1. While Importing all personal settings from a Reg file, multi-toolbar seetings can not be retained, i.e. while backuped my previous Emeditor settings into a Reg file, which has more than one toolbar, importing this setting to a newly installed Emeditor only retain the appearance of the first toolbar, other toolbars I’ve customized previously just got disappeared, so I must recustomize them again. :-(

2. Exporting & Importing color schemes can not retain the extact font style, all font styles become “Normal”, i.e. while in a color scheme some keyword highlights or URL/Email links have set to be bold or italic or underlined, exporting it into a eetheme file then importing that to another Emeditor installation, all the bold or italic or underlined font style got disappeared. :-(

1. Thanks for reporting the bug. I have fixed it by the next minor versions. Meanwhile, you can double click the .REG file before lauching EmEditor to import the new settings.

2. I could not reproduce the problem. I think you will need to save the theme by selecting “Save” in the menu when you click “>” by the theme name so that, for instance, “EmEditor Classic (modified)” should be displayed as “EmEditor Classic”. Then if you click Export or Export All, the theme you have just modified and saved will be exported to a file. I know it is a little complicated and might need some improvement here.

It seems all Windows editors are pretty much equivalent to each other. EmEditor doesn’t really stand out from say Notepad2 or Programmer’s Notepad and those are free. I can mention probably mention a dozen more that do roughly the same thing.

What EmEditor needs:

1) Snippets a la TextMate, IntelliJ, Visual Studio.
2) Real column editing like Textmate, UltraEdit.
3) Ability to use a shell consoles like Textmate (Powershell would be nice).

I consider those features. Thanks!

About the only thing missing from EmEditor is a good table of Unicode characters. Can we get one of those, please? (The hidden-away advanced insert dialog is practically useless.)

It’s inconvenient for me to have UniPad open in another window just so I can use its Unicode table to copy-and-paste.

Thanks,

Garret

I will consider that as a plug-in. Thanks!

OK, this should be easier than it is.

My default encoding for new text files is coming up as “Western European”. How can I get this to default to UTF-8? (I had thought I did this already.) I’ve searched for about three minutes—too long!

Right! Thanks for reporting 79 characters bug. :-)

Since this is suggestion forum, I will not comment on every opinion, but here are some suggestions:

* Do not exit EmEditor when last document is closed.

Check “Do Not Close Last Document by Selecting Close Command” on the Window tab of the Customize dialog box.

* BUG: When editing the properties of the Hyperlink HTML buttons, where it says “Insert Tags” and “Begin:”, if you attempt to edit the text there (““) the text is TRUNCATED.

You have to scroll right to edit the whole text here.

* Option to disable use of the “Find Highlight” for the “Find Next” hotkey, while still having it enabled for the “Find” command that shows the Find window. So Find window shows the find highlight, but “find next” hotkey does not.

If you do not want to highlight found text at all, you can set “0” in the Search Colors in the Display tab of Configuration Properties.

Thanks for your comments. I am sure some of your inputs will be reflected in next major version.

Have you any plans to add Escaped Unicode as an additional Encoding format to Read from and Save to?

It would be very useful for Java applications in non english languages.

Thanks,

Have you tried Decode/Encode Unicode plug-ins? :

http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=4&lid=137

I understand it would be more useful if these conversions are integrated to the EmEditor core. I might consider those feature in future versions. Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

I will consider that in future. Thanks!

Oh, sure! I forgot to check “Add a Unicode Signature (BOM)”.

But this check box was unchecked by default. Could you change this behavior?
I think Unicode BOM should be used almost in all cases. Notepad does. ;-)

And why there is difference between Windows Vista and 2000/XP:
check box in 2000/XP and dropdown selection in Vista?

I think BOM is not generally used for UTF-8, and used for UTF-16. That’s why I should include with/without BOM in the Drop-down list for newer versions. Windows Vista uses the new styles for open/save, and there was not enough space for checkboxes, so I redesigned the way. I just did not want to make changes to the old styles.

[Yutaka Emura]

OK. No problem. Thanks!

1. Customized the Esc key for Close action.
2. Press Alt+F to open the File menu.
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”.

[Yutaka Emura]

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

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
Prashob

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.
