SynWrite (Syn2)

I may put cursor to screen- just before before CtrlW execution

[Matthias030]

Hmm. I don't know if this is a good idea. If you edit a document, you may want to leave the cursor at any position. So while editing in position A, if you scroll down to read any other part of document, press CtrlW, it is easier to go back to cursor position A to continue editing.

I try to save "Top Line" property (before CtrlW)

About copy_as_rtf pls see how it"s done in ectl demo (econtrol.ru)

You made it very good. Works best!

In demo there is only one context menu entry named "Copy". In options you can define if RTF or standard text is copied.

For Syn2 there are 2 possibilities:
1. Do it identical as in Ectl demo. Entry "Copy as RTF" in context menu can be removed.
2. CTRL+C does what defined in configuration options. Context Menu "Copy as RTF" copies always RTF. Context Menu "Copy" copies alway standard text. For better understanding "Copy" could be renamed to "Copy as Text".

2. is better option, I think. But with 1. I would be happy too.

[Alextp]

Ill do it as 1.

1. Here is another little bug I found today. If you press on a hyperlink in Syn your webbrowser is opening. After switching back to Syn the text selection mode is enabled. This happens when you move the mouse a little bit in the same moment you press the mouse button. I made an animated image file for better understanding:

2. I have seen that php autocomplete is also included. So you could rename the string in configuration options to "Use internal HTML/PHP Autocomplete". Btw. by using autocomplete dialog, it is not possible to select an entry by mouse. Autocomplete only works with keyboard.

3. Is it possible to give Syn2 new icons for a nicer look? There are only a few icons there and I think it should not be comlicated to find some nicer ones.

Thanks!

1 Cannot confirm (XP Sp3)..
3 Where to find icons? if you give me some, I may implement them in exe, didn't visit icon sites for ages

[Alextp]

1 - can confirm.Not reproduced in EC demo, so ll be ok in update

[Matthias030]

You are right. In EC demo this problem doesn't occur.

For the icons: I have looked into some icon packs from totalcmd.net X-Qute is very nice. Also interesting and free for use ist Tango Icon Project: http://tango.freedesktop.org As I could see you are already using these icons in Universal Viewer. Maybe you can implement the option to use an external icon-library (icl, dll, ..) instead of internal exe integration. So it is easy to change icons or create iconpacks.

[Alextp]

I thought you talk about main icon. Not about all of em

[Matthias030]

Please don't change the main icon. That one looks very nice. i love it

[Matthias030]

Please don't change the main icon. That one looks very nice.

I like the 32x32 main icon. In Windows 7 this icon is used per default in taskbar. In Windows XP / 2000 the 16x16 icon is used instead. Also the 16x16 icon appears in application title bar. But the 16x16 icon is ugly
So I have created a new 16x16 icon from the good looking 32x32 one. Decide yourself if you like it. You can get it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/376067335/Syn2_Mainicon.ico.html

(In Icon File both icons 16x16 and 32x32 are included)

I like it. Maybe 256 color one needed too
