I do have problems using the "Replace" (Ctrl+H) option. I want to step through a script and decide on every hit if the found string has to be replaced or not just by hitting the "Replace" button.
The Find... box always reverts to the background
The found hit is always ignored and the next hit is replaced. Pushing the replace button should replace the selected text and select the next hit. Pushing Replace when nothing is selected should just select the first hit and wait for the next push on the "Replace" button.
I'll take a look at the HTML export for the HTML like tags but thats someone elses program I integrated so I don't know how much I will be able to change that. The only other issue is the Find dialog will get behind the program if you do a find or replace as mentioned. You can work around it but if I get a chance I'll try to fix it. 2100+ downloads so far though so people are definately using it.
I'm still amazed at the number of downloads of both the full install and the update, since my last post the install has been downloaded another 1000 times and the updates a additional 600.
I've decided to stop working on this officialy (I've obviously stopped unofficially) and put out one more update which will fix the replace issues Wito was having and also keep the find dialog with focus, and if it loses focus it will get it back on a CTRL+F or CTRL+H. I'm also adding in the GPL decloration and opening the source code to downloads. Both the full install, the update (check for updates within your software), and the source code are now available at http://www.thatguyssoftware.com/ . Thanks to the couple of you that donated, it helped pay some of the hosting costs.
Once you update I suggest going into your options and turning off the "Check for program updates" as there most likely will no longer be any. I will still check the bug submissions and comments on this or any other progrma I've written but I doubt there will be any furthur work on this.
I'm sorry to hear you are not going to support this any longer. Had I used it I would have donated to the cause with money, but instead tried to help by putting it in my sig. Would you like me to remove it?
Thanks Allan (Dynes) for creating this editor, for adding to the Kixtart suite of "neat things" and for the support over the years. Good luck in future endeavors.
Your all welcome. Glad its being used by so many. I'm wasn't really a programmer when I started this, it was a side project for me to learn Visual Basic and since this program I've written a bunch more, some public, some for my employer, some for a online game I play ( EVE-Online...best game ever). I've learned a great deal about programming over the course of this software and hopefully by making it open source and releasing the source code other will learn a thing or two.
Its been moved to my small business site, which already hosts some of my other software. Needed to consolidate some sites...hosting and domain names were getting expensive. I'll update the post on kixtart.org tonight or tomorrow and get the old domain auto forwarded to the new one.
It's still available. Actually it was on both hosts for a while, if you google search "Kixtarter" you'd find it eventually...I need to tweak the content management software the new site is running on because the Kxtarter stuff isn't showing up on google yet making it hard to find. The new link is:
New version being released today, version 4.10, that will replace 4.03. Here is the change log for this version:
1. Upgraded development workstation from Visual Studio 2005 Professional SP1 to Visual Studio 2008 Standard SP1. 2. Updated all company references. 3. Removed the updater and associated code as this will be the last update to this software. 4. Modified the line numbering routine which should greatly reduce the flickering with larger files, especially when scrolling. 5. Made some small modifications to the coloring routine resulting in 20 – 40% faster execution.
Most people should see a nice speed boost over old version.
Somehow I'm still getting downloads of the help file and update directly, which I thought wouldn't happen on the new host. Possibly the site redirection is also redirecting the old app to the new site. Either way I updated the files on the server so they imform users with 4.03 and older that try to update that the new version is available on my site.
Glad its being used by so many. I'm wasn't really a programmer when I started this, it was a side project for me to learn Visual Basic and since this program I've written a bunch more, some public, some for my employer, some for a online game I play (
