Download EditPad Pro 7.2.0

JGsoft has not only updated its free text editor EditPad Lite, a new version of EditPad Pro has also been released. While EditPad Lite is intended as a replacement for Notepad, EditPad Pro is more intended for programmers. For example, there is a spell checker that takes syntax coloring into account, and a hex editor, a file-compare option, a bookmark option and an embedded ftp client. A complete overview of the extra options compared to the Lite version can be found on this page are being found. In version 7.2.0 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New features:

• Preferences|Editor: Copy active line when nothing is selected.

Improvements:

• Deleting (large) rectangular selections is now much faster.
• Edit|Copy should not do anything when the cursor is on a blank line and nothing is selected.
• Extra|Compare Files: Saving a file with comparison marks under a new name should not save the old tab caption if the file is an original file to which comparison marks were added rather than a file generated by the file comparison.
• File Types|Colors and Syntax/Navigation: Clicking the Edit buttons when the scheme editors aren’t installed should open the web page where they can be downloaded instead of opening the help file at the first page when it cannot show the correct help page because context-sensitive help is not available (64-bit Windows with IE 9 installed).
• File|Save As should close the file that is being overwritten to prevent the same file being open in two tabs.
• Folding ranges nested 4 levels or deeper now indicate the end of the range with a little horizontal line to the right of the 3rd vertical line.
• Forum: Double-clicking an editpad: link within EditPad should open the link directly in EditPad’s forum rather than using the system for web URLs, which may be configured to launch a specific browser.
• View|Split Editor: When the editor is split and both halves scroll independently then inserting or deleting lines in one half should automatically scroll the other half if it shows lines after the inserted or deleted lines so that the other half continues to show the same text .
• Windows 8: Uninstall shortcut is no longer pinned to the start screen by the installer (but it won’t unpin any shortcuts that were previously pinned).

Bug fixes:

• Edit|Cut Append and Edit|Copy Append failed with an access violation if the clipboard contained an empty string (as opposed to the clipboard being genuinely empty). EditPad itself will never put an empty string onto the clipboard.
• Extra|Delete Duplicate Lines fails to delete the 3rd duplicate in blocks of 3 or more duplicate lines when using the “adjacent lines only” option.
• Extra|Delete Duplicate Lines fails when using the “selection only” option and the first line in the file is not selected (7.1.2 only).
• File History: Compare button failed with an access violations on some PCs.
• Folding ranges temporarily disappeared if the editor was partially repainted and a very large font was being used that results in EditPad making the folding lines wider than a single pixel.
• Print: Print preview was not rendered correctly on high DPI systems.
• Print: Selecting a different color palette in the print preview changes the color palette in the editor too, instead of only applying the palette to the print preview.
• Search and replace does not trigger the File Navigator to update itself.
• Search|Copy Matches: Copying the matches of a regex that only finds zero-length matches causes an access violation when trying to paste the blank data that was copied to the clipboard; now Copy Matches will not alter the clipboard if all matches are zero-length.
• Search|List Matches caused EditPad Pro to lock up when the progress meter reached 100% if a very large number of matches were found.
• Tabs: Clicking above or below the scroll, list, and close buttons on the tab control should not activate the tab that would appear at that position if the buttons were not present.
• View|Browser does not work correctly when Firefox is the default browser and the path to the file you’re editing contains spaces (7.1.2 only).
• Windows 8: Toolbar combo boxes did not properly display their drop-down arrows.
