notepad mint 1.2.0

drag and drop like notepad

  • drop a file on the window and it opens: the first one in this window (after the save prompt), the others in new windows; folders are skipped, and more than 10 files asks first
  • hold shift while dropping to insert the paths at the drop point instead, one per line (what a plain drop did before)
  • drag selected text to move it, hold ctrl to copy it; drag text in from other programs and out to them (a move takes it out of this document); one undo takes a drop back
  • a thin mark shows where the text will land, and the editor scrolls while you hold it near an edge
  • the exe still imports only kernel32 / user32 / gdi32: ole32 is loaded once the window has painted

windows xp notepad parity

  • page setup has a header and a footer: &f file name, &p page number, &d date, &t time, &l / &c / &r alignment, && an ampersand; defaults &f and page &p, remembered
  • a small window with a cancel button stays up while a document prints
  • /pt file printer driver port prints on a named printer; the print and printto verbs are registered by the installer and by help > set as default text editor
  • f3 searches in the direction picked in the find dialog, shift+f3 the other way; the search text, the replacement and the direction are remembered across sessions
  • the & underlines in the menus, dialogs and buttons stay hidden until you press alt or use the keyboard (always shown if windows is set to); find, replace, go to, font and message box buttons have them
  • a double click on the window icon closes the window; the tilt wheel scrolls sideways; notepad-mint name for a missing name without an extension offers to create name.txt
  • pasted text gets windows line breaks (lone lf / cr from other programs no longer run lines together)

saving through links

  • a symbolic link saves into its target and stays a link
  • a file with several hard links, or in a folder that refuses new files, is written in place, so every name sees the change

readable source

  • cryptic local, parameter and struct member names were renamed (h, m, w, l to hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam and so on); the exe came out byte for byte identical

Regression coverage: unit 451, gui 839, probe-build gui 217, printing suite 42 (all pass).
