i have also been waiting for the new release

fee. i would also take part in a review process.

Bravo!  Just for that simplification alone, I'm willing to pay a (reasonable) new license fee.  Even as a long-time WinEdt user, if it's been a while since I had to change some aspect of the configuration, I never know whether to go to Preferences, Settings, Appearance, Menu Setup, etc. -- the the point that I dread having to fritter away time to find where I need to change what needs to be changed.

One caveat to what I said:  If Y&Y TeX is not supported in WinEdt 6, then the program will have very limited value to me.  (Unless and until somebody creates a viewer engine for Windows as fast as dviwindo, I'm wedded to Y&Y TeX for most of my work.)

I'll add to Murray's praise and support - I'd have no problem in paying for
an upgrade and giving a hand with testing, documentation etc.

I am working on it: It will be released in the beginning of
March.

Test versions might be available before that (as early as mid
January) but they may not be completely documented and some
changes to default settings might be done for the official
release depending on feedback...

Significant changes have been made to WinEdt's interfaces. In
particular, the way it is configured and customized has been
completely changed. Preferences, Settings, Appearance, Menu
Setup, and Highlighting Dialogs have been dropped (eliminated)
in favor of a new (consistent) Options Interface. Programming
work on WinEdt 6 is pretty much finished but lots of stuff has
to be documented or else I will be swamped with questions and
support requests...

Not many users know this but I had a pretty solid version of
WinEdt 6 ready more than a year ago. However, a dilemma arose
whether to release it as the first step towards the new setup
or to bite a bullet and replace the above dialogs with more
manageable interface. This took a lot of work and involved many
decisions on how to reorganize all the options. Once a decision
was made I was able to get rid of tens of thousands of lines of
legacy code (compatibility when it comes to loading the
settings from previous versions). I was also able to fix some
design mistakes: the old configuration dialogs were a result of
adding new functionality and options over many years: as a
consequence of such evolution they were overcrowded and lacking
logical organization. New functionality and enhancement to
highlighting ability has been made (for example environments
can have their background in custom colors -- the whole block
regardless of the length of text). Also changing a
configuration no longer requires rewriting the menu and toolbar
-- it is handled much more efficiently and switching between
TeX Live and MiKTeX is a "snap". And there is more...

Too much of old code was dealing with Import/ Export
functionality which was not well conceived, anyway (extracting
and loading configuration components with almost 100 macros for
this purpose in semi-editable format was never a good idea).
Anyway, all this has now been dealt with and the code is much
cleaner as a result. This makes a prospect of migrating to a
new Delphi compiler and producing a proper Unicode/ UTF-8
version (for version 6.1) much more feasible and less of a
nightmare. I am still working on a Backup/ Restore macros that
will allow smooth upgrading of Versions 6.x from here on
(although some changes might still be necessary for Unicode
version).

But there are also consequences that some users might find a
strong enough deterrent not to migrate to WinEdt 6:

   - Old settings cannot be automatically imported in new
   version. WinEdt 6 will have to be installed parallel to the
   old version (both can be run simultaneously) and any
   customizations will have to be done manually (this may
   require some reading of documentation). Running both versions
   simultaneously will allow you to compare, explore the new
   version and decide which you like better (at your leisure).

   - Components on WinEdt.org that use Import/ Export macros
   will not automatically install in the new version. They will
   have to be revisited and updated for WinEdt 6 (they should
   take advantage of the new Configuration Filters instead of
   reloading the menus directly!). This may take some time and
   will require the community to get involved...

   - WinEdt 6 requires a new code and this will require paying
   an upgrade fee. Exceptions will be made for users that bought
   a license or an upgrade within a year. Also users that are
   willing to get involved with updating of macros on WinEdt.org
   or want to help with documentation or make a reasonable
   contribution will be issued a new code free of change upon
   request...

If WinEdt 6 is reasonably well received the unicode version
should be available by the end of next year. Also some major
new functionality (like folding) will be considered. If, on the
other hand, WinEdt 6 will be a "flop" I'll have to reconsider
my options: perhaps the days of custom written and supported
shareware applications like WinEdt are numbered. No hard
feelings, though; it's been an interesting 15 years and I have
no regrets...

