Version 16.20 beta 2

[Rickard Johansson]

-----------------------------------------------------------
Version 16.20 (May 1, 2024)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Recently closed files
Added a checkbox in the recent files dropdown list (and on the Home page) to toggle between recently opened and recently closed files.

Options
Made changes in the "Highlight and margin" and "Font and tabs" sections.

Added 4 new tabs to each section.

Code: Select all

        - Source (default) - default highlighter settings.
        - Text Files       - plain text settings.
        - ASCII Files      - ASCII settings.
        - Source Files     - individual highlighter settings.

Themes and dialog windows
Made several visual changes in dialog windows and also several theme improvements.

High DPI
Improved main window scaling and scaling in dialog windows. It's most notable when moving main window between different monitors.

Recent file lists, lists in addons...
Made check boxes in recent file lists, highlighters and language lists in addons theme aware.

They should look better now when using themes.

Also fixed some scaling issues on high DPI screens.

Current line border color
Added the option to change the current line border color in customize themes dialog window.

Space between lines
This option should work better now on really high DPI monitors.

Text Clips
Added a hint to preview the code in a text clip.

Also added new context menu items.

Updates (Win 8.1 and newer)
When a new version is available a Windows notification is displayed. It's added as an option but turned on by default.

The message displayed after an update has been installed should now appear as a Windows notification, instead of a dialog box.

Associate file extension to highlighter
Added a warning message if a user tries to add a .txt, .nfo or .diz extension to a highlighter, as they are reserved for text and ASCII files.

Fixed
* Find/replace issues.
* Several "highlight all instances of current word" issues.
* Setting option for the TAB-key to insert tab characters, instead of spaces, should also set option to preserve tabs (and disable the checkbox).
* Current highlighter sometimes displayed with wrong case.
* Style issue in script toolbar.
* Abbreviations not working with Cpp files.
* Brace highlighting using alternative font.

I must admit I'm confused about this text/ASCII files distinction; what are ASCII files? I have a feeling this question has been already asked (and answered) on this forum, but I can not find the answer. It is not explained in the help file, either.

When I google it, I get

The terms "ASCII file," "ASCII text file," "text file" and "TXT file" are synonymous. Contrast with binary file.

Associate file extension to highlighter
Added a warning message if a user tries to add a .txt, .nfo or .diz extension to a highlighter, as they are reserved for text and ASCII files.

So are "text files" here just files with .txt extension, while ASCII -- with .nfo or .diz? I still can't fathom the sense of this distinction, but could you please add this information into the appropriate place, i.e. to the text below each tab in Options > Highlight and margins? I will be less confused for sure.
