Hi, I’m trying to use the portable version, because I have many customizations, and I use lots of different machines, so it would be very nice if I could get this to work seamlessly from my USB stick no matter where I am. So far I am pretty close, but …

I like the Automatic workspace, I have it set for fully automatic. The problem is that the workspace should depend on the machine that I’m working on, but instead, it is “portable” too. The workspace has info about what files I have open, and those are different for different machines. Now, when I take my USB stick home and fire up EmEditor, it tries to open up files that I had open on my work computer.

It seems that the workspace files is saved in $bin-dir/AppData/Workspace/LastData.bin, where $bin-dir is the “portable” directory. This should either be moved to the user dir for the machine, or else there needs to be one workspace per machine/user combination — but that would probably be too complicated.

I also found that if I close EmEditor with an unsaved file, it stores that temporary file in the user dir for the machine (on my home machine, with Vista, “C:UsersKlorthoAppDataLocalEmurasoftEmEditorWorkspace”). This is definitely a bug — wherever the workspace file is, these temporary files must be stored in the same place. In other words, these temporary files are in the right place, but since the workspace file is not, it is a mess.

But I don’t want to sound too harsh — I am loving version 9! Kudos, again! :-) I guess till this feature is fixed, I will change to not use the automatic workspace — that’s probably safest.

This is certainly a bug, so I am going to fix that in the next minor version. Thanks!

Hi, I just installed the portable version, and I’m trying to put all my macros in a “macros” subdirectory of the installation directory. That way, I can have everything in one place.
The problem is illustrated by this sequence of steps:
1. I copied my macro “XMLEscape.jsee”, into the “macros” subdirectory of the EmEditor directory where I have the portable version
2. I selected the menu option “Macros” – “Select”, and navigated to the file and clicked “Open”,
3. In the “Macros” menu, I now see my macro listed as item # 2.
4. If I try to click on it, though, I get a box saying “The system cannot find the file specified. macrosXMLEscape.jsee”

I checked in the eeCommon.ini file, and found that the setting is
MacroFile=macrosXMLEscape.jsee
which is clearly wrong, the path shouldn’t start with “” — it should be relative.

If I change that to remove the leading “”, and then restart EmEditor, then I can access the macro.

The same problem occurs when you try to customize the macro menu through “Macros” – “Customize…”. If I click “New” and add macros using that box, then they appear in the menu, but clicking on them has the same problem. I found that to make the change permanent, so that these macros are always available from the “Macros” menu, I had to change the pathnames under the [Macros] section of the same .ini file.

I cannot reproduce your issue, so it might depend on OS version. Which OS do you use? Windows XP or Vista? Do you use the latest version of EmEditor — 9.06?

I just installed the portable version 9.0.6, and found that I can’t access online help. I see the table of contents, but each page’s contents displays as “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”. I get the same symptoms when I try to bring it up directly by double-clicking on mui/1033/emeditor.chm.

But note that I can view that .chm file from Firefox’s “View CHM” plug in. I didn’t have this problem with 9.0.1 (while running as fixed, installed version).

:-)

This is a common problem with Windows Help. In Windows Explorer, right-click on emeditor.chm (located in mui1033 folder), select Properties, and in the General tab, click “Unblock” button. Select OK. Then, you can view the Help.

I want to create the following snippet that insert clipboard data (a filepath copied in the clipboard). I used the syntax provided in the help file. The line with the macro is this:

`# Interface.write( clipboardData.getData(“”) );`

I copied a path (c:test) in the clipboard and executed the snipped. It worked fine. Then I copied another path (d:test) and now the text was appended so I got:

c:testd:test

executing the snippet again without another copy before added the clipboard data again:

c:testd:testd:test

after some testing I found out that the following line sents combined all what I had inserted with the above macro before.

`#`

So this line would also get the result:

c:testd:testd:test

I this a bug or do I something wrong?

Thanks and all the best

This is a bug. I will fix this in the next version. Thanks!

I find the reason of this bug.
When you enable a plug-in , it cause the text in output bar will “wrap”.
At this situation you can’t jump to the file that show in output bar.

