Updated: PowerGREP 4.3.3

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:00:00 +0700

PowerGREP 4.3.3 is now available for download.

This release fixes another two bugs we missed in previous 4.3.x releases. Actions that wrote search matches from multiple files to the same target file such as "merge files" actions failed with a "stream read error". Renaming files in archives failed with an "incorrect function error" (4.3.x only). This broke "rename files" actions as well as actions that modified files inside archives and stored backup copies inside the same archives.

An older bug was also fixed. Renaming a file in an archive to a name already used by another file in the archive now removes the other file from the archive rather than resulting in two files with the same name in the archive. This makes renaming files in archives consistent with renaming files that are not in archives.

Updated: RegexBuddy 3.5.5

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:00:00 +0700

RegexBuddy 3.5.5 is now available for download.

The "Update Automatically" option on the Test tab is now preserved when you restart RegexBuddy even when you have chosen not to preserve test data in the Preferences. "Update Automatically" now switches to the last used Match/Replace/Split testing command when switching between Match/Replace/Split modes, instead of sticking a testing command that is not available in the current Match/Replace/Split mode.

A few corner case bugs were also fixed. The version history has the complete list.

Updated: RegexMagic 1.2.5

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:00:00 +0700

RegexMagic 1.2.5 is now available for download.

In previous versions of RegexMagic, the Match and Action panels did not always rearrange their contents correctly when the panels or RegexMagic itself were resized on some computers. Version 1.2.5 fixes this in most situations. If the problem still occurs on your PC, make sure all the options to preserve RegexMagic's state are checked on the Operation tab in the Preferences. Then close RegexMagic and restart it. All your data will be preserved and all the panels will be laid out correctly when RegexMagic restarts.

Updated: DeployMaster 4.0.7

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:00:00 +0700

DeployMaster 4.0.7 is now available for download.

This release fixes one bug that we missed in version 4.0.6. Version 4.0.6 fixed several bugs related to silent installations, but unfortunately also introduced a new bug. Silent installs of installers built with version 4.0.6 did not properly substitute built-in placeholder folders such as %PROGRAMFILES% causing files and folders to be installed into the root of the drive that the setup was run from. Rebuilding your installer with version 4.0.7 will make silent installs use the proper folders again.

Updated: DeployMaster 4.0.6

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:00:00 +0700

DeployMaster 4.0.6 is now available for download.

This release fixes two bugs in the installers that DeployMaster 4.0.x generates when running them with the /silent command line parameter to perform a silent installation. If you turned on the option on the Appearance page to cover the whole screen's background, then the installer would crash upon startup when run with /silent. If you specified a Support DLL on the Project page, the installer did not use the DLL at all when running it with /silent. Because of the latter bug, the installer for the licensed version of DeployMaster 4.0.x itself did not install the license key when installed silently, causing DeployMaster to ask for your user ID the first time you ran it. If you created installers with DeployMaster 4.0.x that use the option to cover the screen background or that need a support DLL, then you should rebuild those installers with DeployMaster 4.0.6 to make sure your customers don't run into trouble when they use the /silent command line parameter.

On the 3rd Party tab, if you selected one of the .NET versions and you specified a .NET installer file but you did not specify a .NET download URL was specified then the generated installer crashed upon startup. If your installer needs .NET and you don't have your own download page for the .NET framework, you can use http://www.deploymaster.com/dotnetfx.html as the URL for the .NET framework. If you click this link in your browser, it will list all .NET versions that DeployMaster supports. But when this link is launched from your installer, it will list only the .NET version that your installer needs.

Also on the 3rd Party tab, selecting one of the .NET options without specifying a .NET installer no longer causes an error about the file name of the generated setup being the same as that of a 3rd party setup when one of the file names for the setups to generate on the Media tab is blank.

Updated: JGCSCSE 4.1.1

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:00:00 +0700

If you own EditPad Pro 7 or PowerGREP 4, you can now download version 4.1.1 of the Just Great Software Syntax Coloring Scheme Editor. With this tool you can adapt the syntax coloring in these applications, and even create new schemes for previously unsupported programming languages and file formats. You can select them in Options|Configure File Types|Colors and Syntax in EditPad Pro 7 and in the Syntax Colors section in the Preferences in PowerGREP 4.

