (a circuit simulation file). SPICE file has three types of commands.

* line comment
$ line comment
; inline comment, it can insert a line and comments everything after it.

How to set this up?

Thanks.

Can you give me more examples of the inline comment?

Currently, there is no way to setup more than two line comments in EmEditor.

EmEditor version: 7.00.9

When creating a new document, I often create a blank file in a certain folder and edit it in EmEditor.
With ‘Detect All’ enabled in the File tab of Properties dialog, EmEditor always opens a blank(0 byte) file as ‘UTF-16LE without Signature’.
I think it will be better if it follows the encoding settings of ‘New Files’ or there are separate encoding settings for blank files.

When the file size is zero, the encoding should be one specified in the “Opening Encoding” dropdown list in the File tab of the configuration Properties. I will fix that by the next minor version. Thanks!

If I remove the sign “#” (a line comment character in Perl) from the string, the highlighting returns to normal:

This is strange. I cannot reproduce your problem.
Can you try resettings all configurations or Perl configuration?

You can clear file history from the EmEditor main window, Customize, History tab, and then Clear History button.

Hi there,

I’ve recently started to use EmEditor and quite happy so far with it.
Its pretty cool that it can load very large files very quickly.
I have some suggestions here and was wondering if the following enhancements could be considered in the future.

1) Allow bookmarks to be customized. .
Users can set bookmark colors+icons and annotate each bookmark with some description or comments.
The bookmarks can then be probably saved into a separate file residing together with the original.
When the mouse hovers over the bookmarks, we can then see the description in the tool tip.

This feature is definitely not for the EmEditor core, and it has to be done by a plug-in. I might have to add new APIs to make this happen. Let me see if I can do that…

2) Allow copying of all the lines being bookmarked. .
This can probably open in a new tab like the find in files with the hyperlinks back to the original document.

You can write a macro to copy all lines with bookmarks.

3) Additional Find dialog feature
Allow Find dialog to search for all occurrence and open the list in a new tab like the find in files with the hyperlinks back to the original document.

You can use the Search plug-in (you can find it within the default install).

4) new macro object for Find in Files.
Allow access to the file in files method in macros.

Use editor.FindInFiles method.

5) Support for VB like syntax?
Begin-end statements collapsing and stuff.

You can customize the Outline plug-in for your situation.

Sorry if any of these is already in EmEditor.
Thanks and keep up the good work! :-D

You are welcome!
