miki: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Down side is that SynEdit nor it's enhanced fork LetterPress looks not in development any more, so there's pretty much no chance for PSPad to ever get code folding or other useful features in the future... :-/
Months ago I found Scintilla and AvalonEdit to rework PSPad for .NET as open source, but is's HUGE! Tons and tons of features. And I don't think It's a good idea either, but I'm worried there is some big problem in PSPad development and Mr. Fiala stated couple times he's not going to release PSPad's source code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the code explorer window, I can do without code-folding - in fact, I think it's a better approach: you still see all of your code but, at the same time, you can jump to any important position in your code that you want. I don't really like code-folding all that much, anyway - out of sight, out of mind; too easy to miss or forget things in large code sections. I don't remember what PSPad is coded in but I don't think that PSPad should be redone as a .Net app, either. While many people think that Microsoft IDEs are the best in the business, you don't want to tie PSPad to any one technology or operating system. Better to code it in a more versatile and widely accepted language like Python or some version of C - I hesitate to recommend Java because it has performance issues, especially on older machines. Jan has also said to me that he has no intention of releasing the code but things change. He hasn't released a new beta since last August - maybe he's in a bind right now and is more willing to accept help. It can't hurt to offer. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,59546,60023> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
