EditPad Lite 8.2.4

EditPad Lite 8.2.4 – 31 May 2021

This release fixes one bug that we introduced in EditPad Lite 8.2.3 last week. The Search|Replace Current and the Search|Replace & Find Next commands substituted

with nothing instead of substituting them with the capturing group matches of the most recent regular expression match. This bug did not affect the Replace All command.

EditPad Lite 8.2.3 – 26 May 2021

If you enter a

with a syntax error into the Search box then EditPad highlights the invalid part of the regex in red. If you try to search with it anyway then you get a popup message explaining the error. But a regex that is syntactically valid may still trigger an error while the regex engine tries to execute it due to

, or an

. EditPad now pops up an error message for these execution errors too instead of treating them as failed match attempts. This makes the problem with the regex more obvious.

You can use the

menu item to toggle between EditPad’s light and dark themes. Doing so also switches your file types between light and dark color palettes if you selected palettes that have a light or dark companion palette. Two issues were fixed in this area. The Search and Replace boxes now immediately use the new palette if the file type of the active file has a light or dark companion palette. Companion palettes that you select for

are now preserved correctly when you restart EditPad.

EditPad 8.2.0 through 8.2.2 maintained the right-click menu of EditPad’s taskbar button by themselves when running on Windows 7 or later. Windows calls this menu the JumpList. This was done to implement a feature request to allow this right-click menu to be used to switch between files that are already open in EditPad. But this caused various problems. The JumpList failed to retain pinned items. EditPad 8.2.0 and 8.2.1 failed to start when the JumpList could not be initialized which happened when

. As the problems outweighed the benefits, EditPad 8.2.3 lets Windows maintain its JumpList just like EditPad 8.1.2 and all prior versions used to do.

EditPad Lite 8.2.5

Bug fixes:

• Changing the font size with Ctrl+Wheel only made the font larger when using a complex script text layout.
• Search: Replacements were jumbled if the replacement string contained a case conversion backreference that is not at the end of the replacement and the case conversion has no effect because the matched text is already the correct case or doesn’t have any case; e.g. replacing 9 with \U0; resulted in ;9 instead of 9;.
• Search|Find Last had issues when using a regular expression; now it will say that regular expressions cannot search backwards similar to Search|Find Previous.

EditPad Lite 8.4.0​

June 27, 2022

• New feature:
• Font used by the main menu, toolbars, and context menus can now be changed by right-clicking the main menu or any toolbar and selecting Menu Font.
• Improvements:
• Manifest now includes longPathAware to indicate support for paths longer than 260 characters (which EditPad has had since version 8.0.0).
• Status bar now adjusts its height and the width of its panel to the size of the font.
• Bug fixes:
• Reducing font size after enabling line numbers no longer makes the cursor invisible at the start of the line.
• Search|Highlight All: A zero-length regex match at the very end of the file is now highlighted.

New in EditPad Lite 8.3.1 (March 1, 2022)​

• Improvements:
• Do not copy text in AceText’s clipboard if PowerGREP 2.x.x is installed as this old version of PowerGREP was not correctly future-proofed for AceText’s new clipboard format.
• Search: Allow Find Previous with a regular expression when the Line by Line search mode is active, going through the lines in the file from bottom to top and applying the regex to each line from left to right.
• Bug fixes:
• File Types|Encoding: If the default encoding is UTF-16 or UTF-32 but the file being opened is not a multiple of 2 or 4 bytes in size then open the file using the non-Unicode encoding instead of trimming the final bytes in the file to make it a multiple of 2 or 4 bytes in size. Previously, EditPad would check whether the file is likely valid UTF-16 or UTF-32 after the final bytes had been trimmed which could result in the file being opened using the non-Unicode encoding but with 1 or up to 3 characters missing at the end.
• Search Options|Adapt Case: When searching in regular expressions mode (regardless of whether the seach term is a regex or a literal) and replacing with a literal string using the Adapt Case option, then doing a second replacement with a different replacement string continued to use the previous replacement until a regex match with different casing was found.
• Search: Pasting 17 or more bytes from a hex editor into the small Search or Replace box failed with an access violation error.
• Search: Regexes like Gliteral that start with G and then have nothing but literal text ignored the G finding the literal text anywhere in the file.
• Search|Replace Current as well as Replace and Find Next/Previous commands failed with an access violation error if the replacement text contained the %LINE% or %LINEN% match placeholders (8.3.0 only).