Version 4.1.1 fixes a bug in the new feature for copying whole subschemes that we introduced in version 4.1.0 that caused the scheme editor to crash.

Updated: JGCSCSE 4.1.0

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:00:00 +0700

If you own EditPad Pro 7 or PowerGREP 4, you can now download version 4.1.0 of the Just Great Software Syntax Coloring Scheme Editor. With this tool you can adapt the syntax coloring in these applications, and even create new schemes for previously unsupported programming languages and file formats. You can select them in Options|Configure File Types|Colors and Syntax in EditPad Pro 7 and in the Syntax Colors section in the Preferences in PowerGREP 4.

The installer for the syntax coloring scheme editor now automatically detects the folder into which you have installed EditPad Pro 7 or PowerGREP 4 (in that order), and uses it as the default installation folder for the scheme editor. If you are upgrading from version 4.0.0 of the syntax coloring scheme editor, then the installer will use the folder you installed it into previously as the default. In any case you can change the installation folder via the Advanced Options Installation button in the installer.

You can now copy and paste entire subschemes within the same syntax coloring scheme or between different syntax coloring schemes. To copy a subscheme, use the drop-down menu of the Cut or Copy button on the toolbar. To paste a subscheme, click the Paste button. You will be given the choice whether the pasted subscheme should be added to your syntax coloring scheme or whether it should replace the active subscheme.

In order to facilitate copying and pasting interdependent subschemes, the scheme editor now allows non-existent subschemes to be specified in the "subscheme" setting of each scheme element. So you can paste multiple subschemes one by one and all references between those subschemes will automatically be preserved. You can save syntax coloring schemes that have scheme elements that reference non-existent subschemes. But if you try to preview such a scheme, the scheme editor will point to such scheme elements with an error message. EditPad Pro and PowerGREP will not recognize such schemes at all. So make sure you can successfully preview your schemes in the scheme editor before trying to use them with EditPad Pro or PowerGREP.

The color drop-down lists now show the names of the color elements with the actual colors used by the preview. The Options button above the preview now lets you choose any of the default color palettes as well as any custom color palette configured in EditPad Pro 7 or the syntax colors configured in PowerGREP 4.

When you rotate the mouse wheel in the syntax coloring scheme editor, and the preview editor at the bottom doesn't have keyboard focus, then the scheme editor now scrolls through the syntax elements rather than changing the value of whichever drop-down list happens to have keyboard focus.

Opening a scheme via the drop-down menu of the Open button now correctly prompts to save unsaved changes.

Updated: JGFNSE 2.1.0

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:00:00 +0700

If you own EditPad Pro 7 or PowerGREP 4, you can now download version 2.1.0 of the Just Great Software File Navigation Scheme Editor. This is the tool that you can use to create your own file navigation schemes, or edit any of the schemes supplied with EditPad Pro or PowerGREP. You can select them in Options|Configure File Types|Navigation in EditPad Pro 7 and in the Editor section in the Preferences in PowerGREP 4. EditPad Pro 7 uses file navigation schemes to bring the File Navigator in the View menu to life, and to add automatic folding points. PowerGREP 4 uses them for automatic folding points only.

The installer for the file navigation scheme editor now automatically detects the folder into which you have installed EditPad Pro 7 or PowerGREP 4 (in that order), and uses it as the default installation folder for the scheme editor. If you are upgrading from version 2.0.0 of the file navigation scheme editor, then the installer will use the folder you installed it into previously as the default. In any case you can change the installation folder via the Advanced Options Installation button in the installer.

When you rotate the mouse wheel in the file navigation scheme editor, and the preview tree or editor at the bottom don't have keyboard focus, then the scheme editor now scrolls through the various parts of the syntax coloring scheme rather than changing the value of whichever drop-down list happens to have keyboard focus.

Updated: EditPad Pro 7.1.1

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:00:00 +0700

EditPad Pro 7.1.1 is now available for download.

