Why not simply use commandline copy + (or type >>) to copy the file on
to it self - as many times as you like?
Lack of free HD space (or time:)?

hehe, nothing like that unfortunately. I've been working my backside off
trying to add/modify everything everyone has mentioned, completely forgot I
could just append the file onto itself :blush:\

Cheers for reminding me ;o)

General
*******************

This release is ONLY a bug fix release, with the exception of the new menu
item. Unfortunately, the largest file I have to test it with is a 12MB file,
so have not been able to test it with anything larger than that.

Nice little app. However (and this is solely due to my munged-up install of
XP), I often drop shortcuts to favoured textviewing/editing apps into my
"SendTo" menu, and I find that v1.08 (of your 'ACF Notes') does not support (so
to speak) being added to the "SendTo" folder/menu.
Neither, apparently, will a appropriate text-file, dragged onto ACF Notes's
Desktop shortcut, open; I am seeing "Bad file name or number" (same as what's
up with the "SendTo" menu).

Other than the above, it's a very nice low-mem app :)

I have to edit very often, or that I do not have other and more

I'm not quite sure whats going on there. I tested the drag and drop on both
my 9x machine and my XP Pro one, and it worked without any problems....?. As
far as the "Send To" is concerned, I'll have to look into that.

Was your Install-directory using Long filenames ("C:\Program Files\ACF
Notes", for instance), or something in the SFN ("C:\ACF_Note") tradition?

I actually tested it with short/long/stupidly long paths.

The way I've got it at the moment, it loads the file line by line. This
minimizes the risk of errors occuring and prevents taking up all the memory
and/or resources when loading file's thus, it may take a bit longer to load
severely huge file's (such as the 256MB one, lol)

Seems to work fine here with Win2k.

install path:
H:\W32\EDIT\txt\acfnotes_F\acfn1_0_8.noinstall\ACF Notes.exe

As you can see I've used the no-install version.

I first noticed the "problem", w/the no-install one. Dunno what's going on...

I've just had a look and realised what you meant. Unfortunately, I have
absolutely no idea how to do what your wanting, other than re-writing my own
toollbar completely (at the moment, I'm using a standard toolbar, with my
own custom menu items).

Just an update, 1.07 on a large 2.3 MB file- It froze initially,
eventually opened it, but functions frozen, line numbers were a blacked
out area.

1.06 opened same file much quicker, functions ok.

This is on my computer, YMMV.

Mike, unfortunately, this was down to me. I changed the file open proc in
1.0.7 to try and make i a little simpler, but ended up having to change it
back in 1.0.8 as it developed problems with large file's. 1.0.8 now uses the
original procedure.

It was definitely not a new issue, and was intended to help Steve as he
evolves the program.

Since my post was still brief, including the posted text, your comment
is hardly necessary. I do snip on any post I consider long. If it does
not meet your standards, that's too bad, as I do try when it's
appropriate.

Steve, just ran 1.08. On a 2.3 MB file, the "reading line by line"
caused text scrolling permanently, used Task Manager to kill it.

Then I ran a 173 KB file, it did the same thing. (???)

I ran 1.06 and while it takes a moment to open the 2.3 file, it was
fine.

I've just tested it with a 2, 4 and 12MB file and it was fine (it scrolls
whilst it's loading the data, but never stopped once the data was loaded,
which is what it's meant to do)

Not clear to me- do you mean "never" above? once the data is loaded it
"never" stops scrolling? That *is* what I saw.

(e-mail address removed) (jsimlo):
try to use "extended replace" (from tools menu) in ted notepad:
- it works with actual selection
- does it faster than standart replace all
- works with multiple lines of "find what"/"replace with"
- undoes all at once, as you wished... ;)

http://jsimlo.sk/notepad/

Ooops, overlooked. Plus I see that Ted Notepad's extended replace dialog
has that multiline "block replace" feature, a special treat.

Uhm, on a general functional matter, I found a problem. File size it
handles. In a recent thread here, you answered someone that it is not
designed to have any limit in this area. So maybe this is called a bug.
I'm finding the max size is under ~40k for what it will open. On W98SE.

I tested pretty adequately. It was my inctrl5 logs mainly I used in trying
to get size range where it would start complaining, but I handed it other
text files too. I'd wonder about my supporting libraries? Yet I should
mention another note: just this week, I happened to do a tour (looking
further into the SR variations) where I'd launched a very great number
of editors, giving each a 150k file. And only two of those complained,
ones designed with the limit.

I checked versions 2x, 3x, 4x of Ted Notepad. All the same error. Tried
it mainly on opening files, but same thing with a large clipboard. There
are three messages in succession:

Edit window out of space.

Length of the file differs from length of the loaded text. The file
contains some unprintable characters, or was not loaded completely.

Cannot read file [rpt_925.txt]!


I'm very interested in Ted Notepad, so hope this is a bug that can be fixed.
If there's any test for me to run, or specific details to provide, which
would help to this end, let me know.

Mike,
No, that was actually my being too tired to think properly. The
scrolling stopped once the file was loaded.