I send a picture to you,too.

I received your screenshot. Thanks for your email!

I would be very keen to see new 32 and 64bit spell checker plugins based on Hunspell (see http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/). Hunspell is the default spell checker of OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox 3 & Thunderbird, and at the moment there are dictionaries for 96 languages (see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries).

I examined the UK English version of the current 32bit spell checker plugin and noticed that it is based on the rather old Sentry Spelling-Checker Engine from Wintree Software (the sse5332.dll dates from 04/10/2000). Hunspell is way more modern and flexible.

There is some work on the combination of scite and hunspell (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/scihun/) and the result is not bad.

Given the excellent support for different encodings within EmEditor, it would be very nice to have a modern spell-checker that can work with any language that is available for OpenOffice and Firefox.

I will take a look at this spelling engine. Thanks!

A minor cosmetic bug, which can be observed in the 32 and 64bit versions of EmEditor 9.06, running under Windows 7 Professional (under both the 32 and 64bit versions).

If you hover the mouse over the vertical or horizontal scroll bar, it does not switch to “selected state” as in other Windows 7 applications, e.g. notepad. However, if you click on a scroll bar, it becomes “selected”, and remains “selected” till you close the file.

That is interesting. I might fix this issue. Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

I mean “Matched parentheses/brackets”.

If functions names are not listed in the Highlight (1) tab of configuration properties, you might want to add function names that you want to highlight.

Thanks!

Emeditor crashes for me every time when the Wrap Indent option is selected in the Tab/Indent dialog box. I’m not sure if there are other options that interact with this, but I do know that having this option selected and then entering some text that contains a CR and opening bracket causes a crash.

To reproduce:
1. Select Wrap Indent.
2. Enter text with CR in editor window.
3. Enter open bracket ( { ),

Running version 9.06 trial.

I cannot reproduce this issue. Can you explain the issue in details including samples, or email me at [email protected]?

Seems that this bug is caused by the new snippets plugin.

I can reproduce it on emeditor v9.06 Portable, with default settings and default plugins, only the new snippets plugin and brackets auto-completion activated.

All things will be fine if the new snippets plugin disabled. :-)

I reproduced this issue. I will try to fix this in the future versions. Thanks!

Am I correct?

Is this how it is suppose to work.

I am using emeditor 9.06 mobile

Thanks,

It is true. In the future versions, I might change this behavior. Thanks!

However I am not ready to use snippets yet.

I am using autocomplete in ver 9.06 mobile and It does not work.

When I hit the hotkey defined to do autocomplete it does nothing and the just makes a ding sound.

Help would be appreciated.

Steven

It might conflict with other plug-ins with the same shortcut key. Can you disable all other plug-ins and try again?

No. The similar feature can be found in the Search plug-in.

The highlighting effects only show when cursor at the left-hand-side of the brackets. This is the specification.

In v9.06, if you select some lines of text and select “Narrowing”, then the behavior becomes what you described. This is actually a bug, and will be fixed in future versions. However, I might add the same feature in the future versions as an option. Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

Can you find any procedures that can reproduce the crash? With only the information you gave me, it is difficult to debug. Thanks!

[Yutaka Emura]

For 1. Parenthesis/brackets, you can specify “Parenthesis/brackets” in the “Specify Part” list in the Display tab of Configuration Properties.

For 2. and 3., operators and functions are defined by one of Highlight (1) – (10). It depends on configuration you use, so you might want to check which Highlight (n) is used from the Highlight (1) tab of configuration properties.

In Find in Files, you cannot change the text box size, but you can enter multiple-line string by using ‘n’ escape sequences. Thanks!

How is this done?
Also, how is the Use Fixed Tag File used? When I selected it, I just get an error message that the file is not there.
Maybe I’m not finding this info in the help…
Thanks,

Can you check the keyboard settings of the Projects plug-in? You don’t need to use the fixed tag file just to make the Symbol jump feature activate.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. You could write a macro to do just that. Thanks!

You can double-click on a tab, or drag a tab to outside of the window, so multiple windows will be displayed.
