JGSoft, kort voor Just Great Software, heeft enkele dagen geleden versie 6.1.0 van EditPad Lite uitgebracht. Dit programma, wat het kleine en gratis broertje van EditPad Pro is, moet worden gezien een vervanger van het met Windows meegeleverde Notepad. De voordelen boven dat programma zijn onder andere de mogelijkheid tot het open hebben van een onbeperkt aantal bestanden in hetzelfde scherm, geen limiet op de grootte van het geopende bestand en een ongelimiteerd aantal undo's en redo's. Ideaal dus voor kleine taken, zoals het aanpassen van een ini-bestand. Mensen die een editor met meer mogelijkheden zoeken, bijvoorbeeld voor programmeerwerk, kunnen beter naar UltraEdit, PSPad of Notepad++ uitkijken. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
New feature:Improvements:
- File Types, Associations: Button to use the green EditPad icon for a particular file type
Bug fixes:
- Ctrl+Del at the end of a line now only deletes the line break and the next line's leading whitespace rather than all following non-word characters spanning any number of lines.
- Due to Windows XP font substitution, the size of a space is not always constant. This caused text to "jump around" when part of a line was selected and the cursor position to be off when fonts were being substituted. Font substitution occurs when the active font doesn't support the script the text is written in. E.g. opening a Unicode file containing Thai characters with the font set to Courier New will cause the Thai characters to be displayed with a Thai font, and spaces between the Thai words would be smaller than the Courier New space width. EditPad Pro now forces the text to be spaced consistently.
- File Types, Encoding: Allow the option not to write the BOM to be used even when the default encoding is not a Unicode encoding; require the option to auto-detect files without a BOM to be on instead.
- File Types, Encoding: Option to detect UTF-8 as well as UTF-16 files without a byte order marker. (If the file contains at least one non-ASCII character and no invalid UTF-8 sequences in the first 64K of the file, treat it as UTF-8.)
- Large screens like the preferences or file type configuration now automatically reduce themselves and add scroll bars on computers with very low resolution screens.
- Paste: If there's a rectangular selection, and the text on the clipboard was not copied by EditPad Pro, paste it as if it was a rectangular selection.
[break]
- Ctrl+Backspace to delete a single character at the very start of the file caused an access violation.
- Cursor movement through tabs was sometimes inconsistent.
- EditPad would hang or crash when trying to interpret certain binary files as UTF-8 files (e.g. when opening a file with an .xml extension that's actually a binary file rather than an XML file).
- File Types, Encoding: The default line break style was not applied properly when creating new files.
- Options|Stay on Top: If the stay on top option was active and the tip of the day screen was not disabled, the tip of the day screen would be hidden behind EditPad the next time EditPad was started, making it impossible to close with the mouse. Now, the stay on top option will not actually take effect until the tip of the day window has been dismissed.
