Two and a half years ago I obtained the academic/technical license for EmEditor as a software writer. Now I needed to find some details about this license, but could not find any information except the following page:

where it is said only

If you have already received an academic/technical license, you can still use that license as long as you keep it.

Does it mean that this license is subject to the usual license agreement (eula_e.rtf file in the EmEditor directory) with no additional restrictions (of course, except for that I may use it only as long as I remain software writer)?

Right. If you have further questions, please email me.

Hello,

Is it possible to develop EmEditor plugin in .NET?

It needs native programming.

I did some experimenting with the new OutputBar features, namely, outputting some text to it from macro. I discovered, that tag jumps actually work, if I use keyboard shortcut (F10). However, I don’t see any way how to enable the tag highlighting so that they could be clicked with mouse.

Actually, is the effect of the code below possible to do via normal menus and dialogs?
> document.HighlightTag = true;

I’d also like to see tags that jump not only to the specified line, but also to the specified column.

Actually, the Output bar does not highlight anything, so document.HighlightTag = true; macro code does not do anything for Output bar. You can use either F10 or double-clicking the respective line. The specified column is not possible at current version. It might be considered in future versions.

Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestion but it does not work like way i really want because i don’t want it to remember the last folder when it should always remember the ‘open default directory’.

‘Remember the last folder’ is inconvenience because it is always different.

In ultraedit32, it has ‘open default directory’ and ‘save default directory’ option and what it means is if you open a file from any location in your computer, it always points to your ‘open default directory’ or ‘save default directory’.

I hope you understand what i’m saying. It’s my suggestion. Thank you.

In EmEditor, I have not implemented the default directory option within EmEditor, because Windows has its ability to set the “current directory” for each process. Did you try the second method:

… Alternatively, display the Properties for the EmEditor shortcut that you usually use to run EmEditor, and add /cd in the Target text box. For instance, if the install folder of EmEditor is “C:Program FilesEmEditor”, enter “C:Program FilesEmEditoremeditor.exe” /cd. Moreover, fill the Start in text box as a folder you want to open from.

Hello
Would it be possible to have a search option that would:
# List Lines Containing String opens non-modal Find dialog
# Highlight all found occurrences of string
# Count number of occurrences of string

especially the first one as i have to search thru very big log files and i would like to search find and display all the lines that contain the given search word. That way i’m able to see things i need to see

thank you

# List Lines Containing String opens non-modal Find dialog
You can use “Find in Files”

# Highlight all found occurrences of string
By default, all found occurrences are highlighted.

# Count number of occurrences of string
For this one, you have to write a macro, or use “Replace” to replace all with a dummy string, and you can see the count in the status bar, and Undo.

I have a file that makes 7.0.0 go all wrong. It’s essentially an all-the-codes-of-Unicode list, and it seems to create some kind of resource shortage in Windows — dialogs and widges stop displaying, and so on. Notepad is OK.

I’ve temporarily uploaded a copy to http://pws.prserv.net/jwkennedy/utf-8.zip

I reproduced this problem, and I confirmed it was a bug in version 7. This was a special case because this file contains all Unicode characters. I will fix that by the next version.

To work around this problem, run RegEdit.exe, and add “UseUniscribe” value as DWORD in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Common

and UseUniscribe = 0

However, some characters might not be displayed if you use this work around.

Thank you!

Hello,

I just was playing with the new feature that allows to launch macros when some event has occured. I see how it works, but I feel I am missing something… As with events in typical programming environments, upon launching event handler, the code should have access to some Event object that keeps information about the type of event that has happened, and some extra info. For example, if I bind macro to a “Character inserted” event, I’d expect that the Macro is informed that it was triggered because that one or more characters were inserted, and also exactly what characters were insterted.

I am aware of need to implement more sophisticated event handlers like you wrote. Thanks!

