Copernic Reporter Posted November 2, 2010 Reporter Share Posted November 2, 2010 Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License. Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment. Notepad++ v5.8.3 new features and fixed bugs (from v5.8.2): 1. A new application icon. 2. Add the capacity to open x64 system files. 3. Add Edit context menu command. 4. Add a new ability: sub-menus commands can be in the context menu. 5. Fix context menu reload problem (plugin commands reload fails). 6. Fix searching up fails while code page is set to Chinese/Japnese/Korean bug. 7. Remove unsupported encodings by Microsoft Windows : ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-16. 8. Fix move down current lines bug while moving down on the last line. 9. Fix crash issue : crash in the next launch after setting MS-DOS-Style as default language. 10. Fix zoom bug on the second view. 11. Fix a heap corruption of ColourPicker. 12. Due to UAC issue, doLocalConf.xml is ignored under vista and windows 7, if Notepad++ is installed in "Program files" directory.

Quillz Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 The new application icon looks nice. Now, if they could just use native Windows widgets on the toolbars, it'd stop looking like an out-of-place Linux program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( There are much worst in terms of Out of Place linux Program. ) Notepad2 might worth a look if anyone are interested for lightweight one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGar Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I cannot seem to install this on Win 7 64-bit. I completely uninstalled the old version even, and it keeps complaining about not being able to open some files :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which files you're having probs with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
