Notepad++ v.4.7

[linhanshi]

Happy New Year.

Notepad++ is a free generic source code editor and Notepad replacement, which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment.

Here's the new release Notepad++ v.4.7 :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=95717

This version is more robust thanks to the new recovery system to prevent the fail loading due to the corrupted xml files.
As well, besides the User Language Define System, the new language (Scintilla external lexer) can be added in Notepad++ under the plugin form.
For those who don't like tabbed document interface, "-notabbar" argument can be added in a shortcut or a command line to launch Notepad++ without tab.
This new release includes 2 very demanded plugins : FTP_Synchronize and NppExport plugin.
FTP_Synchronize let you edit a remoted file directly in Notepad++. It uploads modified file while you save it in Notepad++.
NppExport is a true WYSIWYG exporter. It allows you not only to save your source code as a html/rtf file, but also to copy your source code in the clipboard in RTF/HTML format, so you can paste it into your word processor (MS Word, Abiword, openoffice.org Writer) to get the same visual effect.

Here are v4.7 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.6) :

1. Make the "recovery system" for 3 mandatory xml files (config.xml, langs.xml and stylers.xml) to prevent the fail loading due to the corrupted files.
2. Extend plugin capacity - add the Scintilla external lexer capacity.
3. Add the ability to hide the tab bar with "-notabbar" flag in command line (ie. Notepad style).
4. Column selection is remembered now while switching among the files. As well this settings will be stored in the next session.
5. Add 2 Commends (beside Toggle Comment) Comment (Ctrl+K) and Uncomment (Ctrl+Shift+K).
6. Change "UTF8 without BOM" menu item behaviour.
7. Fix the hiding bug while launch time because of change of environment from duel monitors to mono monitor.
8. Remove vista UAC warning for GUP. Add "Update Notepad++" menu item.
9. Add NPPM_HIDETABBAR and NPPM_ISTABBARHIDE plugins messages.
10. Add NPPM_GETNPPVERSION message for plugin system.
11. Enhance the horizontal scroll feature.
12. Change Find in files behaviour : all the hidden directory won't be searched (for example : .svn).
13. Add build date-time in about box.
14. Fix a bug where a file with 2 or more consecutive spaces gives problems with sessions and history.
15. Fix the problem where opening a file when in save as dialog saves the wrong file.

Included plugins :

1. TexFX v0.24a
2. NppExec v0.2 RC2
3. Spell Checker v1.3.1
4. Quick text v0.02
5. Explorer plugin v1.6.1
6. Hex editor v0.84
7. Base64 encoder/decoder v1.2
8. FTP_synchronize v0.9.5.0

I tried to set it up to replace Notepad but it turned into a nightmare. Any tips?? Any I've read didn't work too well.

I know many people who use it as their all-round editor, with great success. I hope your problems will get solved.

Hey Delta...what I meant was that I tried to replace the original notepad so that any calls to it would be intercepted by notepad++. It seems trivial, but notepad seems built into Windoze like IE deplorer, and simply replacing references to notepad by notepad++ don't go over that well.

[dELTA]

Ah, I see, and yeah, I can imagine. All too many things are hardcoded in Windows...

Thanks for keeping our readers updated on new versions.

Regards,

[dELTA]

...even though the proper/recommended way to do it is to update the CRCETL entry for it yourself, and then drop a note about this here in the forums.

JMI:Thanks you 。

I have seen in the new year. RCE AND EXETOOLS have a very good development.