I dont like the outline plugin since it is not convinience to users, but sometimes I’ve forced to use it when my code is too long to read. I wanna know why EmEditor cannot do this useful feature by itself? :-(

You can use Outline plug-in and uncheck “Turn off Outline Guide when Custom Bar is not displayed”.

Whenever I hit the [Home] key on a multi-line text (soft wrap), it always go the last position of the previous line, instead of going to the 1st position of the current line.

Would appreciate your clarification. Thanks,

Hi, all,
I want to add a new configuration to view .nfo files and I want to use OEM font category for this.
However, everytime I reopen nfo file, emeditor always revert to the default font category (not oem font category).
How to force emeditor to remember the font category for this configuration?
btw, what’s the relationship between ‘all configurations’ and ‘current configuration’ setting?
Does ‘current configuration’ override ‘all configurations”?
thanks in advance.

First you should create OEM encoding (from Define Encodings dialog box), and select OEM/DOS font as the Font Category for that encoding.
Create NFO configuration, select “OEM encoding” you created from the Opening Encoding in the File tab of the NFO configuration properties, and associate .nfo for that configuration. Then you should see OEM/DOS font will be selected when you open .nfo files. Which version of EmEditor are you using?

Both “Properties for All Configurations” and “Properties for Current Configuration” can override each other. Both are shortcuts if you select Properties for “Define Configurations” dialog box.

I didn’t notice it before, but now when I perform a mouse click in the area occupied with TAB charecter, the text cursor is alwasy set at the beginning of this TAB. With other characters there is no such problem – the cursor is set before the character when I click in the left half, and after the character if I click in the right half.

That is a specification – not changed from Versoin 6.

(there is a post about opening multiple files – is there any progress on this in the later versions?)

Did you check “Do Not Close Last Document by Selecting Close Command” check box in Customize dialog box – Window tab?

It’s easy.
1. Make a zip or 7z archive with 2 txt files (e.g., 1.txt, 2.txt).
2. Open the archive with 7-Zip.
3. Dbl Click 1.txt in 7-Zip, it’s opened by EmEditor.
4. DON’T close 1.txt, Dbl click 2.txt in 7-Zip.
Then EmEditor said system can’t find the specified path (tempdir7zXX.tmp2.txt), 2.txt can’t be opened.

I reproduce your problem, but that is not an EmEditor bug. When EmEditor promps a message “system can’t find the specified path”, in fact, there is no such a file in the specified folder. I don’t know why 7z does this, but the difference might be just a timing difference. Check “Do not share process between documents (disables tabs)” check box in the Advanced tab of the Customize dialog box.

Open or edit file with EmEditor in 7-Zip

When you open the first file in 7-Zip, it’s OK. But on the second file, EmEditor said system can’t find the specified path.
If you save settings in the registry, or you enabled tabs, there are no problems at all.

Maybe you should make more RCs… :-?

I am not sure, but you might want to try with /sp option in the command line. Please post or send me a simple test case so I might be able to reproduce the issue.

Yup! That’s a useful feature anyway, can you tell me what the keyboard shortcut is for “jump to matching bracket”.

However, I use EmEditor as my favorite editor for writing makefiles, and there are lots and lots of cases where brackets are inside double quotes. So, please give user a choice instead of dropping the old good feature. EmEditor has done a great job of providing options to various user preferences, so why not adhere to that good tradition.

See my complex makefile here: http://gnumakeuniproc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnumakeuniproc/GMU-main/trunk/GnumakeUniproc/GnumakeUniproc.mki?revision=413&view=markup

CTRL + ] to jump to the matching bracket.

If you can disable single/double quotation marks in the Highlight (2) tab of Properties, and then all matching brackets will be highlighted.

[Yutaka Emura]

I am sorry for misunderstanding. You should have first showed me your screenshots. ( ) inside single or double quotes do not work any more. This is the specification of the new version. Most people want to jump to matching bracket (in programs), and want to ignore those inside single or double quotes.

