  1. Is there a way to Undo changes you made to a file in the Edit window,

    AFTER you saved the file? (this is possible in DN OSP)

     

    I found a setting in Configuration -> Editor setup, named "Save clears undo",

    but it is not saved when NDN exits. The setting will always be ON.

    Besides that, the help mentions a different name for the setting:

    "Clear Undo when save".

     

    I would really like to be able to Undo after saving!

  2. The Options -> Configuration -> Colors dialog box behaves in quite a

    strange manner:

    * its title is 'Copy ~a~s'

    * the "Unknown w" and 'Enable b' buttons could use a more descriptive name

    * if "Default" is selected, the color(s) radio buttons have at least one

    strange entry, #03'%drepla'

    * the sample text is #03'Error in regula'#13#03in pos %d$70' (is this intended?)

    * the 4x4 foreground and background color areas have different titles,

    'Color' and 'Colors'

     

    Hope this helps,

  3. The ndn.ext entry for *, { @start "!.!" }, has the nasty side

    effect that you cannot enter an archive stored inside another

    archive because you'll "start" the inner archive.

     

    Even after deleting the NDN.ext entry for *, how DO YOU enter

    an archive inside another archive?

     

    Since this bug seems (maybe remotely) related to the NDN.MNU bug,

    sorry it has been fixed in the release AH is about to upload (you can

    close the topic in that case).

     

    Hope this helps,

  4. I can confirm this on WinXPSP1, NDN 2.14.5055

     

    I thing this is a NDN v2.14 Build 5055 specific bug... Because Alt Test version doesn`t have this bug...

     

    BTW, where can I download this Alt Test version?

     

    A related bug is that Quick launch 1 (Ctrl+Shift+F1) doesn't work due to the setting

    in dn.xrn:

     

    >[1
    cmd

     

    That seems to be a setting for OS/2, and if you change it to

     

    >1
    cmd

     

    It will launch cmd.exe.

  5. NDN will display a blank viewer window after viewing a file with an

    external viewer. How to reproduce:

     

    1. In Options -> External Viewers file, add

    exe: dir !.!

    2. View with the external viewer (F3 or Alt+F3) any .exe file

    3. The "viewer" will execute quickly and you'll get the blank window.

    4. The bug won't reproduce if you view the same file again without

    viewing another file in the meantime or restarting NDN.

     

    Hope this helps, Dan


  6. When I run the command line "cd \network_path\here", NDN correctly changes

    the active panel to the network path and shows the remote files, but the free disk

    space is displayed as "-1 bytes".

     

    This has the nasty side-effect that you won't be able to copy anything to

    a network path!

     

    Example:

    cd \\192.168.2.2\transfer

    (probably you have to login to that folder first by opening the

    "\\192.168.2.2\transfer" from Start Menu -> Run.

     

    Can someone confirm this please?

     

    I already reproduced this behavior with NDN 2.14.5055 W32 on Win2KPro and

    on WinXP SP1.


  7. I tend to agree with dimases here:

     

    If "Use system clipboard" is enabled, NDN will convert certain extended

    ASCII characters to standard ASCII (notably the line drawing characters).

     

    Is there a way to disable this?

     

    DN OSP doesn't make this conversion, which is fine, for example,

    when you copy SmartPad chunks. In NDN, they'll end up like:

     

    (--NDN-- 31.05.04 18:13:48 ------------------------------------)

     

    instead of the original

     

    (──NDN── 31.05.04 18:13:48 ════════════════════────────────────)

     

    This conversion problem appears even when you copy inside NDN.

     

    Besides that, the Windows application which the user will paste text in

    could be set to use a "terminal" font such as Lucida Console, so the

    characters will look as intended. Maybe this automatic coversion should

    be made optional.

  8. 1. Define an NDN.HGL entry for some filetype, e.g. *.PL, to contain

    StringFlags 3 (this should consider \" and \' as " and ' respectively).

     

    2. Edit a file matching *.PL

     

    3. Type the following line:

     

    before "a\"b" after

     

    Notice NDN highlighting correctly the quoted string and the text around it.

     

    3. Delete the 'b':

     

    before "a\"" after

     

    Notice NDN highlighting 'after' as part of the string.

     

    Maybe this is a remnant from Pascal-like quote interpetation, where two consecutive

    quotes are collapsed into one quote?

     

     

    Hope this helps,

  9. NDN Win32 crashes with an access violation in flpanel.pas (line 768) if the

    total width of a column display mode exceeds 256.

     

    1. Options -> File Manager -> Column defaults -> Find

    2. Edit mode 1 to column types "NP" and widths "100,157"

    3. Get some results in the file panel

    4. Switch to mode 1 (Ctrl+2, Ctrl+1)

     

    Hope this helps,

  10. 1. Random Smartpad filename when opened from a dialog box:

    Open a dialog box (e.g. Configuration -> System setup, press Alt+Q, type something,

    press Escape and notice NDN asking for a weird filename to be save, when it should not

    ask at all. Plus, if you press ESC, you won't return to editing the SmartPad, but you'll

    just LOSE changes.

     

    2. Configuration -> Interface -> 4 dig. Year:

    Doesn't work for ^Q,D and Smartpad separator

    Its help entry lists a wrong hotkey: Ctrl+Alt. It's only Ctrl.

     

    3. Ctrl+G and Alt+G seem to do the same thing

    Both recurse through subdirectories

     

    3. Alt+Space doesn't activate the system menu (I disabled its handling by

    Windows from the .pif settings, of course)

     

    4. Highlight groups:

    *.mpg in two groups

    *.it repeatedly

    '*' doesn't match anything (tested as wildcard for Directories; *.* worked)

     

    Hope this helps,

    Dan