Best regards,

alex

There is a small software named 'Clipomatic' which lets save several
entries in the clipboard (1 by default). It's very easy to use. Here's

Hi,

 

With my settings (almost default) when I use Drag and Drop to copy or move a selected block, at the end of the operation the block is deselected.

Thus if I am copying the same text in several place I have to select it again.

Obviously, putting the text in the clipboard could be an alternative, but then the previous content of the clipboard is deleted and this is sometime not desired.

 

Is there an option to keep the block selected?

 

If not, such an option could be added in a future version.

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

I doubt that the above does anything useful in V.2 of
PDFXChange. As per my previous messages SendMessage no longer
works. The following works for me:

// PDF-XChange?
    FindInString(`%$('AcroRead');`,'PDFXCview',1,2,1000,1);
    IfOK(!"Relax;",!"JMP('not_pdf-xchange')");
    Run('%$("AcroRead"); /close:discard "%P\%N.pdf"');

I cannot confirm this on my network. With default settings the
things work as documented in the Help (Keyword: Startup
Folders). I did not see any do difference between local and
network (UNC) drives.

This functionality can be customized (depending on what you
want). For example, in the menu setup you may want to set %p as
a Startup Folder for this command...

alex and WinEdt users,

As per my last message, I cannot get:

Run('%$("AcroRead") /close:discard "%P\%N.pdf"');

to work. However, I did note that there has been a change in how
Tracker installs the viewer. It is now installed as:

c:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\PDFXCview.exe

So I made some changes in Acrobat CloseDoc.edt as follows:

// PDF-XChange?
   FindInString(`%$('AcroRead');`,'PDFXCview',1,2,1000,1);
   IfOK(!"Relax;",!"JMP('not_pdf-xchange')");
   LetRegNum(1,0);
:next_pdf-xchange::
   LetRegNum(1,%!1+1);>
   IfNum(%!1,99,'>',!"JMP('closed_pdf-xchange')");>
   SendMessage("%N - PDF Viewer",$0111,$E152);
   IfOK(!"JMP('closed_pdf-xchange')",!"Relax;");
   SendMessage("- PDF Viewer",$0111,$E151);
   JMP('next_pdf-xchange');
:closed_pdf-xchange::
   PopTagsandRegisters;
   Exit;
:not_pdf-xchange::

This now works, but gives me a LaTeX error:

"I can't write on file `----.pdf'
Please type another file name for output:

I press Enter and it is okay and the file reloads.

Again, I would really appreciate help in cleaning this up, so I
do not have to muddle around, not knowing what I am doing.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I am afraid that a little knowledge is
not necessarily a good thing. I hope you can appreciate that none
of this is clear to a non programmer. Any further help (like the
clean code of the whole macro, if possible) would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I tried replacing the SendMessage, but I now get other errors:

";" Expected
("AcroRead") ^^^ /close:discard "%P\N.pdf"

and then:

Error parsing a string parameter...
Run("%$("AcroRead") /close:discard "%P\N.pdf" ^^^);

I am actually not sure what I am to replace. All occurrences of
SendMessage?

Does all of:
SendMessage("%N - PDF-XChange Viewer",$0111,$E152);

Get replaced by:
Run('%$("AcroRead") /close:discard "%P\%N.pdf"');

What about:
SendMessage("%N - PDF-XChange Viewer",$0111,$E151);

And what about:
SendMessage("%$('Acro-Title');", $0000, $0000);

Instead of SendMessage (which no longer works with v2) you must
replace it with:

   // This works with version 2 of PDF-XChange (nice and clean!)
   Run('%$("AcroRead") /close:discard "%P\%N.pdf"');

Completely forgetting about this problem from just a few weeks
ago, I just updated PDF-XChange Viewer again to version 2, Build
42.9. I am paying for my short memory, again, in that Acrobat
CloseDoc.edt bugs again.

