Download EditPad Lite 7.6.4

JGsoft has released version 7.6.4 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, it 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 7.5.0, the following changes and improvements have been made:

EditPad Lite 7.6.4

Improvements:

• Character map: Minimum cell size now scales on high DPI systems, keeping large character sets like Unicode legible.
• File tabs are now better proportioned on high DPI systems.
• Windows 10: Installer now deals with Controlled Folder Access more efficiently when Windows Defender is operational and ignores it when Windows Defender is not operational, ensuring a smoother installation on Windows 10 1709 (Fall Creators Update) and 1803 (April 2018 Update).

Bug fixes:

• File Types|Encoding: Default line break style is now used when opening an existing file that does not have any line breaks.
• Saving an existing file failed if the file was in use by another application even when that application did not keep a write lock on the file.
• Search: Highlighting regex matches with the Inverted Line By Line search option turned on did not work correctly (7.6.x only).

EditPad Lite 7.6.3

Improvements:

• Windows 10: Installer adds EditPad as an allowed application to Controlled Folder Access in Windows Defender in the Fall Creators Update.
• Windows 10: Installer no longer complains that it can’t create the desktop shortcut if that was blocked by Controlled Folder Access.

Bug fixes:

• Preferences|Open Files: Option to automatically reload all files was turned off each time you opened the Preferences dialog.
• Windows 10: EditPad now shows an error message instead of pretending the file was saved successfully when overwriting an existing file is blocked by Controlled Folder Access.

EditPad Lite 7.6.2

Improvements:

• Spell checker: Learned words that are not entirely lowercase are now case sensitive just like words in the main dictionary.
• Text Layout Configuration: Disable character width option when the text layout is not monospaced to indicate that it won’t be used.

Bug fixes:

• Spell checker: Automatic suggestions for a misspelled word that is all lowercase now preserve the case the suggested word has in the dictionary instead of making it lowercase.
• Spell checker: Learned replacements that only change the case of a word no longer highlight occurrences of the word with the corrected case as misspelled.
• The ellipsis character U+2026 was changed into a line break when copied to the clipboard by EditPad from a file that does not exclusively use CRLF line breaks and pasted into an application that’s not from Just Great Software.
• View|Browser in some situations used the browser that was previously associated with .html files instead of the browser currently associated with .html files, depending on how the file association was changed.

EditPad Lite 7.6.1

improvement:

• Tip of the day is no longer shown at startup when automatic news is shown at startup.

Bug fixes:

• Go|Next/Previous Editing Position now clears the selection when selections are not persistent.
• Proxy server settings were not saved (7.6.0 only).

EditPad Lite 7.6.0

New features:

• Help|News & Updates: New version announcements and other news about EditPad and optionally other Just Great Software products can now be shown automatically or upon request.

Improvements:

• Proxy password is now encrypted when stored in the .ini file.
• Search: Highlighting regex matches of \r or \n now highlights all CRLF pairs to indicate that replacing half a line break always replaces the entire line break in EditPad.
• Windows 10: Mouse wheel scrolls the control pointed to by the mouse pointer instead of the control that has keyboard focus.
