Hi mgutt, quite a long text you've posted here. I will try to answer at least a few questions you have.
mgutt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _What I have found:_ - if a line ends with a whitespace the jump to the last char with the button "end" ends before this whitespace and not after it as expected -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you press the "end" button again, the cursor will jump behind the last whitespace. What you complain as an issue is in fact a useful feature which you will also find in Microsoft Visual Studio and other commercial and widely used software development tools. mgutt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _Nice to have:_ - able to open really big files (like 500+ MB logfiles) without bit performance issues (files greater than 20 mb are read partial in memory, so only the viewable part is loaded and a scrolling needs to access the file again) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are not the first to ask for this change. This is due to a limitation of the editor control PSPad is using. If you frequently have to edit such big files you should perhaps consider using UltraEdit. It handles big files just the way you are recommending here. Also, it supports code folding, another feature wich has been requested frequently and which PSPad doesn't support due to limitations of the editor control. UltraEdit's clear disadvantage is the annoying licensing strategy (you have to pay for any update which isn't just a bugfix, and it's rather expensive). mgutt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - remove google search -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You don't use it, so it should be removed? Don't you think there is more than one (your) way and different needs to using PSPad and its features? :-( mgutt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - does someone use bookmarks (in german "lesezeichen", don't know the english word), if not: remove this function. code explorer should be better than that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Same as I wrote to the google search item. Additionally I would like to point out that the code explorer and bookmarks (this is the correct english translation, and by the way, looking up the englisch terms of a menu item in PSPad is really simple: just switch the language to english in the settings dialog) do _not_ work the same way. With the code explorer, you can navigate to different function headers or declarations in the code of the file currently in the foreground, while with a bookmark you can jump to a particular line within the code of any file currently loaded. Bookmarks are extremely useful when you have to edit and frequently jump between several distinct positions within one or more files, and again this is a feature you will find in any commercial development tool and wich I would not like to miss. mgutt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - maybe it makes sense to analyze which functions are used by pspad users and which not. you could create statistics about selected windows/functions/settings of the program and sometimes the software checks your server for a newer version and parallel it sends this statistic data to your server, so you are able to decide which functions aren't useful or aren't accepted by the mass of users -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not quite sure whether you are aware that PSPad is mainly intended as an editor for developers. Most of the features you are complaining about or you want to be removed are frequently used standard for software developers. Anyway I think it's better to have 10 features you don't use than to miss 2 you really need. Also, most people (including my person) don't like software "phoning home" for whatever reason, and many are not even online when they use PSPad. Therefore I don't consider your function statistics a good idea. mgutt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]I would pay for this features (i donate 200,- EUR if they will be realized):[/b] - it is not possible to down- / upload images, zips and other files with the ftp client. Please add this feature. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why don't you use a dedicated ftp client to do this? PSPad is an editor which for convenience offers openng files via ftp, no more. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,49898,50240> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
