Topic: Taste of VEDIT 6.20 (1 of 13), Read 67 times Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: Ted Green Date: Friday, December 03, 2010 04:43 PM A very preliminary VEDIT 6.20 (development version) is available here: http:\\www.vedit.com\download\beta\vpw-prod.exe There is no doco on it yet; not even the readme.txt file. Here is the only doco: 1. Includes the new .chm help system 2. The same Alt-key fixes as in 6.15.4 3. Includes Pauli Lindgren's new wildfilew.vdm macro as {MISC, Wildfile} 4. Includes Pauli Lindgren's findfile.vdm macros as {File, Open (More), Find file and open} 5. Includes Scott Lamberts Scribe spelling checker as {MISC, More, Scribe} At this time I don't really want/need feedback on Vista/Win7 problems; I am well aware of them. Pauli and Scott: Please let me know if I have implemented your macros correctly. ------------ My current work is on resolving the non-admin user problems under Vista/Win7. In particular, the VEDIT files by default will likely be installed into: c:\program files (x86)\Vedit - for all read-only files c:\users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Vedit - for all R/W files (.cfg, .ini, .prj, etc) Ted.

Topic: Taste of VEDIT 6.20 (2 of 13), Read 64 times, 4 File Attachments Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: Ian Binnie Date: Saturday, December 04, 2010 12:54 AM I decided to try the new Vedit in a new directory. (It seems to work quite well in XP.) The new installation did highlight a couple of changes I had made to my installation. I had modified C.SYN to include the C++ reserved word bool, and also included a number of Microsoft extensions e.g. TCHAR Similarly I have added a few common tag attributes to html.syn I also have syntax highlighting for gedcom files for Email RFC 2822 which may be of interest. I noticed the status line font defaults to Fixedsys. This must be the world's ugliest font, and is not appropriate for a high resolution display. I know users can change this, but Lucida Console (which is available on Windows since 98) would be a better default, and looks similar to the Tab text.

Includes the new .chm help system The help file doesn't seem to be quite finished yet. There are several formatting problems. And of course some of the information is outdated. Further, I would split the help into smaller pages, and perhaps use more levels in the Contents tree view. At least all the commands in "Commands - Detailed Summary" should be in a separate branch. But why does the help window have Aways On Top property set? This makes it difficult to use the help. You have to close the help window in order to be able to continue using Vedit, since the help window is on top of Vedit window. Then, if you want to continue reading help, you have to find the correct location in the help again. Bugs: Selecting "Command at cursor" in Help menu causes Vedit to crash. The following error message is displayed: "VEDIT Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close." The same error occurs if you press F1 when executing macro command Get_Key("xxx"). Try Incremental Search for example. However, command Get_Key("xxx", STATLINE) does not have this problem. >3.

"Favorites" only seems to let you bookmark the start of the Topic. I normally have Regular Expression Basics as one of my Favourites, but can't do this. >But why does the help window have Aways >On Top property set? >This makes it difficult to use the help. >You have to close the help window in >order to be able to continue using >Vedit, since the help window is on top >of Vedit window.

When a one-row info window is displayed on bottom line (for example on Wildfilew.vdm in Visual mode, or on compdir.vdm), window heading is displayed on 6.20. On XP, the window heading takes up more space than the actual window. And it looks ugly too. -- Pauli

Here is a macro fix_regexpr.vdm that can be used to fix the macros. By default, the macro asks confirmation for each replace, but you can change it to fully automatic by setting #10 = 0 at the beginning of the macro. You can find the macros that need to be fixed by entering the following search pattern in Wildfile: |{search,replace,s,r}|[|w](|*{|*REGEXP|*) This may not find all the cases. For example, the search string may have been set in a T-Reg before performing search or replace. But I have not not found such cases among the supplied macros. Alternatively, you can just run the macro for all .vdm files (and .vtm, .key etc.) from Wildfilew.vdm. -- Pauli

This version 6.20.0 02/01/11 still has the bugs previously reported above, and crashes often (on XP) If anything is is worse - I even got it in a state where it would not display files, and showed windows below.

I meant to say that the download worked like a charm I also succeeded in installing it into my Windows 7 computer. I like the new directory structure. At the same time, I was sorry to see that for example the Command at cursor menu command does not work, as per previous reports. -peter
