ootput Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 great program, but are there any plans of future syntax highlighting, current line highlighting and line numbering?i suggest that you try, in some way, to model shicola's codepad 584796170[/snapback] Or Notepad2's design. Looks promising, BangBang. Keep up the great work! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224857-nexpad-06/page/4/#findComment-584796229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 28, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2004 Friday guys, friday I'm working on this. I can't get into why it's been put off so much, but just trust its a good reason. As far as modeling after another app, I refuse to even look at similar apps. I want this all to be original and new to me. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224857-nexpad-06/page/4/#findComment-584818974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 28, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2004 so you guys know, I sat down for a half hour or so and for these changes in so far for the next release: - Added ability to create new pad by double clicking blank space on tab bar - Added "Save" to tab context menu - Fixed bug in closing pad when content was not changed (pad would not close) I'm too stressed to do anymore because of some ###### managers at work, but I just wanted to show things are still going.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 29, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2004 Ok expect a release in a day or two. I just have to get the single instance mode running and I'm set. Before I do this though, does everyone want single instance?

Before I do this though, does everyone want single instance? 584828930[/snapback] Hehe :) I think everyone wants have the option (checkbox :p), to select, which mode you wanna start in. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224857-nexpad-06/page/4/#findComment-584830049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 30, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2004 Getting it as an option may be difficult to pull off. I'll see what I can do, but it's going to be hard enough, right now, to be able to not only do a check for a currently running version but also pass any command line arguments to it.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 30, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2004 0.3 BETA is finally up. Changelog: -------v 0.3 ------- Released 10/30/2004 - Added ability to create new pad by double clicking blank space on tab bar - Added "Save" to tab context menu - Added optional status bar - Added current line number - Added URL highlighting (clicking URL opens link in default browser) - Truncated context menu of pad text box - Tab height decreased by 4px - Fixed: Could not close a pad in which content had not been changed - Fixed: Pressing enter in 'find' or 'replace' box would not properly highlight first result - Fixed: 'Select All' would not disable if no text were present Now, I did not put in single instance mode, as of yet, because I'm still not 100% if I want it or not. Also, -=SD=-'s idea for the ability to open more than one pad at startup is not going to be implemented in that form. I actually have an idea for a user "scripted" startup, but nothing is definite on those plans yet. To download, please check the first post of this thread.

Keito Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 great! will test this instantly :D [edit] just a quick question... line numbers... I can't find 'em :blink: although they are there according to the changelog, some help here please bangbang... Also if I start NexPad for the first time it gives me a font of 975 points big :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/224857-nexpad-06/page/4/#findComment-584835146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 30, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2004 1) The current line number is shown in the status bar in the bottom right. I know this isn't what people had in mind, but it's all I want to put in right now. 2) That font issue is weird. Does it happen every time you run NexPad or only the very first time after unzipping it?

Keito Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Only happens after unzipping it and running for the first time... And don't worry about the line numbering this way, it's original and this way it won't bother people that don't like it.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted October 30, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2004 Thanks. It's not too original, but it does it's job lol. The scripted startup idea seems pretty doiable to me. Something like "%n; %f "c:\test.txt"; %n" would open a blank pad, then open a file in a second pad, and finally open a 3rd pad which is also blank. It's an idea. No promises.

Soviet Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Most excellent with the url highlighting!

bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 1, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2004 no i mean a flickering of the text itself when typing in a pad. When I gave a larger document open, the contents flicker while I type and it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to find the reason for this bug.

casao Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I have a feature request for Nexpad, specificly regarding tabs Is there anyway you could make the tabs similar to Opera's tabs? I.E when I wheel/middle click on them, they close? If not, I understand, but it's a feature I've come to find a big time saver, and I figured I'd pass the idea on to you.
