> I just can say I only use edbmgr editor for little changes, for medium to large writing I copy/paste text to editpadpro from Jan Goyvaerts Software. Editing in edbmgr is annoying for me. Generally I agree. We discussed some of theses points here earlier. The problems are: 1. Tim has not enough time to programm an editor with all the features we would like to have. 2. Tim doesn't want to use third-party controls (even if they are freeware), what I understand. But: In my opinion such a great product as ElevateDB deserves an excellent editor while I appreciate all efforts by Tim to improve it. Apart from changing some unusual behaviours like regarding a complete string as a token, no word wraps etc. there are many advanced features that would make life much easier like Code-Folding or Auto-Indenting as editpadpro offers it. @Tim: how about making a deal with them (or someone else) and integrate a special version of such an editor into EDBManager?

I think is a good idea to integrate a 3tr party editor. The way to do is, I don't know it. |

<< Editing in edbmgr is annoying for me. >> That's not particularly helpful. What exactly is so bad about the editor ? I'm almost inclined to ditch the editor and put in a straight-up TMemo...seemed to work for DBISAM. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< Try this - New sql window - start typing - its fine - the memo picks up focus and shows what you've typed. - New sql window - ALT-TAB to another app, select some text and copy to clipboard - ALT-TAB back to EDBManager and press ctrl-v - result nada. Click into the memo and press ctrl-v and it works. >> This is working for me here (Windows 7). -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< I often have several SQL editing TabPages / windows open in the EDBMgr, when each SCRIPT and SQL page is just called "New" it is hard to locate which is which. >> I'll see what I can do. << *** Views, Tables, Functions etc., in the tree _really_ should display alphabetically. Right now they show in creation order. >> You can sort each node as you wish by using the treeview menu above the treeview. << *** I honestly don't agree on the SQL Memo ALT / CTRL behaviour. >> Which behavior are your referring to ? << i.e. it is brilliant that the "CTRL + I" and "CTRL + U" Indent and Unindent ... just like Delphi ... so I can do it in both places without having to think. >> The editor uses the same exact keystrokes and behavior as the Delphi code editor - the only difference is the word/string selection issue that seems to be so popular lately. << *** I am definitely seeing "not up to date" versions of VIEWS etc., in my EDBMgr it is 2.05 build 1, I will download a newer version if there is one! >> 2.05 B9 is the latest version/build. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Steve Gill | Hi Tim,
<< I'm almost inclined to ditch the editor and put in a straight-up TMemo...seemed to work for DBISAM. >> I'm glad that you're only almost inclined because I really like EDBMgr and the editor. It does need some improvements but overall I like using it (and it's much better than a TMemo). Perhaps you could start a new thread where users could list enhancements they'd like to see. Just a suggestion. SteveG |
