I haven't used these before, but I look foward to trying it out. Thanks Mr Max, (maximum rrrespect)
to you. Now that I've weaned myself off frontpage I need to step up to the next level.
cheers

Hey, thanks. Been using it for sometime and as luck would have it, I've just starting learning PHP. So I should be able to put it to good use in the next few weeks.

Thanks for making a great tool.

I have to say, I'm quite pleased with HTML Beauty. I grabbed it last week or so when Mr. Max posted it and have been playing with it ever since. It's become my default editor. I'm even weening myself off of word wrap hahah

Thanks for such a spiffy program!

~Binary is best~

excellent, now give us that WordWrap hack then

Jason

that's so fucking AWESOME! a big WEEEEEEEE for mr.maX!!!!! THX MAN!

does it support perl?

~starts downloading before mr.max realises he should be charging a packet for this program~

mr.maX

Once again I would like to say thank you for your excelent program!!

I have used ME++ ever since the time I found out about it, and I'm really thrilled with the changes you've made to the new version. There's just one thing I'm missing from the old version, and I hope it's because I'm just not looking in the right place. Have you just moved the menu item to set keyboard macros or done away with them completely? I really got to like having them.

Either way, it's a great job... Thanks.

JKMabry, I've decided not to include "word wrap hack" in the final release, because the current word wrap code has some problems with syntax highlighting and may throw an access violation from time to time, and I don't want to be responisble for the loss of data. As soon as word wrap code is stable, I'll make another release...

Butcher, Keyboard Macros and Tag Libaray have been combined in a unified Code Library. So, go to Code Library (Resource Panel), create new Code Item, write code that you want to insert and assign shortcut (the same as with old Keyboard Macros)...

Much obliged, mr. maX! I've been thinking about trying out your app since the test version thread... I've been a DreamWeaver user for a while, but I'm trying to learn more on the coding side... Looks like this might be a good way to just dive right in!

Thanks!

well it's a fantastic release nonetheless

Jason

Sweet!!

Thanks Max!! =)

When's the new asylum gonna be out?

Thank you MAX! You ROCK! Nice editor! I use it on my mac that runs Virtual PC Windows 98se. Runs Great!

Did I miss the download window? All I see at htmlbeauty.com is a picture and no links.

PaulBM: I've just check and it looks fine - if you are still having trouble let us know the browser/OS you are using.

Maybe your browser is showing you a cached version of the page. clear you cache and try it again.

-Butcher-

I finally get around to downloading it, and when I click on the bsetup.exe program I get "Unspecified Error".

It's working now, F5 worked this time. We have a NetCache here at work, that must have been the cause.

BTW, Max. did you write Homesite? I've been using Homesite for years, and Beauty is so similar to Homesite, it's been very easy for me to change over.

Jheez, this deserves a party!

Pills anyone?

I haven't test it yet, but I will as soon as possible! (tomorrow, at least)

Thanks Mr.Max, this is my HTML editor since I know what the hell HTML is...

So, I'm itching to try this out... anyone have any idea why I got that error? Should I try downloading again?

I think it's pretty obvious who's mind is in the gutter here... gutter boy. Go run along now and play with your octopus.

[Edit: Seriously, though. Anyone have a helpful response?]

[Edit: Never mind. Just downloaded it again, and everything is spiffy. Looks nice so far. Noticed a minor copy error... the pop-up text for the form combobox says "check box". Also, is there column-based selecting?]

Suho1004: Well OK sensible it is then!!

If I were you I'd download it again - its possible something got corrupted in the download.

As you are pos. having trouble with spyware, etc. I'd try and get that cleared and if both those don't work then come back and ask again

PaulBM, no I didn't write HomeSite, but I used it a lot before I wrote HTML Beauty. So, that must be the reason why there are so many similarities...

Suho1004, my ISP had some problems with their internet link, and that's probably the reason why you got a corrupted download. Anyway, I'm glad that everything worked out fine. The typo that you noticed is also present in the menu, besides the hint popup. I really don't know how I didn't catch it before. Column-based selecting is available in HTML Beauty. Go to Program Options / Editor / Options and select "ALT sets column selection mode". Now, every time you want to select a column-block hold ALT key before you select something.

Emps: My system is clean... the problem I'm having doesn't appear to have anything to do with spyware. If it were spyware, why would it default to "blank"?

mr.maX: Thanks, that's great!

I don't seem to be able to set the New Beauty as the default program to open PHP files. I thought maybe it was because I had both versions of Beauty on my computer but I still have the same problem after removing the older version. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the new version but with no luck. The new Beauty shows up in the "send to" section of the context menu, but not in the "open with" section. I have also tried right clicking a PHP file and go to "properties" and change the default that way, but Beauty doesn't show up in the list either and no matter how many times I browse to the Beauty.exe file to tell it to use that, it doesn't work.

Any pointers on other ways I can accomplish this?

Thanks

-Butcher-

I really don't have any idea why your Windows doesn't add HTML Beauty to Open With list even after you manually select beauty.exe as Open With program.

Anyway, this may fix it - Open Registry Editor and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php (if there's no ".php" key, create it) and modify Default value to read "htmlfile". Now, all php files should have the same options as every other HTML file...

Thanks mr.maX

In following your suggestion, I believe I found out what the problem was. Since I was in the registry editor anyway I looked to see what the settings were for .html and it seems that my installation of Firebird had hijacked them. I don't remember the value exactly but it was set to something like "htmlmozilla" or something of the sort. I changed that to htmltext as you suggested and all is well again.

Thanks.

[edit] Now how do I add Beauty to the OpenWithList section of the registry? [/edit]

mr.maX, I've come up with a few questions for you =)

syntax highlighting option seem to have been scaled way back, can you confirm that? An example of what I'm talking about, Iused to be able to specify table tags one color, img tags another, anchor tags another etc etc, now it appears to only allow Reserved Words and Identifiers?

about the only thing I ever got used to dragging and dropping was images, from the resource panel to the markup and it would insert them with height and width attributes filled in automatically. With 2004 I drag and drop an image and i gives me a link (<a> ) to the image instead of an img tag. Can that be fixed?

Jason

[This message has been edited by JKMabry (edited 12-02-2003).]

Butcher, Windows manages OpenWithList automatically, so I wouldn't suggest you to modify it by hand.

JKMabry, syntax highligting for HTML files was changed to use a different keyword based approach when highlighting (in order to highlight invalid tags) and that's why there's no more separate highlighting for images, anchors and tables. I may add that feature from the old HTML Beauty in the future versions, but I make no promises.

Drag & Drop has been greatly improved, but due to lack of ducmentation that's not documented. When you drag files to the editor anchor tag will be added (and you can see the cursor with "shortcut" sign). If you hold down CTRL or SHIFT key and you're dragging image image tag will be added (as before), otherwise if you're dragging a file that's not an image and you hold down CTRL or SHIFT it will be opened in HTML Beauty. I would also like to point out that HTML Beauty accepts dragged files from Windows Explorer, Mini Explorer or Image Beauty and that you can use drag & drop to copy or move files in Mini Explorer.

sorry if you've already addressed this and i'm just missing it... but is there plans in the works for documentation? i'd love to have that rather than bug jason for support

thanks maX, listen to Lacuna, you know I'll just turn around and bug you in turn =D

Jason

EXCELLENT MR. MAX!!! Will be using this starting Monday! Thanks!

Many thanks for a great tool from me too, Mr Max!! I was waiting for you to upload the new version rather than start learning the old version; been at it 12 hrs a day since you posted it.
