It has been a while since I looked here for new versions and this one impresses me. Native support for extensions without the need to install Python (and a nice text sorting extension) and native UTF-8 support, finally. You see, UTF-8 is the future, but already for years, so PNotepad was already late. ;-)</p> <p>If you only edit UTF-8 files everything is nice. But I also have many many old ANSI (1252) files, and it would be great to use PNotepad as all-purpose editor for both encodings. Here is why is that not yet possible:</p> <p>1. I want to create new files automatically in UTF-8. But when I set „Code Page“ to Unicode (UTF-8), all opened ANSI files (with automatc encoding recognition) are displayed wrong. The editor recognizes ANSI encoding and says so in status line, but instead of an „ü“ I only get a square with „FC“ written in it. So it seems a bug: the text window wants to display the text in UTF-8, but it is ANSI and it should be displayed so.<br /> That's really annoying. Either I can't open my old ANSI files properly or I manually have to change encoding from ANSI to UTF-8 on every single new-created document.</p> <p>2. There is still no easy conversion between encodings, which I proposed in July 2008: <a href="http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/443#post-1558" rel="nofollow">http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/443#post-1558</a><br /> And yes, I rechecked the behaviour. It's still the same. It would be so easy to implement an option to set/change the encoding in the save dialog window.</p> <p>I already created two bug reports (875 and 876) for these issues. Hopefully I'm waiting for them to be finished (at least 875). :-) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/334#post-1186 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:31:18 +0000 Fixxxer 1186@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hello, all. To cut to the quick, basically, I need help setting up a C compiler with PN2. Here's the whole story...</p> <p>I really want to get into programming AVR microcontrollers, so I figured that I'd need to learn C first (I'm using the Kernighan &#38; Ritchie book). I went ahead and installed the latest WinAVR package, which includes PN2, but my problem is that PN2 didn't come with a C compiler to compile small "learning" programs for DOS/Win...</p> <p>It was suggested that I install Dev-C++ v4, since it comes with a compiler that allows you to create .EXE files that can be run from DOS/Win. I did that, and it works great for all of the "practice" programs that I've been writing to help me learn C, but I REALLY hate the look and feel of Dev-C++ (and I LOVE the look/feel of PN2).</p> <p>So, the big question is, can anyone help me configure PN2 to use a C compiler that I can use to compile the programs that I write from my training book into .EXE files that can be executed in DOS/Win.? It may be a very basic question for some of you, but since I just started learning about C a few weeks ago (I still don't really know anything about compilers, makefiles, etc.), I really have no idea what needs to be done to make this work.</p> <p>I've tried searching the forums and the PN2 documentation, but I can't seem to find any step-by-step instructions on how to get a DOS/Win. C compiler set up in PN2. If anyone could spend a few minutes to help a newbie out, I would really appreciate it!</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> -Lee </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/254#post-910 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 08:31:42 +0000 mirkosoft 910@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Is it possible to open one file in two windows in np?<br /> Or in other words: is it possible to show to pieces of the same file at the same time in np?</p> <p>Thank you for a hint on this. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/173#post-621 Sat, 03 Mar 2007 02:18:49 +0000 fedoracore 621@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>hi there.<br /> well done, good sir! well done! :)</p> <p>very nice. lightweight but not <em>too</em> lightweight. love the text-clips -- again, very nicely done there. </p> <p>my wish-list item: give us something to integrate a "browser" a little more easily. here's what i've got for Seamonkey, but it's not doing quite what i want.It opens the browser. :)<br /> but the URL is all "URL encoded", so it requires editing, and the full path i suppose is NOT what i want either... but it's "close".</p> <blockquote cite="This Users Settings"><p><code> <a href="http://localhost/$(ProjectPath)%f" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/$(ProjectPath)%f</a> </code> </p></blockquote> <p>hmph-- i suppose <em>you don't need to do anything</em> there-- it's really on "we", the users to go w/ that-- and it's awesome the way you've got that part of it setup, don't get me wrong (as one who deals w/ stuff in linux where you actually have to open up a dot-properties file, and make changes in there-- your "tools" window in comparison is a godsend-- but maybe add a Prog. Variable to reference the httpd:htdocs path? i realize you've not necessarily targeted web dev'rs here, and that's admirable, but perhaps that one little bit wouldn't hurt? not sure how you'd do it-- haha-- obviously!!</p> <p>thanks again. and thanks for offering it for such a great price!!!<br /> i was using EditPlus in my QuickLaunch -- but integrating it w/ FileZilla, and to have that Nag-Screen coming up all the time (yeah, i'm an ass, and i didn't buy it yet. i do plan to, honest!) -- it's make the on-the-fly-editing of web docs a little less "easy". i think i'm going to switch my Filezilla prefs to open PNpad instead. ;)</p> <p>thanks! woot! woot!! ::sounds of crowd cheering in bground:: ...</p> <p>PS. I tried installing PNPad under WinE on Linux ( winehq.org ), but it didn't work. i think the error i get is something about the sys having a hard time w/ the C+ library and compiling error (if i recall correctly, as i'm on WinXP presently). i'd love to have it available to me there (i know that might sound silly w/ all the great linux text-editors, etc...)<br /> that's just an FYI-- i wouldn't expect you to care about the WinE-o's. :) </p>