While EditPad Lite is only officially supported on Windows, it runs well enough on Linux using WINE. Version 7.1.0 failed to run under WINE, crashing at startup. Version 7.1.1 fixes this. Double-clicking files on the Files Panel no longer causes an access violation when running under WINE.

A few other bugs were also fixed. A significant one was that when searching though the files on disk took long enough for a progress meter to appear, EditPad failed to close the progress meter after searching through all the files, making further interaction with EditPad impossible.

If you already purchased EditPad Pro 7.x.x, you can download this minor upgrade for free.
If you have EditPad Pro 4, 5, or 6, you can upgrade to version 7 at a special price.

Updated: AceText 3.0.1

Mon, 2 Jan 2012 18:00:00 +0700

AceText 3.0.1 is now available for download. This release fixes a few issues we missed in AceText 3.0.0, last month's major upgrade.

When you click the X button to close AceText, it doesn't shut down completely. It keeps running in the background so that text you copy to the clipboard can be captured into the ClipHistory, and the AcePaste and AceType hotkeys continue to work. Version 3.0.0 failed to hide the AceText taskbar button in certain situations when you clicked the X button.

The Find First, Find Next, and Find Previous buttons on the Clipboard tab now scroll the text as necessary when finding a search match. Previously the Clipboard tab would find all search matches, but failed to scroll the text, making it look as if nothing was found if the part of the text that the match was found in was scrolled out of view.

If you select a conversation or message in AceText's built-in user forum and press Ctrl+C, an URL pointing to that conversation or message is copied to the clipboard. If you paste that link into a message on the forum, it will now be highlighted as a link. Double-clicking the link will activate the message. The discussion links at the bottom of each help file topic now also open AceText's forum.

AceText uses a .chm file to provide context-sensitive help. This is the standard help system for modern Windows applications. Due to a bug in Internet Explorer 9, if a 64-bit application requests context-sensitive help using a .chm file, and you click on a link in that help file, the calling application will crash. To work around this, we've disabled context-sensitive help in the 64-bit version of AceText if you have Internet Explorer 9 installed on your PC. Pressing F1 will still open the help file, but it will show the first page in the help file, rather than the page that describes the part of AceText you're using.

Updated: AceText 2.2.4

Mon, 5 Dec 2011 12:00:00 +0700

AceText 2.2.4 is now available for download. This is the last release of AceText that is compatible with Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows NT4. It fixes 3 minor bugs:

Printouts were sometimes missing lines across page boundaries depending on whether you chose to print headers and/or footers.
Right-clicking on collection tabs did not show the context menu specific to the tab but instead showed AceText's main context menu (2.2.3 only).
Searching backwards did not always work correctly.

Updated: HelpScribble 7.8.1

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:00:00 +0700

HelpScribble 7.8.1 is now available for download.

HelpScribble's HelpContext property editor now supports Delphi XE2 and C++Builder XE2. HelpScribble's installer will automatically install it if it detects that you have Delphi XE2 or C++Builder XE2 installed. HelpScribble's HelpContext property editor can assign HelpContext properties to controls in Win32 VCL applications, Win64 VCL applications, and FireMonkey applications (all platforms).

Delphi XE2 and C++Builder XE2 include a new framework called FireMonkey. This is an alternative to the VCL. Its main benefit is that it supports both Windows and OS X. FireMonkey controls have HelpContext properties just like VCL controls, and you can assign them using HelpScribble's HelpContext property editor. Unfortunately, the FireMonkey framework does not actually have a context-sensitive help system. FireMonkey itself does not use those HelpContext properties at all. If you want context-sensitive help in your FireMonkey application, you'll need to respond to F1 key presses in your own code. If you want to show a .chm file, call the HtmlHelp() function declared in the WinApi.Windows unit.

HelpScribble's Contents Editor now allows topics to be indented under another topic when compiling into HTML Help format. In the HTML Help file, topics that have topics under them will appear as headers that also show their topic when clicked on.

One bug was also fixed. Buttons are now correctly exported to web help.
