Problems on save/save all

Anonymous — Fri, 07 May 2010 19:38:26 -0000

If you click the save button and the file is open elsewhere the save fails. You get a notice of failure, The dirty indicator stays red, but turns green if you set focus to the file body. More importantly you then can't save the file without making a change to it so as to make it "dirty" again.

Crash on FTP Open Remote

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:33:17 -0000

Windows 7 64bit

I specify an FTP entry and set it to passive FTP. I then use the FTP Open Remote option to connect to the server. I'm able to connect and navigate fine, but when I load a file, the program crashes with a message of "Crimson Editor SVC263 has stopped working". I'm using the standard x86 build under the 64bit OS, not sure if that makes a difference. I tried running it in XP SP3 compatibility mode, no change, so I suspect it's not OS related.

Opened file not shown when restarting with multiple tabs

shd01 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:20:49 -0000

1. Edit files e.g. (A.txt,B.txt,C.txt) concurrently (each in a different tab)
2. Close Emerald Editor
3. Double click on a supported file (e.g. D.txt)

The editor starts up. Tab order is D.txt | A.txt | B.txt | C.txt, Editor window shows file C.txt

This is different from original release behaviour and is very confusing, as you see a different file from the one you just clicked on.

Release Notes link on Help>About CE goes to outdated version

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:27:03 -0000

I'm using the latest version (SVN263)
Clicking on the "Release Notes" link goes to an outdated edition of the release notes (Version 3.70 Release (Sep. 22, 2004))
Either the release notes in the version that is being built has not been updated or the link is going to the wrong file.
--
Steps to reproduce:
Open CE
Goto Help> About Crimson Editor
Left side of the OK button is a link to "Release Notes" Click on this link
Link will open an HTML document that contains the notes to Version 3.70 Release (Sep. 22, 2004)

Show line number shows only 4 digits

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:14:50 -0000

When a big file (100.000 rows) is loaded and Show line number is set on, number lines shows only four digits. ex: 49543, show 9543.

Open template functionnality doesn't recognize the right enc

Arantor — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:35:39 -0000

A utf-8 encoded file open with "File/Open" is correctly detected as utf-8 file, whereas the same file open with "File/Open template" is not.

Betas need to be available via download

Arantor — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:30:56 -0000

Beta builds should be available via some method other than forum attachments, especially as some firewalls block this.

(Originally on CE/EE tracker, no longer applicable as now on SourceForge. Developers will be able to add builds and releases to suit.)

Highlighting bug in tab

Arantor — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:15:21 -0000

hahahahaha

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

I had seen this occur but thought it was just me, as I couldn't figure out what I'd done and couldn't reproduce..

To reproduce:

1. Open at least 3 tabs.
2. click on tab1 so it is active
3. right click on tab2 and choose close
4. click on tab3

Also, to reproduce:

1. Open two tabs.
2. Select first tab.
3. Close it.
4. Open it again.

File saved on close is not remembered

Arantor — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:13:49 -0000

To reproduce:

1. create new file
2. edit it a little
3. close window
4. Click "Yes" to indicate you want to save.
5. After CE closes, restart CE.
6. This file is not reopened like other open files were.

3.72 beta startup/shutdown times are longer

Arantor — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:10:03 -0000

JohnB (Atlanta) added:
Emerald Editor 3.72 beta takes significantly longer to start up and to shut down than Crimson Editor 3.70.
This impairs usability only slightly, but it IS noticable enough to be annoying.

DATA COLLECTION

10 trials each with stopwatch.

Both editor versions configured to:
- NOT create new document on startup
- reload last working files on startup
- NO last working file; the editor will start up with no files.

Editor versions installed in separate directories.

AVG. STARTUP TIMES:
v3.70: 1.16 sec.
v3.72: 5.81 sec.

AVG> SHUTDOWN TIMES:
v3.70: Too fast to measure by human user. Virtually instantaneous.
v3.72: 1.21 sec.

We are aware of the issue.. its to do with disk i/o i believe.

When the user config was rewritten I dont think phil realised that the disk i/o would be so high. I am working (albiet slowly) towards a complete rewrite of the config reading/writing which should fix the issue.

This thread is for reference:
http://forum.emeraldeditor.com/index.php?topic=401.0

Thanks for addig this to the tracker, i thought it was already here, but just checked and its not.. :)

Guest added:
It might be also related to the floppy access bug - at least the startup?
I have my doubts that any config fiddling could be so noticably slow even on almost 3Ghz Opty...

Pvt_Ryan added:
not its nothing to do with the floppy access bug. thats a seperate bit of code.

processor speed has no bearing on this.. its disk I/O..

so if you have a 10k rpm raptor drive you will not notice it as much compared to someone that is using a laptop with a 4.2K rpm HDD.

Basically the code accesses the config file once for every option. and the same for saving options.

Guest added:
Ugh, well, thanks a lot for explaining me this.
Any chance for fix soon?

And still it is much faster on my machine (eg. the slow-down is much less noticable on 3Ghz Opty that on 1Ghz old Athlon). Perhaps the disk IO stuff get completely cached by winblows and then occur only within memory?

_________________________________________________________________________________

Pvt_Ryan added:
basically, when i get a chance to rewrite it, it will

1. Read ini into memory
2. set preferences/settings
3. on close rewrite ini to be sure all settings are caught.

Hi

I found this bug because I noticed the start-up time for Crimson Editor 3.71 was much worse when I moved to a new, bigger, faster PC. My old PC 2.4Ghz, 760Mb, XP SP2 would start up in about 2 seconds. On my new dual core 3Ghz PC, XP SP3 it takes about 25 seconds. I see this either if I copy over the Program Files\Crimson Editor tree from the old PC, or if I rebuild CEDT 3.72 using Dev Studio 6 on my new PC.

On my new PC 3.70 starts in under a second.
