I use it for java development, and it's by far the best editor I've found. </p> <p>One thing that really bothers me, though, is the order that open files are listed in the Open Files window. I'd really like to be able to sort this list alphabetically.<br /> It appears that they are listed in the order that they were opened in, but as I work, I tend to get many files open at once, and I have no idea which order they were opened in. This makes it very difficult to navigate my open files. I've found it's easier to just use the Projects window, and re-open each file as I need it, rather than searching for the file I already have open. </p> <p>Ideally, I think this ought to be a setting. Maybe it could be in a context menu that appears on right click in the Open Files window - just like the sort order appears in the windows explorer context menu. </p> <p>Thanks for a great product. If there's already some way of doing what I want, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, please consider it in a future release. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2778#post-5091 Thu, 13 May 2010 10:46:54 +0000 Sycko 5091@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Sorry, but I do not have a google account and do not want to create one - can somebody else do this? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2778#post-4848 Tue, 04 May 2010 12:58:17 +0000 simon 4848@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>1.

Finally you can change the name at all marked positions simultaneously. But I think, search/replace is a quicker why. ;) Why not use that? What advantage has your feature?

But there are a few things which I think can be enhanced though. Some of them are dealing with the auto reload function.</p> <p>- First of all: The auto reload function. There is an option for deactivating the auto reload for a specific file - but I do not find an option for the opposite purpose. In my opinion, it is not comfortable if you have to accept the reload of a specific file every time it is changed outside<br /> - Second: The auto reload function ;) As there is not option to automatically reload all opened files the following may happen: I open a few files in Programmers Notepad, change them (without saving) and also change them from outside where I save them. After that I click the 'save all' button in Programmers Notepad - now I lose the changes which where made from outside programmers notepad. I think it would be great to get informed that there where also changes made from outside.</p> <p>There are also other improvements I could imagine which I will post another day ;)</p> <p>Best regards<br /> Sycko </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/691#post-3645 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 21:19:26 +0000 simon 3645@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>If you install the PyPN extension, you can already record and replay macros - and then tweak them afterwards by editing the python code that's generated for you. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/691#post-3644 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:00:12 +0000 twiz 3644@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Agreed.</p> <p>This is one of two things that keep me from switching from NotePad++, the other being document compare. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/911#post-2851 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:15:06 +0000 simon 2851@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback!

Especially, _simple_ find in files(maybe incremental), and a simple shell extension for opening different file formats like Notepad++ does: "Edit with PN" button.

It sounds very encouraging so I think I'll progress with using PN. An example of an item of markup syntax that I need to hightlight would be a list like this, eg:</p> <p> :Name: John Smith<br /> :Address: 50 Church Road<br /> :Tel: 01899 00898</p> <p>I want to be able to hightlight the label in bold. The regex I use is... </p> <p> ^\t+:.*?:\s+</p> <p>Anchor to start of line<br /> Followed by at least one tab<br /> Followed by a colon<br /> Followed by any string<br /> Followed by a colon<br /> Followed by one or more space characters</p> <p>Could this be implemented in PN?</p> <p>Rob Wheeler </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/645#post-2334 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:26:00 +0000 simon 2334@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi Rob,</p> <p>1. Currently PyPN allows you to add entries to the Scripts window. PN now supports extending the menu as well, this just hasn't been added to PyPN yet. No reason why it can't be supported.</p> <p>2. You can do everything that text clips can from PyPN - you have full access to the edit control (Scintilla) which has a very rich API.</p> <p>3. There is currently no regex-based parser like in EditPad, but there are various ways of supporting different languages. Perhaps if you could post a sample of your code we can work out the best way to get highlighting.</p> <p>4. Yes, a script entry or menu item would let you do this easily. PN also supports a project properties system that allows you to specify extra properties for the user to set on a project. These are then stored in the XML file along with the rest of the project details. This can be useful for storing and providing an interface for external tools settings.</p> <p>Simon. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/645#post-2331 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:27:56 +0000 redherring 2331@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi PN Users</p> <p>I have just written a lightweight markup language which I want to integrate within an editor and it seems to me from what I've read so far PN may be the product I am looking for. However, I'd just like to check that what I want to achieve is feasible within PN before I start out. Please note - I am not asking how to do any of this. I just want to know if any of it is possible.</p> <p>The markup looks quite a lot like wiki markup but with a lot more structures available. I'd like to be able to create an off-line WYSIWYM editor by adding a Python module to PN. The parsing program is currently written in Perl but I was planning to port it to Python anyway.</p> <p>These are my issues:</p> <p>(1) Would it be possible, using PyPN to create an additional menu bar to be displayed within PN or is the Tools collection the only way to run programs?</p> <p>(2) I could use the clips collections for the markup but some of what I want to do does not quite fit that paradigm. For instance I want to prepend a character to every line in a highlighted block and indent the whole block. I'm not clear how far Python will interface with the existing functions in PN? Am I asking too much?</p> <p>(3) I want to create a syntax coloring scheme. I've already done it within EditPad but that editor allows regular expressions to match patterns. That's quite important as my opening and closing tags are always the same so the pattern matching has to be quite sophisticated. From my cursory look at PN I can't see any regexs in the schemes.</p> <p>(4) The final operation will be to save the file, send it to the parser for translation, create the output file, save it to a default folder previously set up by the user and then finally open the output file in a browser. I would imagin that this last bit will be easy as it can all be done by a Python script kicked off by clicking a button of some sort.</p> <p>I hope I am not asking too much here but I am not minded to write an entire editor from scratch!</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Rob Wheeler<br /> Kent, UK </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/607#post-2318 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 08:33:20 +0000 simon 2318@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>SCM hooks would almost certainly be a larger job :) The reason PN didn't just host the explorer control originally is that it can be a slow beast and more complicated to customize and optimise than a natively written tree.
