AutoHotkey Community

@HotkeyIt I erased the files - including the zip before downloading yours. I use Winrar to unpack.
the size of the exe. I get two sizes reported from properties
size = 742 kb
size on disk = 744 kb
but really dont trouble yourself anymore just for me, I am fine with using my old notepad2 generally and notepad++ sometimes.
----------------------------
@ Zach Yes i have never been good with peoples names, or typing corricktly.
But really I am not complaining, I thought it was the done thing to let people know if what they had produced wasn't working on a particular system. I followed on from HotkeyIts post, as I thought I should confirm that it wasnt just his experience but that it wasnt working on my system either.
If the original poster wants to come back with " well I am happy that it works for such and such a system and I am not going to change it" I am fine with that!

This is the old file.
You will need to clear cache of your browser, correct size is 834KB (32bit version).

I never thought of clearing my browser cache. Sorry HotKeyIt, your version is working fine - and is looking VERY good.
Thanks for all your trouble

anyways my current attempts at a custom notepad2 like program is coming along, atm just basic features, no code folding, etc but I got syntax highlighting and also compiles for linux (for the .net version of AutoHotKey) , I'll see if I can post a small tech preview of it to see about general responses of my project idea.

My version has got folding enabled, why don't you take over? Also please change the settings I have noted above, so we can use on XP. You can use Kdiff3 to compare code.

Thank you.

...& that is fine & appreciated, but why did you decide to use VS2010 & make that a requirement for a simple recompiled Notepad2?...or was that an accident?


...I listed some of the reasons I can think of, Microsoft makes changes & damages peoples systems with "patches". I have enough computer issues without Microsoft causing me more.


...complaints only about the requirement of VS2010 & SP3...the original notepad2 does not require either, so all you should do is find a way to recompile, without causing those requirements.


...great, try compiling the vanilla Notepad2 code in it & then add your mods to it.


...does that mean you are starting over, without Notepad2 code?

because I'm tired of modifying something existing and want to make something from scratch


because Visual Studio 2010 is what I have besides mingw and notepad2 refuses to compile on mingw unless it was severely modified.


reasons why you shouldn't be running windows xp anymore since it's very soon to be discontinued, however it's your computer so you do what you want. Personally I'm on Linux (with a windows 7 virtual machine) and I've never turned back



I shouldn't have to lower my standards, sorry for sounding ignorant but I disagree with you.


as stated above it would require too much modifications, much more than I'm willing to do.


no not starting over, starting as a completely new project all together.

...I wonder what flo compiles with?


...OK, yes, XP is old, but I don't think I could ever get used to Win7 (I have a new computer with it, it's weird...every menu/dialog was moved/changed).


...I'm sure this will start a debate, but which flavor?...(I'm open to suggestions). I have personally never tried Linux as a Home Desktop OS, but not cuz I don't want to, just haven't dove in yet. Not Linux, but I would jump on ReactOS the millisecond they get it "usable", but I fear that will take forever (it's already taken over 10 years {not that writing an OS is easy tho}).


...my only point is that, somehow, flo (the author of Notepad2) is able to compile it without having those requirements...it would be good to find out exactly how he is compiling it.

he is not the only one that manages to make a notepad replacement that works on XP. There are hardly any that dont. Notepad++ Textpad etc etc.

There are still an awful lot of people who are still using XP. They didnt want Vista and cant see what Windows7 offers that they cant already do in XP. Therefore I think a text editor that doesnt work on xp will leave out a lot of potential users.

it's not that I'm telling people to upgrade to vista or windows 7 it's the fact they refuse to update to windows xp sp3, they are leaving themselves unpatched and vulnerable to potential attacks. I for one don't like that happening at all.
and flo uses an outdated version of visual studio that isn't offered anymore legitimately by Microsoft, iirc it's visual studio 6/7

Nope you are wrong. Florian uses WDK which produces faster and smaller executables.

now he does but when he started he did use Visual Studio 6/7