I ask again, has anyone else had problems with the recent builds

CloseDoc.edt so that it works again?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

I'm using Winedt 5.5 Build: 20071003 on my computer at work. When I remote desktop into my computer at work from home I find that Winedt freezes whenever I try to open a new file. The only way to shut down the program after this is to go to the Task Manager and kill Winedt. The problem is very specific and only occurs in the following cases:

1) The problem only happens when I try to use the toolbar to do something (open a file, look at options, etc.)
2) When I work with Winedt directly on my computer everything works fine, so I don't think it's a problem with Winedt only, something about using Winedt with remote desktop.
3) It only happens when I use the mstsc /span command to remote desktop so that I can use my dual monitors at home. If I only use one monitor to remote desktop Winedt works fine.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

For U-Jean's useful Backup macro at windedt.org...

Often I must open a .tex file in WinEdt for which there is yet no
backups done by the macro.  (For example, I move the file from another
computer.  Or I finished with the file a long time ago and deleted the
associated backup folders, but now I have to open it in WinEdt, perhaps
to copy parts to a new file, etc.)

Each time I do that, I get a pop-up windows "Windows cannot find '[file
name[]'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To
search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

And then it requires moving focus to that pop-up window and clicking the
OK button to dismiss it.

Is there some way to avoid that (for me, at least) annoying and
unnecessary behavior?

No, not at all.  What is already written and done with can just as well stay
as it is.

However, the poster here is presumably at odds with a piece he's writing now
and has either copied over from previous work or quite simply his editors
are a little less accommodating than yours ;-)

So, it might just be a good time for him to do some pruning.

Cheers,  Phil

However, the case we are facing is precisely one where one NEEDS delimited
parameters, as some smart "package" writer decided to change their order.

Hmm... Do you actually suggest to rewrite all my papers every time anyone
comes up with a new "package"? Or even to bother to learn all this
superfluous new stuff when old one (like amstex and epsf) is good enough?
Sounds like the microsoft way (upgrade no matter whether you need it or
not).

I suppose what you really meant was (hopefully I've properly doubled all the
\\'s)

\\def\\getpsfig figure=#1.eps,#2\\\\{\\includegraphics[#2]{#1}}

Isn't this a rather good way to build up a lot of superfluous out-of-date
junk in your files?

Not everyone needs or even knows how to use delimited parameters.
This is rather reckless and pointless advice: it's downright wrong for a
novice, who would risk running into precisely the clashes \\newcommand is
set up to avoid and an expert just doesn't need it.

You apparently only have to deal with very kind-hearted editors ... luck
you!

I agree that the \def metacommand allows more possibilities. But LaTeX's \newcommand is a better way to avoid collisions with any possible packages.
What I do is use both at once, e.g.,

\newcommand{foo}...
\def\foo...

Best wishes,

Nicolas

Sorry, this is my e-mail provider - dunno why, but it apparently removes
unless it's escaped with another  !!!

So, here goes again:

Use search & replace with regular expressions and then insert
     \\psfig\{figure=\(\1*\).eps,width=\(\2*\)\}
as the search string and
     \\includegrapics\[width=\2\]\{\1\}
as the replace string

That's the wrong way to solve the problem. beamer is creating the
nav-file not for fun. It needs it later to get the navigation-menu
right. So try to find out what is wrong with your code or with beamer
by making a small example that demonstrates the problem.

WinEdt can automatically delete this file (although something
else is not quite OK if this keeps on happening). In WinEdt's
Exec\MiKTeX folder you will find a macro file PDFLaTeX.edt.

There you'll see a section like:

   // Delete the working output files...
   IfFileExists("%b\_Err.log",!"DeleteFile('%b\_Err.log')");
   IfFileExists("%b\_Out.log",!"DeleteFile('%b\_Out.log')");
   IfFileExists("%b\_Run.log",!"DeleteFile('%b\_Run.log')");
   IfFileExists("%P\%N.pdf",!"DeleteFile('%P\%N.pdf')");
   IfFileExists("%P\%N.log",!"DeleteFile('%P\%N.log')");

It's easy to see what you should do. Add a new line:

   IfFileExists("%P\%N.nav",!"DeleteFile('%P\%N.nav')");

That;s all.

Best regards,

alex
