- using Linker generated manifests (knows dependencies)
- activate VS2017's postprocessing manifest-tool to merge manifest with
Version.exe's .manifest.conf part (re-embedding assembled manifest)
- by the way: Version.exe (Release/Win32) should only patch the items in
<assemblyIdentity /> node of .manifest.conf and not re-create the complete manifest wiith dependencies
(it works fine yet, but, if the Linker change dependencies, this will lead to merge conflicts)
- switching DPI awarenes to 'false', cause only MFC Application can be made DPI aware
(setting 'true' for non MFC Applications will end up in blurry effects on scaled desktops [MS doc])
- Tip: the embedded manifest resource can be checked by:
i) load the .exe via file open dialog into VS2017
ii) or using Sysinternal's > sigcheck.exe -a -m Notepad3.exe
~ maybe it is time to change to Platform Toolset "Visual Studio 2017 - Windows XP (v141_xp)" ?
- add existing recoding accelerator keys (Ctrl+Alt+F & Ctrl+Shift+A)
to "Recode" menue (func: reload file forcing this encoding type)
- add version info for used Scintilla library
~ VERSION_SCIVERSION should be set by Version.exe (version patcher)
and can be picked from provided scintilla\version.txt
- some code-cleanup (cleancode-developer pathfinder rule)
while trying to trace down notepad2-mod issue #121
(i am able to reproduce, but didn't find the reason (yet))
- fix exception - reported in notepad2-mod pull request (Crash fixing. #172), which has been rejected there,
but I was able to reproduce it in VS2017 debug mode (initial defaults for exception handling).
(https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod/pull/172)
- incorporate changes from notepad2-mod from v.4.2.25.995 to v.4.2.25.998
(one fix, the other changes we have done before already)
- Change shortcuts for the following actions:
(-) Toggle Transparent Mode: moved from Ctrl+0 to Ctrl+Numpad_*
(x) Reset Zoom: Ctrl+/ change to Ctrl+0 ($v_5.0.26)
Additional Accelerator Keys, as suggested by (https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod/pull/197)
(+) Toggle Line Comment : in addition to Ctrl+Q add Ctrl+/ with same functionality
(+) Do Stream Comment : in addition to Ctrl+Shift+Q add Ctrl+Shift+/ with same functionality
believing new shortcuts are more convenient and more widely used, aren't they?
- consistent encoding <> code-page handling (including Scintilla's code-page settings)
- Scintilla issue regarding notepad2-mod issie #173 (see https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod/pull/193)
- allow arbitrary conversion between encodings (even it it does not make sense in any case)
(instead of doing silently nothing but changing encoding info on status bar)
- remember more settings/checksboxes for “Find text” dialog between sessions (.ini-file persistence of (open) dialog)
- DeelX RegexSearch: remove EXTENDED mode - that disables white space ignore and '#' as line comment (expexted/convenient behaviour)
- fixing ".LOG-feature" of Notepad : ".LOG" recognition must be case sensitive
Notepad2 and also the maintaining fork notepad2-mod are using Scintilla's internal regexpr engine, which has its limitations ( see XhmikosR/notepad2-mod#148 ).
In wise forsight, the developer of Scintilla creates an interface (activated by preprocessor define SCI_OWNREGEX), to embed your own RegExpr search (and replace) engine.
