Alex, thanks a lot for this great plugin!

I just like to ask for simple BAK file support.

file.txt ---> file.txt.bak

Hope you'll implement that some day.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lesmo

hm, .bak support not planned, as missed in most text editors
(I don't need it too.)

Here are some things I found today while working with Syn2.

In context menu (right mouse button): Option "Copy URL" doesn't work.
Is there any difference between "Copy" and "Copy as RTF"? It looks like both options do the same.

I checked "watch for folders" a bit more. It works really good. The only state when I got an exception is if currently opened file is deleted in background.

Option "Copy URL" doesn't work

yes, thanks. It works only when url is shown in statusbar
I try to fix it

difference between "Copy" and "Copy as RTF"?

yes, if you check "Paste" in WordPad.

exception is if currently opened file is deleted in background.

oh, thanks. Will try to fix

Fixed. //upload tomorrow

Both problems are fixed. Excellent work.

I found out that "ask to overwrite read only files" only warns in plugin mode. Exe-mode gives no warning message.

Is "HTML Autocomplete" implemented yet? How to use it? Btw. it's not really important for me. So there is no hurry for implementing it.

What means "Use custom search dialog"? I think there is no difference between search dialogs if option is enabled or disabled.

Thank you for spend your time and energy for this project! New version is very stable and much more usable than old v2.04 version.

- What means "Use custom search dialog"?
try to call Lister: Edit- Find/ Find next. it may use old style dialog. Ctrl-F always uses new style (if not changed to "Lister find" action.)
I like doing this Syn

Ah, ok. I always use CRTL+F, so I didn't see the difference.

yes. You need to edit .html, and type some tag: <table>..

Matthias030 · Post by *Matthias030 » 2010-04-06, 14:25 UTC

Hmm. Indeed it's really working. I don't know why it was not working before. I have deactivated Autocomplete and activated it again and now it is working. I have no idea what was my problem before.

Edit: First I have tested HTML-Autocomplete only with an empty file. To get Autocomplete work, <HTML> and </HTML>-Tags must be present and XHTML-Lexer must be selected. Also after enabling Autocomplete you have to restart application to get it work. But these things are not important and must not be changed.

Would you like to update the syntax file, LexLib.LXL?

Will be updated after ECtl update.
