Previous version history

HippoEDIT 1.47 (NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win7)
HippoEDIT 1.47 (for 64 bit XP/Vista/Win7)
HippoEDIT 1.47 (98/ME)

*NT and 64 bit installers contains PDB files for better crash reporting, so size increased to 9 Mb

Version 751:

• Fixed. Problem in Crash reporting on 64 bit version of HippoEDIT.
• Fixed. When project is closed, project tree is destroyed.
• Fixed. Auto Open Code completion list on first word char typed. Controlled by Options->Code Completion->Open completion automatically after... To emulate Visual Studio behavior set delay to 50 msec. Before Auto Open works only after hierarchy separator.

Version 750:

• New. Data files installation mode introduced. Now all settings, syntax files, workspaces etc can be installed (and later loaded) from three different locations: Current User Application Data, All Users Application Data and Application folder (old style, so called Portable mode). Default for new users is Current Application Data. For existing users old location (for most it portable mode). Once selected, mode can not be changed. To install to new location, you need to do full uninstall first. This option should fix numerous bugs with UAC when running HippoEDIT on Vista/Windows 64 bit.
• New. Option in installer: Add HippoEDIT directory to PATH. Just add path to hippoedit.exe to PATH environment variable, that you can call it from command line from everywhere later. PATHis also restored by uninstaller.
• Fixed. Output window is not invalidated on resize.
• Fixed. Optimization for scope parsing with hierarchy separators (member accessors).
• Fixed. Case correction does not work for multi word keywords.
• Fixed. Numerous fixes for keyword search in connected help (*.chm) files.

• Fixed. Crash after Replace All with regular expressions on and replace of some line break (CRLF/CR/LF) to an empty space.
• Fixed. Pair close symbol (close bracket) is not completed, if open pair symbol (open bracket ) equals to a template key. This helps to apply special indenting rules for example for completion of {} to split it in two lines. Some details can be found here...
• New. Commands added:
  
  • File.SaveSelection - save current selection (selected text) to a file
  • File.AppendSelection - same as File.SaveSelection but do not replace old file content, but append to it

• Fixed. Once more problems with contextual syntax help:
  
  • Several windows open, when external browser selected
  • Keyword search is not always works
  • Multi word keyword search does not work
• New. Now if internal browser used as help browser, Esc brings you back to place where help was called.
• Fixed. Output console now correctly process '\b' (VK_BACK) characters, which often used to show interactivity in DOS program.
• New. Output support input. Try to add as tool cmd.exe to get integrated dos console.
  
  • You can type commands directly in Output window
  • Now pause in bat files can be used
  • You can edit last typed command
  • You can paste commands (or commands sets) to output (now and input) window
  • You can have special exit command defined for tool, that is send to tool when you call Cancel tool from HippoEDIT. Not available in UI yet, but can be defined in as xml attribute for tool in *_user.xml. exit_cmd="exit" fex. Would be in UI in 1.50 probably. For cmd.exe exit as exit command automatically defined.
• Fixed. Crash during completion, when only one item in the list (new bug introduced some versions before). Details...
• Fixed. Now automatic selection of the completion, when only one item is found, done only on initial code completion call (ctrl+space. If list is already open, and one item left after prefix filtering, you need to accept it explicitly with Enter or Tab.
• New. New XML flag added, for controlling delay of tooltip display in completion list: ComplListToolTipDelay. Default is 1500 ms.

