Version 649:

Controlled by property in Options->Color schemes.
• New. Portable mode - Enabled as by command line parameter (--portable) as by xml setting in hippoedit.config (<general><Portable>true</Portable></general>). In this mode HippoEDIT would not create any temp files on exit (they are used to speed up loading of editor next time and for user file preferences)

Auto Templates are shown in the list of the templates for syntax, but not saved until changed. As far user have changed description or text for auto template, it would be converted to user template and saved. User template has priority over auto templates, and so, auto template would not be created, if user template with same key already exist

Version 626:

• Fixed. Not possible to enter tab in beginning of the line Details...
• Fixed. Hotspot link is not navigatable Details...

Version 622:

• New in XML schema. Style property first_pos as alternative for start_pos used in definition of the Block, when you wont to specify first non white space position in the line. start_pos is absolute, and count all symbols. Can be used, for example for specifing comment style starting if found on before any non-white space character (inno_spec.xml).
• New in XML schema. New definition for style - Word, in addition to Keyword and Block. It catches any word (continues group of symbols from Words node in Specification) which meet defined conditions. Conditions can be lead_with or trail_with. lead_with - word leaded by character sequence (case sensitive). trail_with - word trailed by character sequence (case sensitive). You can have mor then one Word definition, in Words aggregation inside style. Word definitions are inheritable and working as OR condition. To have AND condition you can use lead_with and trail_with in same Word definition.
  In addition to usage of lead_with or trail_with in Word definition, you can also use it in Keyword definitions. Or placing them on aggregation level (Keywords  node) ot for every Keyword node. The logic for lead_with and trail_with is same as for Words. As example can be checked xml_spec.xml. BTW this extension helps to define normal syntax highligting rules for XML. Just have noticed, that I have not updated colors in xml_spec.xml for Attribute and Node styles (new). So they have them as before. Would come with next beta or can be changed in settings.

It took for me some time to understand this, but now i get it.

I have this text:
Test + Test
to [understood]
3 * 4 = 12

After copy and paste this in find-dialog i get there:
Test \+ Test\r\nto \[understood\] \r\n3 \* 4 = 12

AHA

[alex]

Yes, and regular expressions should be switched on.

[Arthur]

Greetings!

Well, I have to report that after upgrading to this new Beta version I have lost all my tools formerly found in Manage Tools 

[alex]

Hi Artur,

can you tell me for which syntax they were belonging?
I need to check.

Normally user files are not overwritten. But you can check for *.old files in you data directory. It should contain old settings.

[Arthur]

No .old files at all; they were CSript, ISQL and perhaps CS. Those are for VBScript, SQL Server and C# respectively.

[alex]

Hi Arthur,

could no reproduce this. If files were overwritten, *.old files should be created.
Can you reproduce this? Something like create a tool and do reinstall and check?

Best regards,
Alex

[Arthur]

How about next time a new beta becomes available?

[alex]

Then it can be fixed only after 2 betas
