Download EditPad Lite 7.0.1

JGsoft has released version 7.0.1 of its free text editor EditPad Lite. This program is not intended for programmers, who should use EditPad Pro or Notepad++, but is more of a replacement for the Notepad supplied with Windows. Unlike Notepad, EditPad Lite can have an unlimited number of files open in the same screen, it has no limit on the size of files to open, and the number of undos and redos is unlimited. EditPad 7 is still free, but companies can now also purchase a license, if there is no need for all extras that the Pro version offers. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

New features:

• Forum: Attach file being edited.
• Forum: Attach search panel settings.

Improvements:

• File Types: Ignore unquoted spaces before and after each file mask in the list of file masks.
• Forum: Forum window stays enabled when EditPad’s main window is showing a modal dialog box.
• Search: Preserve state of the Highlight option when restarting EditPad.
• Search: Take the whole search match (selection) into account rather than just the end of the search match (cursor position) when scrolling the text to put the search match into view.

Bug fixes:

• Double-clicking on whitespace at the start or end of a line should not select the line break and any whitespace on the previous or next line.
• Extra|Delete Duplicate Lines failed with an access violation in EditPad Lite. The file being edited was unaffected by this.
• Open and save dialog boxes did not appear when “disable visual themes” was turned on in the compatibility settings for EditPad. Since EditPad is fully compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7, you should not turn on any of the compatibility settings.
• Options|Font: If only one file is open, changing that file’s font and then closing it does not use the default font for the new blank Untitled 1 file, even though it uses all other default settings for that file.
• Proxy settings were not saved unless you changed other preferences too.
• Search: Hiding the search toolbar, using the full search panel, closing the full search panel, and showing the search toolbar again did not update the search toolbar with the search term last used on the full search panel.
• Search: Line by line searches using regular expressions did not restrict the full regex match to a single line.
• Search: Pasting into the search and replace drop-down lists failed with a beep if the text on the clipboard included a line break; now it will paste the first line.
• Search: Pressing Enter in the Search drop-down list on the search toolbar (when not using the full search panel) always moved keyboard focus to the main editor, even when that option was disabled in the Search Preferences.
• Text Layout Configuration window now has scroll bars when the whole window doesn’t fit on the screen.
