Since this blog is supposed to be about my software, I thought maybe I should post some info about development status.

Done [for next release]

1. fixed UTF-8 auto detection problem - was stuffing up with consecutive characters
2. enabled find in read-only mode
3. fixed ctrl-tab switching to be more consistent
4. fixed minor issue when opening from a shortcut
5. fixed problem with launching from a command line [was causing problems for disk space check]
6. improved file history, sharing list across all open windows
7. got rid of auto extension adding to non-recognized file types
8. fixed find-again issue with end of file not being updated after text changes
9. added window list and window close all
10. added hot key for open new window in all file open modes [hold down shift]
11. added FTP support with smart options for password handling [too easy to screw up though, see below]
12. fixed: using line end symbol $ in regexps doesn’t detect \r\n in CRLF mode [only \n]
13. fixed: line selection & syntax hilighting wraps back to end of previous line when formatting characters are visible [cosmetic]
14. scroll thumb is proportional for small documents [allow line based mode for files smaller than X, byte position otherwise]
15. supports legacy copy/paste/cut keys
16. Supports OLE drag/drop, which was an utter pain to implement, so I hope someone actually uses it [i never use drag and drop between applications]
17. Got rid of unsightly temporary font size change when printing
18. Improved navigation speed for stupidly large files [and files with stupidly long lines]
19. search/replace updates text in the status bar
20. added count to find dialog
21. Simplified Read Only file handling, bringing it into line with convention
22. Fixed crashing when viewing certain binary files in text mode [uncommon, and file specific]
23. fixed annoying problem with null terminated files being loaded as binary

To Do [some of which may make it into next release]

1. force fixed font in binary viewing mode— proportional looks stupid
2. google/web/dictionary search from selection?
3. auto refresh seems to sometimes reload files without good reason
4. file history needs to avoid binary and other uncommon files, and perhaps even files quick loaded via the alt-pg method
5. FTP mode needs to create a local copy as well [so as to avoid overwriting issues]
6. user definable syntax colors
7. user definable accelerator keys
8. user definable options [property sheets!] eg: defaults, codepages, encodings etc
9. wrap by characters [user configurable, eg 80 character]
10. middle mouse button pan-style scrolling
11. persistent undo? tests ok, we’ll see…
12. using alt-page-up and -down to scan similar filetypes floods the recent file list inappropriately
13. more comprehensive syntax hilighting / profiles… maybe try creating a smarter PHP config which can correctly parse/hilight both HTML and PHP in the same file?
14. Improve robustness of bookmarks, which tend to get jiggled about too much by editing [may be fixed already??? — needs further testing!]
15. unicode fields for find/replace

Comments & suggestions [+ extra bug reports] are welcome!
