Eep! I deleted my copy so I can't test - how big of a file can this handle comfortably? I just got into some Directory Readers lately, which list every file you have, and those files can come out 90 megs!! (Yikes!)
Even Notepad struggles with those, so I turned to the web to find a couple high-performance editors. The funniest one is http://www.movsd.com/thegun.htm - The Gun (Grown Up Notepad) shrunk down to minimalist glory of 6k (!!) which is coded apparently in Assembly and drills out huge files. (See also apparently next-generation TopGun with more features.)-TaoPhoenix (December 17, 2011, 05:58 PM)
Thanks Stephen.
Is or could there be a way to set a user defined window size when EasyNotes is started?-bob99 (December 16, 2011, 08:17 AM)
- Update to fix the other problems will be online within the next couple of hours, I just need to go do some christmas shopping first 
Yay the menu bar is there!
There seem to be some bugs in the toggles though.
It gets stuck on some of the commands, so "close menu bar" toggles BOTH on and off, "Allow Window Move" and "Show Window Frame" seem to be both the same type of feature and then they toggle each other on and off etc.
Heh oops - "Open" doesn't work for me at all!
Even "Open With" just gives me a blank app.
I found/made a test case for the "unknown character" part. Heh - but I can't open it in EasyNotes!:Not able to open anything either. Using Crtl+O or via the menu. Worked ok in the 1st version.)-bob99 (December 16, 2011, 07:52 AM)-TaoPhoenix (December 16, 2011, 04:59 AM)
He'd have to say for sure, but it's probably non-printable non-plain-text characters that aren't in the default character table. They show up as boxes when pasted to plain text.-wraith808 (December 15, 2011, 12:11 PM)
Yes, I think you're right - (Another thing Notepad won't do!!)
Quick guess is that they're not text characters of any kind, but hard carriage returns or something, more like command codes. So get this, when I open up the offending file in Notepad, they're boxes, but if I open it in Wordpad (as text) and resave it (as text), they're all fixed.
It would be neat if this app meant I could skip that too... I might have to beg and plead for the menubar so I can switch!-TaoPhoenix (December 15, 2011, 12:27 PM)
1. "Whatever it is" that in Notepad comes through as square boxes etc (extra line feeds or whatever), usually from pasted data, always seems to go away whenever I open it in Wordpad and then save again as text. Then the second time it looks fine in Notepad. ("Whatever" is ... expanded character/stroke interpretation?)
Could you perhaps explain this a little more, I don't fully understand what you mean-Stephen66515 (December 15, 2011, 06:50 AM)

I do like your program. I'm using it to work on a help file my my application-kyrathaba (December 15, 2011, 10:37 AM)
I was just using Ctrl-V as an example. I think Tao's emphasis was on making all context menu items available from keyboard shortcuts, so that muscle-memory could be employed after using the program awhile.
Fantastic program, Stephen. I'm using it right now...-kyrathaba (December 15, 2011, 09:40 AM)
2. What if all the features were in a Toggleable menubar that you can turn on and off? At least for me the muscle memory works better on all apps with menubars, (which is why I hate the new trend in browsers and even gmail!) But then when it gets down to typing, you toggle the menu bar away.I could add this, but the entire aim of this was to have all the options contained in a context menu and not a MenuStrip lol, so I don't really know if I would add this as a feature, at least...not yet anyway smiley
I think what he was thinking is that the menu bar would be toggle-able. That way, if a user prefers the context menus, fine, but if a user prefers to user Ctrl-V to paste, rather than right-clicking in the textbox and then clicking on the "Paste" context menu that pops up, s/he has that option. It's a pretty good idea, because many users prefer keyboard shortcuts to having to actually use the mouse to make menu selections.-kyrathaba (December 15, 2011, 09:05 AM)

3. I don't yet see Find and Replace/Replace All. I hope you add that! : )
4. Maybe a Recent Documents list.
How many actions can it Undo and Redo? I think that's a chance to beat Notepad which I think only has one or so. Doesn't need to be excessive, quick guess says 25, but 12 is okay if there's a difficulty factor.
I see this as a candidate to replace Notepad, because it's made by a Friend Of Cody and might get a stray new feature some day if it's easy to add! (Notepad "Just Is", take it or leave it.)
If that's easy enough to do, I can start putting it through some live testing and see if there's any other must-haves. (My counterweight is WordPad which I generally hate. Suddenly it feels like it crosses the line with rulers and bullets and insert objects and ... yuk. ) I do a modest amount of stuff with raw text files, so I think you're on the way to a Notepad killer.
I can see 2 minor issues:
- Select All doesn't list it's shortcut key (Ctrl-A)
- Closing without saving the data doesn't give a warning/option to save
-Ath (December 13, 2011, 05:23 PM)
And a feature request:
- Option to minimize the window
(Assuming the Move Window issue gets fixed)-Ath (December 13, 2011, 05:25 PM)
