-
- New Features in 1.11
- -------------------
- • The Search & Replace routines have been expanded to include two new options
- whose default values are settable from the DDAT resource but can be changed
- at any time from the Find Dialog:
- Case Sensitive Searching
- Whole Word (Token) Searching
- (Note: The defaults for both of these options is FALSE )
-
- • There is now an optional AutoSave feature which can be configured to the
- number of keystrokes that must be typed between each save. The default for
- this option is TRUE every 250 keystrokes. Please note that the maximum number
- of keystrokes that you can define is 255. This will be extended in the next
- version.
-
- • We now save the font, size and tab information in the document.
-
- • Include… now allows you to include one file inside of another. Just
- select the file and a copy of it will be inserted at the current insertion
- point.
-
- • The Find dialog box now has a Don't Find button. This is useful for
- setting the search/replace values without doing a search.
-
- • The File Information dialog now returns a CORRECT WORD COUNT!
-
- • Balancing will select the bounding parens of the current selection. This
- works exactly like the command as of the same name in Lightspeed C. At the
- present moment only {}'s and ()'s are used as Parens. There are also some
- "Documented Features" about Balancing which I hope to fix sometime soon, as
- well as expanding this to support user definable Parens.
-
- • There is now a method by which you can set the default Find and Replace Items.
- There is a resource of type STR# in the DA file which consists of two items —
- The first one is the Find string the second is the Replace string. ∑Edit
- comes configured with the settings set to do LF->CR replacement.
-
- • If you hold down the option key when the DA first opens you can bypass the
- SFGetFile dialog and open to a blank document!!!
-
- • There is now an Options menu item which will allow you to set some of
- the default settings for ∑Edit. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to
- put the 'Save Settings' button in that dialog yet, and I wanted to get this
- version out on the streets. There will be a 1.12 that adds this features of
- saving the settings, sorry for the delay.
-
- • You can now print the text in your window as PostScript. This means that
- instead of sending the text in the window to the printer as text it will be
- sent as Postscript instructions to the printer. I do not (though I should)
- check to see if the printer is a Postscript compatable device (as there is
- no way that I know of to do so), so you have to promise me you won't try to
- send Postscript text to an Imagewriter. The other thing to note is that you
- can not Print as Postscript under MultiFinder's Background printer. I believe
- that this is Apple's problem and not mine, as I am following there rules!
-
- • New About Box (it's supposed to be in color, but it's not!)
-
- Bugs Fixed
- ----------
- • WE NOW WORK WITH LIGHTSPEED PASCAL!!!! The problem was due to poor memory
- management on my part, and I have fixed it so enjoy the combo of ∑Edit and
- Lightspeed.
-
- • THE ABOUT BOX REALLY WORKS NOW!! What had happened before was that when I
- thought it was fixed in 1.1, I was looking at the wrong piece of code...Well,
- it works now!!
-
- • Fixed a bug (that no one except me found) having to do with Shift/Cmd Up/Down
- Arrows.
-
- • Fixed the Menu Highlighting bug.
-
- • Fixed the Incorrect Tab Spacing bug!!
-
- • Fixed a bug which I introduced which may have caused occasional hanging.
-
- • Fixed the 'File Manager Error: -43' problem that was happening when you saved
- a document for the first time.
-
- • Fixed some MAJOR bugs in the Search/Replace routines!
-
- • Finally fixed the problem with pasting values into the Find/Replace dialog,
- everything now works just fine!!
