pspad: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, there is no problem to remove Ctrl+Z (1A) from HEX file detection. I will do it for next build.
Automatic binary file detection is something what offer PSPad above the normal usage, it's not normal text editor functionality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for considering this. I have no problem with the basic concept of implementing binary file detection and to switch in Hex mode for that. That is in fact a feature that I use on a lot of occasions, as that allows me to avoid opening up another program to inspect a file in hex mode. It's just that I am working with computers (and programming) long enough that I don't consider a text file ending with a Ctrl-Z (or padded to a 128-bytes sector with 1Ah, in case of a lot of files that come out of an LBR archive file) something unusual. I think this is just a special case that should be considered as such. It is just rather unfortunate that there are a lot of people (no personal offense intended, to make this crystal clear) that just don't recall the days when dealing with Ctrl-Z was a normal occurrence, even when DOS didn't need it anymore, at least since v2.0. And even Linux fanbois complain about it, even though Ctrl-Z in pretty much all shell implementations has a special meaning as well. Unfortunate signs of "modern" times. Again, thanks for considering this, Ralf -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,77687,77725> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