• Fixed. Bat (or JS, or VBS) file does not get standard icon displayed in toolbar, when used as tool.
• Fixed. Now helper toolbar menu also available for all kinds of Save dialogs in HE. Can be found near View button in menu, top right corner of dialog. It contains as you favorite folders, added in File Explorer as some frequently used paths as: Current File directory, Last Used directory (previous dialog calls), HE Working Directory . If paths are duplicated or equal to currently selected in dialog they are hidden. Details...
• New. New template tag added %?%. If found in template text causes HE to show for review/modify complete template with all expanded tags before explicit template usage. Can be used everywhere where templates are used: tools, help items, editor. Details...
• New. Now more diagnostic text given, if license code text does not match license code format. Helps to avoid questions when people were inserting code not completely, because of my Begin/End Key words inside
• Fixed. Case correction for templates (when Format After every paste checked) is done even if template is single line. Details...
• Fixed. Problem with multi execution of same template. For example for C based, inserting of /// causes repeat request for inserting after first insertion. This makes it difficult to enter new line after this . So, delay after insertion was doubled increased (also was bug that tooltip was shown immediately), so now should work better. Also new xml flag added to enable suggestion of the Code hint directly after insertion of previous one. By default on.
  To disable hint after hint: hippoedit\data\settings.xml:
  <Code_Completion><HintAfterHint>false</HintAfterHint></Code_Completion>
• Fixed. After insertion of code template, if Format after every paste is enabled and no formatting was done automatic correction of indent done by default (same as if Format after every paste is disabled).
• New. Now it is possible to customize images for styles and margin for every syntax schema or family of schemes (based on schema inheritance). For this two new properties were introduced for schema: StyleBitmap, MarginBitmap.
  <SPECIFICATION>
      <StyleBitmap>images\vs_styles.bmp</StyleBitmap>
      <MarginBitmap>images\vs_margin.bmp</MarginBitmap>
  </SPECIFICATION>
  Property is a path to an image list (as relative as absolute paths are supported) in 32 bit bmp format (with Alpha channel).
  If property is empty or points to missing file, defaults are used. Images, referenced in styles etc, taken from same positions from image list.
  Alternative image lists can be also included in syntax bundles.
  As an example (comes with default installation) you can check css_ms_spec.xml and c++_ms_spec.xml, images are in data\syntax\images sub folder.
  
• New. Restart HippoEDIT function. Now if you close HE in any way, keeping buttons Ctrl+Shift pressed, application would be restarted with same parameters were used for start initial instance. Details...
• Fixed. Crash on double click on empty space on filter toolbar in completion list.
• Fixed. Save As does not use settings for initial directory from Tools->Options->General. Details...
• Fixed. Template processing after Cancel in %InteractiveFile% is not stopped any more. Details...
• New. Now it is possible to circle navigation in completion list (when you press up on top element you jump to last, when on last and down you jump to first). By default it is disabled, but can be enabled with one more xml flag. Requested by Marat.
  <Code_Completion><CicleListNavigation>true</CicleListNavigation></Code_Completion>

• Fixed. Crash when open zero length file with line break not auto.
• Fixed. Crash Report bottom text is overlapped by click here.
• Fixed. Syntax highlighting problems, when line text inherits matching brace style and recovered only on line leave.
• Fixed. Format words are not taken into account, if scope tags are moved (example is press Enter after while (smt) in while (smt) {} when using C like syntax).
• Fixed. Problems for scope intersections. This can happen in some cases in multi syntax documents or if preprocessor directives are used. Then you can start scope in one php block or (preprocessor block) and close language scope in another preprocessor block. Such situations were not resolved correctly. Now new directive for scopes added (decoration="true", default = false) that mark such scopes and allow to process intersection better.
• New. Save All Project Documents option in Tool options dialog added.
• New. Add configuration for visual editor features under margin context menu. Now if you right click on selection margin, outlining margin, word wrap margin or ruler you can access some of the properties available in main menu View->Editor.
• Fixed. Auto Brackets helper does not work when open bracket entered after any word symbol.

Dear Alex,

This build is corrupted on x64 XP Proffesional.
BTW, the installation does not recognize 64 bit computer and does installation into (x86) program directory...

With Best Regards,
HippoUser

Dear Nick,

1) NSIS installer make no difference between 64 bit and 32 bit version and install in old directory on reinstall. Probably you have 32 bit version installed before.
    So just be careful and change it to Program Files
    When you do clean install, this would not happen.

2) I think if you would install in program files, instead of (x86) directory, problem would be fixed. The same if you do clean reinstall.
    Here is FAQ topic about this, but unfortunately archive mentioned does not have 64 bit MFC libraries inside. Would add new one soon.

Best regards,
Alex.

Hi Arthur,

thank for the info.
Which version you have tried (Unicode, 98/Me or x64)?

I have tried with Unicode (http://www.hippoedit.com/download/hippou147_pdb.exe) and for me it works...
Used another browser (Firefox instead of Opera) to avoid using of old cached version by browser.

Maybe you can try to clean browser cache (or only installer file) and try once more? IE sometimes broke downloads and then do not reload but use from cache.

Best regards,
Alex.

[Arthur]

I used the same link http://www.hippoedit.com/download/hippou147_pdb.exe from the below

which probably contains 1.47.742

If I save it to disk it comes only with 176Kb (hippou147_pdb.exe)

[alex]

This what I mean under broken download by IE.
The file is taken from IE cache, I think.

Try or with another browser,  or with some download manager or clean IE cache.
