JGsoft has released version 7.3.8 of its free text editor EditPad Lite. This program is not intended for programmers, who should use EditPad Pro, RJ TextEd or Notepad++. This is more of a replacement for the Notepad that comes with Windows.

Unlike Notepad, EditPad Lite can open an unlimited number of files in the same screen, has no limit on the size of files to open, and the number of undos and redos is unlimited. EditPad Lite 7 is still free, but businesses can now also purchase a license if there is no need for all extras that the Pro version offers. Since version 7.3.6, the following changes and improvements have been made:

EditPad Lite 7.3.8

improvement:

  • Preferences|Cursors: Custom mouse pointers now scale on high DPI systems just like the standard mouse pointers.

Bug fixes:

  • Double-clicking the same file twice in Windows Explorer while EditPad is not running may start a new EditPad instance wtih two tabs for the file when the two double clicks are timed just so.
  • Occasional random crashes when a single 64-bit EditPad instance was using more than 4 GB of memory (or an immediate crash on startup when the AllocationPreference registry key forces memory to be allocated from the top down).
  • Regex: Syntax highlighting indicated numbered backreferences that use the syntax for named backreferences as errors even though EditPad allows such backreferences (as long as there is a group with the specified number).
  • Search: Changing the search term or replacement string via the right-click menus of the drop-down list does not show the selected term until keyboard focus is moved away from the drop-down list.
  • Windows 7: Minimizing EditPad when the option to hide the taskbar button is turned on in Options|Preferences|System left a non-functional taskbar button instead of hiding it (7.3.7 only).

EditPad Lite 7.3.7

improvement:

  • File Types|Colors and Syntax: Palette editor color picker previews RGB values ​​when the mouse hovers over a color.

Bug fixes:

  • Spell check: Romanian dictionaries did not show suggestions.
  • Windows 7: Maximizing EditPad, then minimizing all windows with Win+M, and then double-clicking a file in Windows Explorer brought up EditPad’s window in its restored size (not maximized) if you had not previously minimized it from its maximized state by clicking the Minimize button on its caption bar.
  • Windows 7: Maximizing EditPad, then minimizing it, then restoring it unmaximized, and then double-clicking a file in Windows Explorer caused EditPad to maximize itself; this would continue until EditPad was minimized from its non-maximized state.
  • Windows 7: Maximizing EditPad, then minimizing it, then restoring it unmaximized, and then using a menu item like File|New that is available through EditPad’s icon next to the system clock (even if that icon is disabled) caused EditPad to maximize itself; this would continue until EditPad was minimized from its non-maximized state.
  • Word wrap: Word wrapping broke lines at certain characters where it should not, such as the non-breaking hyphen.
