Sorry. Colors you set for individual file is stored in PSCache.bin file.
You need to activate option Save file state in the program settings / Files and
dirs

But remember, if you use old and new PSPad together, they have different version
number for this file. It means new PSpad will delete this file created with old
PSPad and vice versa.

The issue here is:

* set margins to free-form reference-format (0/0/255)
* add the text to a file --> everything is nice
* close and reopen PsPad --> the ending of the first string is not recognized
any more
* manually edit anything in the offending line --> the ending of the first
string is recognized again [I did not test this today but I guess this still
works]

I've just re-tried this after years on a completely different machine where
Pspad was never used before - the old bug is still in.

Search: small bug [68429]

[Massimo Balestra]

I found a small bug in version 5.0.0 (163).
I don't know if it is a problem only of the translations or a more general
problem. I tried with the English localization and the Italian: it behaves in
the same way.

1) I open a file.
2) Then Search-->find (I have a shortcut with Ctrl+F for this)
3) I write a string in the search field i.e. john.
4) I press enter. It finds the first occurrence of john.
5) I press F3 (Find Next) several times until it reaches the last occurrence in
the document.
6) I press F3 again.
7) An alert popup appears saying: Next occurrence of "" not found. Continue
search ...
The problem is that between the quote it is empty and it should contain the
string I wrote at point 3 (john) or at least part of it.
The same empty string in the popup appears if at point 3 I write something that
cannot be found.

It is very useful to have in that popup alert the string I was looking for in
the case I rerun the same search (just pressing F3) later or in a different
file: it tells me if I a running the right search.

Thank you for the great program you wrote and you are maintaining.
(I can't wait to see it with the new Engine)

A bug in text formatting [68427]

[Jeepo]

Hello! This bug we can see when we use "Trim trailing spaces" (Program settings
-> Editor (part 1)) and "Real tabs" (Program settings -> Editor (part 2))
together.

Create a new file, press the button "Show/hide spaces, tabs & line ends" on the
toolbar. Then press keys [A], [Tab] and [B]. We expect a real tab between "a"
and "b", don't we? But instead a tab we see a sequence of spaces. If we will
turn "Trim trailing spaces" off, everything will be OK - we will see a tab
between "a" and "b". This problem moves from version to version and I hope that
finally it will be corrected.

Please consider changing the caption (including the German translation) and

I think PSPad behave correctly.
As default end of the area is set to position 71. But your string ends on the
100 position. If you want to use longer lines, go to highlighter settings and
increase end of code to e.g. 110 on the specification tab.

Sounds good. Can you please add a tooltip "URL or PATH to HTML/htm/chm, use
%word% for replacement under cursor" to the iput field and reword the help
entry? I've looked three times and my mind always skipped the "local or
web-address" part because the sentence starts with "Enter Path to help file" (an
URL is neither a part nor a help file). It is likely a good idea to add two
samples (one path and one URL).

The German translation made it even worse in this case, the English title is
"Help File" (confusing as noted above) the German title in 163 would be
translated to "Language specific help file (*.chm for ALT+F1)", not an input
field you'd enter an URL in.

External help as URL address

There was a broken functionality - %word% wasn't send to browser.

Especially for Cobol where keywords are UPPERCASE you need to send it in
lowercase form.

Add user-defined highlighter based on built-in language [68412]

[human]

Is there any option to add some preprocessor symbols to PSPad for built-in
languages like COBOL? I'd like to keep everything but only add some non-standard
parts like "%mymacro(myparam, myparam)" or :mymacro param param2. Highlighting
"%mymacro( )" or ":mymacro" would help to  recognize it faster and it helps to
directly see if it is written correctly.

I may have reported this minor glitch before in the COBOL language settings

be "free-form" and "fixed-form", maybe add a tooltip "set areas to defaults for

Out of curiosity: What compiler do you use? The source doesn't look that big

Hi Human, we use isCOBOL from Veryant (www.veryant.com). Really, the source code
in this example isn't so big, but we use a lot of copybooks and the compilation
of our programs takes from 30 seconds to 3 minutes or more. Our developers are
accustomed to continue their work while compilation run in background, this is
