Seems to work just fine here, Ken.

Hm, u3p version?

I haven't read into those "new-fangled" flash devices, to be honest it hasn't interested me much - a regular usb flash serves me very well. Could you explain what that u3 stuff is good for, and what I'd need to implement to support it?

Version 1.2 has been released - so I'm closing this topic

Even "just" compiling one language to another isn't necessarily trivial; C++ used to be a frontend for C, and iirc the comeau compiler (currently the most compliant compiler, and only one that supports some of the _very_ advanced C++ stuff wrt. templates) also depend on another C++ compiler...

Also, google's AJAX toolkit compiles from JAVA to JavaScript.

But anything that outputs to vbscript can hardly be that complicated

take a microsoft component and stick it into a decent app and right away it collapses... maybe it's time to do away with the explorer pane.. eh, mouser?

It's a custom component written by somebody else, not Microsoft - hold back on the flamehorse

Any changes since the last beta or do I not need to update?

Executable has been compressed, non-implemented Replace has been removed, and it's no longer regarded a "beta"

As topic states, 1.2 is done - now you'll just have to wait for mouser to update the download page etc

housetier, as I see it you can currently have multiple "buffers" per "window" (where, in the windows version, a "window" can be either a tab or another instance of vim). I'd prefer if opening a new file would always create a visual indication that a file was opened... I'm off to work, so I can't explain it better right now.

I wouldn't mind to see the "buffers" die, though, and only have "tabs" left.

I wouldn't like that, i love being able to divide the screen in half, with 2 buffers on each side!

Actually, one thing i don't like about vim is the fact that, if you're editing a not saved buffer, you can't open another one unless you save the current one or divide the screen. (or open a new tab )

That's a useful feature, sure, but IMHO it shouldn't be implemented via "buffers", but via the UI code...

[hate]

I've recently started using/learning VIM for my coding tasks (but still fire up Notepad++ for regular text files). The syntax highlighting in VIM is great, it has powerful RegEx support, and while the "modal" nature is confusing at first, it's very powerful... with just a couple of keystrokes, you can delete a {block} of code, delete the next three words, etc etc etc. Features that are pretty handy when programming. And it's nice that you don't have to take your hands off the keyboard.

I wouldn't mind to see the "buffers" die, though, and only have "tabs" left.

but let me you that controlling the cursor movement via the keyboard

Huh? When using a text editor, I hate having to use the mouse.

EMACS is too big and bloated imho, and has an even steeper learning curve than VIM.

but I'm not a fan of spam. One way to avoid spam is to never download the images sent in spam, as they're supposidly tracked (if the image "149874345232.jpg" is downloaded then "suchandsuch@blah.com" is a valid e-mail).

I've disabled html formatted mails and images, so that won't bite me... but it could be annoying if you rely on html mails.

Bug sucks anyway, sorry that you lost your messages :/

The thumbnail/explorer pane sucks - there's so many problems with it.

Carol, that scenario doesn't necessarily test the robustness of iTunes... I'd guess it stores a database of your music collection somewhere, probably in %USERPROFILE% somewhere. You'd have to fill up *that* partition and try again

That said, programs really ought to save files "safely". Using a decent ACID database, or "save-to-tempfile-then-rename-tempfile-when-saved-properly" scheme, so a failed save will not destroy the old saved file (something that's not in fSekrit yet, but is a high priority for v1.3).

Nasty :/

It's one of those bugs that usually won't be found and fixed before something like this happens, though >_<

For instance, when you download your mail you MUST click on at least one in order to delete anything. So, if you get 10 messages, and they all have viruses, you would HAVE to click on (AKA open) at least one virus laiden message in order to delete the rest.

To be fair, TheBat isn't vulnerable. Even if you have HTML mails turned on, since it uses it's own HTML rendering engine.

[ep:]

ep: oops, thanks for pointing that out. The underscore'd names are the variable names I use in the code, forgot the registry names didn't have underscores. Thanks for pointing out, history.txt updated. flork vs. flork.dk was a stupid slip-up as well.

allen: registry was the easiest way, considering I don't (currently) have a font GUI picker. Also, I use a font not present on most machines (Jibz' wonderful Dina font, so for me it was logical to keep it as a registry setting. No, I will not support embedded fonts, too much code for what fSekrit is.

But I'm considering a GUI font picker, and might embed the font settings.

Beta2 uploaded... final should hopefully be ready for the 15th as promised

[c:\stream.txt]

Okay, so far...

Seems that some people have forgot to read the accompanying text files , the current file->import and file->export always import from / export to c:\stream.txt - pick-a-file dialog boxes will be added before release.

A bug has been identified, you will always be asked if you want to save modfications, even if file hasn't been modified.

Both issues fixed in beta2

runtime's GetDataBack for NTFS has saved me a couple of times.

Nasty! - and not at all fair. Some access points cannot be secured, others only have WEP (which is basically insecure), and many people don't have the tech skills required to secure the access point... bad court, bad!

Updated: beta 2

For those interested, here's a beta of v1.2. I'd like you to bash this in every possible way, and if you can make it crash please do tell me. Do *anything* you can to play tricks on the executable.

This is a pretty good indication of what 1.2 will bring. The text import and export aren't finished yet though, in the beta they both work on c:\stream.txt - final version will of course have a the usual pick-a-file dialog.

Post any findings, suggestions, and hate mails here.

PS: I haven't had any problems on my own box, but this is *BETA* - don't do do anything without backups.

Hm, might be worth a try setting the vmware services to manual - you can always set them back to whatever again if it doesn't work. A bit silly that it's not loaded on-demand anyway.

VirtualPC is okay, but somewhat slower than vmware... at least last time I played with it.

If you can avoid them, don't install an antivirus program (especially not Norton). That's not perfect advice for everyone, but if you've got an oodle of web-smarts, you should be able to spot what's bad and what's ok.

better to be safe than sorry. this is a universal fact.. haha, even experts make mistakes.. so I take this as stupid advice.

Especially since a trojan dropper could hide in an ad banner - either because the ad service doesn't check, or because an affiliate was hacked. And those sneaky bastards constantly find new ways of fooling ad blockers...

LOL - another shot in the arm for Norton

Quite surprised by VMWare though.

vmware runs a bunch of stuff on system startup, like the license service, NAT service, and some mount stuff...

VIM is pretty interesting, I'm trying to "get into it". It's a pain to start with, but I can see how (if you make it past the initial "ugh" barrier) a lot of editing tasks could be pretty speedy with it.

For development, visual studio still has advantages over it though - the stuff you can do with a "browse database" is really nifty, and the debugger is classy too. But when you don't need those features, VIM does seem handy. And a lot more fun to run on a laptop - vs.net *is* pretty damn heavy

Looks nice, I'll give it a shot.
