TotalEdit File Editor Beta

Preview the next version of TotalEdit

TotalEdit Version 5.0.2 Beta

TotalEdit Version 5.0 is almost ready for release and here is a pre-release version avaiable for you to try. I would like to thank everyone who has provided feedback on bugs and functionality requests, which I have tried to cater for inside of this release.

Even though this preview has been labelled a Beta I believe it to be ready for general use. There are a handful of additional features that I want to add namely the ability to remember bookmarks and code-fold positions between closing and opening a file.

I hope you enjoy the preview and I believe it to be the best yet.

Changes and fixes with each beta:

Version 5.0.3

Enable or disable the long line marker from inside of the editor properties window

Default text color selector in the syntax color editor would remain black

Prevent searches of zero length strings in the Find-in-Files

Add an option to the Find-in-Files to includes files larger than 5Mb

Default syntax color settings will now be applied to the Hex Editor

USB Version of the beta release is now available

Version 5.0.2

TotalEdit would crash if the Find-in-Files dialog window was closed during a search

Enhanced syntax color editor to nominate a default text color

Version 5.0.1

Syntax color editor crashed if a filter was not selected

Key Features with version 5.0.0:

	Redesign of the syntax-coloring functionality to make is easier to color documents and change the background.
	Fixed bug preventing the entering of non-Latin 1 characters such as those found in Central-Europe and Asia.
	Large log file support where you can open the first or last 1Mb of a file.
	TotalEdit will now run as a single instance so that opening multiple files from Windows Explorer will not lead to many copies of the application being run.
	Code explorer and code folding update for Visual Basic script developers.
