Manage Multiple Workspaces

The Open Workspace, Save Workspace, Save Workspace As, and Recent Workspace (multiple items) commands were added to let you manage multiple workspaces. By default, the Workspace popup menu was added to the File menu, and various workspace commands were added inside the popup menu.

Improved Filter Features

The new advanced filter allows you to specify a search range for the filter. It also allows you to specify a logical disjunction (logical OR) for multiple levels of the filter. If this is not specified, a logical conjunction (Logical AND) is used for multiple levels of the filter.

There are some changes in the Filter toolbar as well. You can now select previously used advanced filters from the history. The Bookmark All and Extract All buttons were also added to the Filter toolbar so that you can quickly mark or edit the filtered text.

To make your work as smooth as possible, the Filter command was added to the context menu displayed when you click on a marker on the Markers toolbar. In addition, clicking a marker while pressing CTRL now works as a filter. The default context menu now includes the Filter command, which allows you to use the selected text or the word at cursor as a filter. Furthermore, the Filter’s speed is imporved when a very large file is opened.

Split Current Document or a File into Several Files

The Split Current Document or a File into Several Files command allows you to specify not only the current document but also an existing file as the source file. This enhancement allows you to split a very large file larger than 248 GB.

Improved User Interface

To enhance the intuitive design of EmEditor, the new version has improved many dialog boxes. For example, when closing a document, the YES and NO button labels in the “Save Changes?” message box were changed to Save and Don’t Save, words that include the actual tasks.