[Yutaka Emura]

I use Virtual PC 2007 for Windows 2000 environment. I press F11 and select “C++”, and then type “()”. Now “()” are highlighted. It seems all right to me. Do I need to type something else after “()”? If you installed any plug-ins, can you try uninstalling or disabling all extra plug-ins?

I want the highlight back please.

OK, I was able to install 6.004 Free version.

Before you do this, make sure you save backup of the whole Registry of your system!! To do that, run regedit.exe, and select the root folder and right-click, Export.

Then search for “EmEditor” in data under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall, and make a note of the key name, or copy to Notepad. The key name looks like {51371ACB-404F-471D-A669-D93BBC81F8B7}, but yours can be different. Delete that key, and also find the same key name in data and values in other places in the Registry, and if you find any, delete them also. I don’t guarantee this works, but you might want to try it.

Well, this is THE PROBLEM, –
EmEditor during the installation of a new version at certain point
somehow detects existence of the “old version”,
which it cannot remove simply because that old version is not installed anymore :)
BUT somewhere in registry there are some leftovers
which indicate that the old virsion still installed.
That is why I’d like to see utility to clenup registry after EmEditor unistalled.

I believe you should be able to select the old version from the Control Panel, and delete from the list. If this still does not work, I will search for a utility to instruct Windows just that when I have a time.

–I think that I isolated the problem #1.
When customizing the Macros menu, b41 doesn’t recognize the added macros until it’s restarted (if I immediately invoke them after customizing the menu, Em apparently ‘runs’ them but it only flickers a “Replacing” macro window, without touching the target text files. Closing and reopening Em is mandatory).
But all the subsequent betas and RC never recognize them (even after restarting, they always show the flickering window) :-(
I also tested the betas in a fresh XP install in MS Virtual PC (the official XP SP2 English from its site) with the same result.
Please, make sure that the VBEE support is enabled in the new releases.

–Confirmed: the new ISO codes are only working in manual Searches & Replaces, not in VBEE scripts (b41, since I can’t test them with the others). Please, let me write examples (with several fake Spanish words, only for testing):

editor.ReplaceInFiles “ó”, “o”, “*.txt”, eeFindReplaceOnlyWord Or eeFindReplaceCase, eeEncodingSystemDefault, “”, “”
editor.ReplaceInFiles “Ó”, “O”, “*.txt”, eeFindReplaceOnlyWord Or eeFindReplaceCase, eeEncodingSystemDefault, “”, “”

ORIGINAL: Comun, comun. Comunícate, nécomun.
FINAL: Común, común. Comúnícate, nécomún.

I also tried to change “eeEncodingSystemDefault” to others without luck (several ones don’t make replaces, “EncodingUTF8” erases not replaces).
Besides this, changing the last ones:

editor.ReplaceInFiles “(A|a)si”, “1sí”, “*.txt”, eeFindReplaceOnlyWord Or eeFindReplaceRegExp Or eeFindReplaceCase, eeEncodingSystemDefault, “”, “”
editor.ReplaceInFiles “(C|c)omun”, “1omún”, “*.txt”, eeFindReplaceOnlyWord Or eeFindReplaceRegExp Or eeFindReplaceCase, eeEncodingSystemDefault, “”, “”

ORIGINAL: Asi, asi. Asiático, Ñasi, Éasi. Comun, comun. Comunícate, nécomun.
FINAL: Así, así. Asiático, Ñasi, Éasi. Común, común. Comunícate, nécomun.

The expected behavior! :-o Very strange! (but this ‘solution’ isn’t applicable to other chases, as the first two ones).

Excuse me the long post, but I tried to be the clearer possible. I hope that you can test these issues and make the excellent Em even better! :-)
jugaor

What encodings are the original files were saved as? Are you sure these are saved as System Default Encoding?

Try

eeOpenDetectUnicode Or eeOpenDetectUTF8

in addition to eeFindReplaceOnlyWord Or eeFindReplaceCase in the nFlags parameter. This way should more resemble manual Replace in Files dialog box.
