StrongED 4.69f11 released

Hi All,

The eleventh full release of StrongED 4.69 can found on the StrongED website

The download contains a copy of StrongED that has all modes installed to make sure that they are compatible with 4.69f11.

The modes available from the website will updated, where appropriate, with versions that take advantage of new features that are offered by StrongED 4.70 once that’s been released. The updated modes will not work with 4.69f9.

Changes in StrongED 4.69f11 (from 4.69f10)

• Fix clipboard problem with vncserve where SE would bluntly close a menu even when it was owned by another application.
   
• The Refresh dialogue would show a different time for the on-disc copy compared to the unchanged loaded copy when the file was untyped.
   
• Fix detection of BASIC files to avoid untyped files being mistaken for BASIC files (caused a problem when refreshing an untyped file).
   
• If a move of a text block was undone using the Toolbar icon and StrongED didn’t have input focus then an abort would occur.
   
• A Menu click over a LoF or Throwback window would abort when the FileInfo dialogue box was open.
   
• The ScriptSED add-on has been updated to prevent scripts from appearing twice in the Scripts menu. The included Lua scripts have been updated for RiscLua 7.

A full list of changes starting from the initial release 4.69f1 through to 4.69f11 is included in the download.

As always, all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

This makes me remember that a few months ago I used for a while StrongED and noted a few things that could be copied from Zap. I mostly forgot about it but IIRC there was:

- A right click on a LoF/Throwback window in Zap removed that entry from the list (or all entries related to a given file when right clicking on the filename). This makes it easy to remove the entries which you have checked/worked on and keep only the entries which you have yet to work on.
- Provide an history of the contents of some dialog box icons the search and replace fields.

- A right click on a LoF/Throwback window in Zap removed that entry from the list (or all entries related to a given file when right clicking on the filename). This makes it easy to remove the entries which you have checked/worked on and keep only the entries which you have yet to work on.

In StrongED you can use Shift-click to remove an entry from a LoF/Throwback window. A Shift-click on a filename will remove all entries for that file.

- Provide an history of the contents of some dialog box icons the search and replace fields.

Most writable icons already have histories attached to them. Clicking Menu over a writable icon will pop up the history menu for that icon. You can also cycle through the history entries using PageUp / PageDown or Ctrl-O.

There is an option in Global Choices > Edit that controls if the ‘old’ text is shown when a dialogue box is opened.

In 4.70 the presence of a history menu is made clearer by having a button for a pop-up menu next to the writable field.
