Enable to open file : ÿþS

2011-02-15T14:41:29Z

Last version of Syn (2.1.0.46) is not able to open some files generated by scripts. It only prints one row : ÿþS or ÿþi

Headers and line numbers are not printed

2010-11-25T15:22:19Z

With the print setup depicted in the attached screenshots,

- line numbers are not printed at all (although "Line Numbers" is checked in Options/Print, and
- the header is printed correctly only on the first page. On the second page, it is already messed up. From the third page, the header is not printed anymore

This can be seen already in the "Print Preview".

Attached are screenshots showing the Page Setup and the Print Preview (of page 2 and 3)

HTML exporter messes language encoding

2009-12-16T08:28:40Z

I need to print highlighted .pas sources, so i needed a converter to something like .html

syn 2.1.46 as downloaded form main sf project page
maybe it is not latest, but given as default

.pas file is made in Virtual Pascal and is incoded in Russian DOS codepage (866)

So, when i open it in syn, i see a mess insteaad of letter. Then i found deep in menu codepage conversion (in UniRed it is way more easier, even in open/save dialogs. Alas, UniRed is dead and does not have exporting/printing). Both "OEM to ANSI" and manually selecting "DOS 866 -> windows 1251" make text on screen readable ok.

Now, going for export.
Export to RTF makes it ok.
But export to HTML, which i wanted from beginning, corrupts it all. It assumes text in Latin1 encoding and neither does it specify correct encoding in HTML/HEAD/META tag, nor does it presetrve at least characters in their binary form, replacing them with &bla-vla-vla; substintutions. Those can't be converted back to human-readable characters no more.

Show Whitespace issues

2008-12-10T09:56:20Z

I run syn on English Windows XP SP2, but with Language for non-Unicode programs: Chinese (PRC). I do this for many other programs so they can read/load files with chinese characters in the filename.

When I select Show Whitespace in syn, then I get chinese characters overlapping the spaces & first letter of the word directly after a space.

Is it possible to fix this without having to port syn to unicode?

No data medium if CD-Drive is open

2007-09-18T20:49:41Z

If all CD-Drives are closed the error doesn't come,
but if i open the CD-Drive, let it open and open a file
from the desktop, the error comes up and says that there
is:

"No data medium" in my G: Drive

Then i need to press 18x "abort" to show me the main syn form.

syn (Version 2.1.0.46)
syn (Version 3.0.0.2)

syn does not show more than 256 chars in a single line

2007-04-26T09:35:23Z

This is very disturbing especially when editting large regular expressions

print layout and font sizing

2007-04-24T09:17:59Z

Hi. as advanced as this editor is,however I still seem to be stupid enough,not having -yet- discovered some of it's -hopefully- very basic functionality, such as ...changing portrait print out to Landscape in Print preview menu ,( where there ought to be a setup button located someplace but there isnt)- as in word or excel.. or even resize the fonts of a text sheet to a smaller scale , down to 6 with just one click , so one could print the whole page without splitting it..

An option that Wordpad can do with just a simple CTRL+a -------->Fonts !!

Now why is this so difficult 4 U guys to minimize Ur expectations from us , simple low-end users,who just wish -at times - to do some simple stuff like that, and instead force us go back to old bill's tools 4 such silly needs ??? Other than that,it just rocks as an editor!
Best regards

Save dialog box off screen.

2007-01-09T03:36:25Z

I can't see what I'm typing because it is in yellow on
yellow for some reason, but I'll try to explain anyway.
If you have syn Text Editor in a small window, and
you move the window so much of it is off the bottom
of the screen, and then press the X to stop the
program, the save dialog question is off the screen, so I had to press ESC or start the task manager and end program. I wasn't doing anything important, so doesn't matter. Also, my background is yellow because I set it that way, and I can't see anything I'm ttyping right now.
Bye now!
