Hi Antonis, thank you for updated and keeping this work.
I jut downloaded new version and I have some question/suggestions:
1. When I open asm source code files, all registers and command are capitalized (mov->MOV, eax->EAX). I dislike this behavior and I want to disable this (may be useful) '~' feature in .hes file. What about adding 'Highlighting' options for ignoring capitalizing of symbols?
2. I have a wide-screen with 1920x1200 resolution and I have 'Large Fonts' (120 dpi instead of 96) option turned on. So, your app incorrectly (auto)detects width of line number bar width.
3. In the status bar at bottom of main window you have some separated bars, due to the same 'Large Fonts' system option, text do not fit reserved place. You need to keep in mind that on such systems real text width is bigger than usually. Check out GetDeviceCaps API with LOGPIXELSX parameter (may return 96 or 120).
4. Remember last opened options page (there is just 1 'General' option and many under 'Editor' tab

Thank you for your work and good luck!

Very nice Antonis,

William

agree with Jupiter about char case :) personally i'm accustomed with 'plane' case in assembler: everything is lowercase or everything is uppercase... - may be this feature should be optional.

another general issue - when i start application it placed in such way so right lower corner goes beyond screen (i have 800x600 resolution). - it's not a bug: many new app supposed greater resolution and appear in similar way, but it would be slightly better to keep this in mind - even not a wish, just an advice ;)

all other is great. i already have a wish to run tools from this editor :)

@ Jupiter & shoorick:

I really don't get what the problem is. KeyWords.hes is there sitting on your hard disk and you can do whatever you like in it. Either remove ~ completely or change the casing of the words that follow it according to your needs. ~ is there to autocorrect the way YOU want or remove it completely and you won't have any auto correction. I may not get your point well enough, please clarify.

@Jupiter:

System Large Fonts should not be a problem for line number bar width but yes, it could be a problem for the status bar. I 'll give both issues a look. Can you upload a screenshot, please?

Remembering last opened options page is a good point, will be done. Don't worry, The General tab is easy to fill. Any suggestions?

Thanks

@shoorick

You know I very rarely upload my ini file. This time I did it on purpose so that people don't go looking for the KeyWords.hes file. I won't do it again (probably)!
What tools will you run from HiEditor, btw?

Thanks

Thanks Swagler for your kind words.
