In addition of bookmarks state of collapsed code blocks is also now stored between sessions in such file satellite. If bookmarks or collapsed block exist HippoEDIT would also store cursor position, scroll position and selection. If you do not want creating of satellites or just do not want to store bookmarks or collapsed blocks you can use special xml flags: node <General><Persisit/><General>, attributes bookmarks, folding, breakpoints, protected, positions.

In case when you disable some of properties, elements would be save only for open files. Details…

Hi Alex
Since 09.04.09 I check hourly (or daily ?) release of beta 1.43, no success
But 1.42b was born on 09.04.
Mistake ?

[alex]

Hi,

generally it is already on server
http://www.hippoedit.com/download/hippou143.exe Corrected

but I have not updated the web page yet. Also there are not too much changes inside, comparing to 1.42 (release). I would publish newer beta version today-tomorrow.

I need this post before, to update help file (refer in history on it)

Best regards,
Alex.

[Arthur]

I get the link is broken message. Also, if I am on 1.42.650, do I need 1.43?

[alex]

was a typo - corrected.
Wait. It has some bugs fixed, but not important.

HippoEDIT 1.43 (NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista)
HippoEDIT 1.43 (98, ME)

Fixed. Locked Selection + Column Edit does not work. Fixed, but maybe should be multi edit should be disabled at all when Selection Lock is active. Works strange. Details....

It does behave a little funny . . . It's perfect until you move your cursor, then it clears the selection test and typing starts it over.  I would like to see that "resetting" stop, an example of how I use locked selections: I select an area, type something; scroll down or up to see some reference text, type some more -- perhaps scrolling to where my selection is not even any longer within view -- but I can still type into it using my reference text.

New. New commands added (only in command list but not in menu):

• Window.New
• Window.List
• Window.Split
• Window.TileHorizontally
• Window.TileVertically
• Window.ArrangeIcons
• Window.Cascade
• Window.SplitNextPane
• Window.SplitPreviousPane
• Window.SplitRemove
• Window.Minimize
• Window.Maximize

Can you double check the installer, Alex? I do not see any of these additions (and I do realize it's in the command list, not the window menu). My commands.xml wasn't updated with the install.

[alex]

Hi Allen,

I have them in my installed version.
probably it was not overwritten, because you have changed command.xml manually...
Then just do uninstall, without removing user settings (flag in unsinstaller) and than reinstall.
I would check, that installer always overwrite it.

Also can you please verify that you have 652?

This was not clear to me. Are you talking about Column Edit problem or Selection Lock problem?
Can you also refering to some editor which works as you have described, that I can check?

[Arthur]

The File -> New -> Plain Text has returned back to showing .diz, .trc, etc.
I can see it was overwritten and my txt+spec.xml is now txt_spec.xml.old
Is that really necessary to overwrite on each upgrade the txt_spec.xml file?
Perhaps you can add an option to not to at install time?

[alex]

Yes, it is necessary, otherwise you would not get newest changes in the schema.
But I can think about such flag, this can be an option.

[Arthur]

Can it do a merge then?

[alex]

Theoretically - yes.
Practically - no. It would be too complex... I already thought about it. You need to write rather complicated logic, to find out which changes win...

Stefan wants to start a topic about this problem, maybe we can discuss there how to fix such problem with less effort.

[Arthur]

It seems to me you need a new mechanism rather to preserve user changes, may be user changes can be in a file and the hard-set (by HE shop) in an say embedded database? This way when HE loads itself it takes in the ones from the db and compare to file and loads whatever makes sense/possible?

[alex]

HE already saves user settings in user_xxx.xml files, and they overwrite settings from spec file. For example colors.
And normally you do not change spec file. So probably file extension is only one that left, and I can also read it from user file (and overwrite spec settings).

Help -> Keyboard Map // it is no longer being transformed into a human readable document.

Not sure if this is new with the beta, but--
if you explicitly envoke the shortcuts or command lists (Via the view menu), then press ctrl, alt, shift, etc. -- it indicates what you are pressing, but it does not alter the visible list to show only those corresponding to your keystrokes.

[Arthur]

Help -> Keyboard Map // it is no longer being transformed into a human readable document.

Works for me Allen like:
"File information
Author HippoEDIT.com
Data type HotkeySchema

Schema name: Default
№ Command Shortcut
1 Edit.ParagraphNext Ctrl + ] "
etc. And what is interesting, if I right click on the file [to copy contents] I get a weird rectangle .
Allen, I have IE 8 installed, I think it is HTML dependant more than HippoEdit.