New in EditPad Lite 8.3.0 (January 20, 2022)​

• Improvement:
• Single-line edit controls now select all their contents when they receive keyboard focus as they used to do in EditPad 7 and as they do in most Windows applications.
• Bug fixes:
• AceText would sometimes paste into the Search or Replace box when the multi-line Search panel is a floating window even though EditPad’s main editor control had keyboard focus.
• File Types|Brackets: Changing the option to highlight brackets within tags now immediately updates bracket matching in files that are already open.
• Search|Find Next now indicates no match can be found instead of looping when the cursor is at the end of the search range and the option to loop automatically is off; this stops it from looping when searching for a regex that finds a zero-length match at the end of the search range.

EditPad Lite 8.4.1​

November 7, 2022

• Bug fixes:
• FTP: Could not connect to FTP servers such as WS_FTP that return a 503 error if the SYST command is sent before logging in (5.4.0 only).
• Home key had no effect if the cursor was beyond the end of a line on an empty line (and thus also beyond the start of that line) when using a complex script text layout.
• Placeholders: A single extraneous character at the end of a placeholder option was ignored; e.g. %MATCH:LQ% was interpreted as %MATCH:L%.
• Preferences|Open Files: Automatically reload all files in the active project that were modified on disk did not reload the active file when switching back to EditPad when multiple files are open in the project and only the active file was modified by another application.
• Switching between a left-to-right and right-to-left text layout did not immediately move the vertical scroll bar to the other side of the editor; it would move after switching to another file and back.

EditPad Lite 8.5.0​

New features:

• File Types: Github Flavored Markdown syntax coloring scheme.
• File Types: GoogleSQL syntax coloring scheme.
• File Types: YAML file type with syntax coloring.

Improvements:

• File Types: Delphi syntax coloring scheme now supports triple-quoted multi-line strings, binary literals, and underscores in literal numbers.
• File Types: Java syntax coloring scheme now supports triple-quoted text blocks and separately highlights character escapes within strings and text blocks if the palette uses different colors for “character” and “character string”.
• File Types: R syntax coloring scheme now treats the ]] in a[c[10]] as two closing brackets that are then correctly paired with the two opening brackets. It will even correctly match up all the single and double bracket pairs in something fanciful like list[[v[list[]]]].
  [*]File Types: Updated MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Transact-SQL syntax coloring schemes.
  [*]File Types: When downloading syntax coloring schemes or spell check dictionaries, connect to EditPad’s server using HTTP instead of HTTPS on Windows 8.1 and prior to avoid connection errors if Windows wasn’t updated to support TLS 1.2.
  [*]Removing the printer that EditPad most recently printed on or the printer becoming unavailable due to a network issue while EditPad was still running caused a “printer selected is not valid” error when trying to print with EditPad until EditPad was restarted; now EditPad will show a more helpful error message suggesting to shut it down with File|Exit and restart it.
  [*]Spell check: Do not treat a word as misspelled if the word contains characters that do not occur in the dictionary’s character set (the assumption being that the word is in a different language than the dictionary).
  

Bug fixes:

• Edit|Undo and Edit|Redo operated on the file instead of on the small Search box or Replace box when they had keyboard focus if the active file had undoable or redoable actions.
• Extremely long regular expressions no longer cause EditPad to crash with a stack overflow (but may trigger an error message saying the regular expression is too long).
• File Types: Delphi variant records have a “case” keyword that should not be paired with an “end” keyword.
• File Types|Colors: Built-in palettes now use palette-specific colors for highlighting matching brackets and custom palettes now allow these colors to be customized.
• List index out of bounds when using File|Open to open a file and its working copy if sorting the files in alphanumeric order put the actual file at the end of the list of files being opened.
• Right-clicking certain files that have a context menu handler in a common file dialog box (such as the one used by File|Open) could crash EditPad.
• Search: Pressing an Alt+letter key combination to toggle a search option while the small Search or Replace box had keyboard focus disabled all keyboard shortcuts other than Alt+letter combinations until you moved keyboard focus to another control.
• Search: Replace All now produces the same results as using Find First and then repeatedly Replace And Find Next when a regular expression matches half of a CRLF pair.
• Search|Multi-Line Search Panel: Switching from the multi-line panel to using only the Search toolbar while there was a multi-line search term or replacement showed only the first line of the search term and replacement on the toolbar (as expected) but EditPad continued to use the previous multi-line search term or replacement until you made a change to it.
• Syntax coloring was sometimes not updated correctly when deleting a large part of a file using a “fast” syntax coloring scheme (a scheme selectable for editing huge files).
• Vertical scroll bar was not painted correctly by the dark theme when using a right-to-left text layout.
