To people that wonder what are the limitations of this demo version :

There are three limitations in this version: you cannot save documents to disk, you cannot print documents and the size of text clips you can copy to the clipboard is limited to 20,000 bytes.


@APC

Good move. All software should be available as a demo.


@All

I registered this nice program that I know since I have an Amiga. What about you ?

And there's a requester which appears every time you start the demo version which mentions these limitations.

Hi,

Can someone check if they have a GR when cutting a maked area
using "Right-Amiga" "x".

Thank you.

Sorry, I can't confirm this, but there is definitely something wrong with the clipboard size limitation. Serves me right for tinkering with the foundations of the editor There will be an update to the editor demo shortly. Sorry again!

You can't confirm because you don't have an A1 or because you don't have this problem?

I order CED last week.... I hope the problem is only with the DEMO.

Thank you.

I have an AmigaOne, but not at work. But there was definitely something in the clipboard handling code which didn't look right.

It is only with the demo. The trouble started when I added the size limitation to the code, which during my humble testing didn't give me any grief.

The updated demo code should be available for download now. This would be CED 5.5.

Good new.... Thank you!

Oups... bad new for the latest demo! same problem when I use the CUT operation.

Thank you.

@elwood

Not me ;p

Hi,

After more testing I did not found why but sometimes I still have a GURU MEDITATION 80000003.

no problem cutting a big area and sometimes a GR when I cut a smaller area and not each times.

Thank you.

thanx a lot for the demo olsen!
did you know that CED crashes when started from within ABC-Shell?
HNL_DK said that it had something to do with CED detaching itself from the shell, can this be fixed in some way? I constantly manage to hang my a1 when editing sources because I accidentally start CED from ABC-Shell.

I told you back then that I was not able to test it, as I do not own CED... and that I was not able to tell anything about it without a crashlog... but IIRC did I find some information on aminet, that gave an idea what could be wrong, but I have no idea... I will try to see if I can find some time to test CED next weekend.

No, that's news to me.

The way CygnusEd detaches from the shell should be compatible with how the operating system allows for this kind of thing. In fact, I talked Colin Wenzel into changing the dos.library API so that programs which need to detach from the shell can do so in a much cleaner fashion. This is what CygnusEd uses, or rather this is what the clib2 code permits which CygnusEd uses.

As for starting CygnusEd every time you want to edit a file: start CygnusEd as a resident process in your User-Startup. Just add "ced -r" to it. Later, you can hit [Right Alt]+[Right Shift]+[Return] to open the editor window (you might want to check the "Hot-start enabled" menu item in the "Global" menu and save these settings as your defaults). Also, when CygnusEd is running in the background its associated "Ed" command can be used to make CygnusEd load a file. This happens without any detaching of any kind and may be safer with ABC-Shell. More on "Ed" can be found in the online documentation.

@olsen

I did just check... "ced" is crashing when ran from abc-shell (/SDK/C/sh) ... "ed" is working fine.

I am going to send you an email

Hi,

Just try the CUT operation and I have a GR:
Any idea?

Having briefly played with the 68k demo (on OS3.9) it looks & feels pretty much like the old CygnusEd. It's rather debatable whether it's worth paying so much (*) for what feels like a minor update: We are still stuck with the somewhat illogical menus, which I know my way around by now, whereas GoldEd (or whatever it's called now) had much better menus that can also be reconfigured anyway. No syntax highlighting either. So this was a missed opportunity IMHO.

On the good side, it's nice to no-longer have to press Alt-Enter all the time! Handling of PC-format text files is great. And the bug fixes for binary editing should come in handy.

Perhaps the price would make more sense if you use OS4 though - being PPC native & handling the improved Intuition properly has to be good.

(* I can't see what the price is, because APC-TCP's shop seems to be broken now. It did work, so I remember it's price wasn't tiny. Oh, and the upgrade was hardly any cheaper - simply not worth the hassle of returning my original CD, which would likely get lost on it's way to Germany anyway...)

The price would be 100% worth it if it supported Folding/Unfolding.

*hint* *hint*
This is a secret subliminal message only for Olsen:

Just try the CUT operation and I have a GR: Any idea?

Sorry, no, this doesn't look as if it pointed to anything suspiciously associated with the cut & paste operation. Based upon the stack backtrace, the crash happens in the print requester, which is entirely the wrong place for a crash to happen under these circumstances.

I don't mean to pry, but this looks like are running the 68k version on OS4. Is that correct? Whatever happens might not be caused by CygnusEd doing something very wrong. It might be affected by a wacky side-effect of clipboard operations in general.

Which is largely because CygnusEd is hard to change. Not just on technical grounds, but also because the users have become somewhat attached to its quirks.

Quote:

The menu layout is another of these quirks. You know, I worked hard to make it possible to change the layout, which was hard-coded. I may have been too much of a chicken here. The layout could have been changed. It's just that with so much of the CygnusEd user interface being in the menu, I may have been too cautious to tinker with it. The more CygnusEd grows, the weirder the menu layout will become. It's been some odd 15 years since the original Amiga User Interface Style Guide was published, but we're still seeing no effects in CygnusEd

Quote:

No syntax highlighting either. So this was a missed opportunity IMHO.

Sorry, no opportunity of that kind available at that time: the editor's architecture is so very different from how other editors work that features such as syntax colouring and folding are not easily added. As I said before in a different thread on CygnusEd, the options for getting syntax colouring or folding to work are few, and each would take a major effort to work, during which the entire editor would have to be largely rewritten.

Quote:

There are still a few nifty features hidden behind the menu structure or magic key combinations. Making the auto-indent feature visible may have just made the editor more useful for many users

Quote:

Handling of PC-format text files is great.

That came out of user's request. It's also one of the few features that TurboText 2.0 had which I envied I also envy TurboText 2.0's folding support, its configurable menus and the fact that you can save keyboard macros as ARexx scripts. All this, and more, is on my TODO list.

Quote:

And the bug fixes for binary editing should come in handy.

The bug fixes which made the long line display/editing possible are but the tip of the iceberg. Problem is, bug fixes to an old program, especially one whose quirks one has learned to live with, aren't much of selling point. Even though the bug fixes are just as hard to come up with as adding new features are

Quote:

Yes, the main target audience are, also because we don't have a native MorphOS port of the current CygnusEd yet, OS4 and 68k (also UAE) users.

Quote:

Well, you get what you pay for. The amount of work I had to put into CygnusEd to make it what it is reflects the price somewhat (to pay for the effort it ought to be higher, but who's going to spend that much money on Amiga software these days?).

Quote:

Oh, and the upgrade was hardly any cheaper - simply not worth the hassle of returning my original CD, which would likely get lost on it's way to Germany anyway...

You seem to have a very low expectations for either the Royal Mail's or the Deutsche Post's ability to lose bulky envelopes in transit. The upgrade rules were recently changed to reduce the cost of overseas customers for mailing in a proof of purchase for an older version. The CD inlay is sufficient now, and if you have a CygnusEd V3 on floppy disk, as published by ASDG, Inc. in around 1992/1993 then the serial number printed on the disk will be do as well.

Quote:

I'd like to have folding, too. The folding support is just about the only reason I still occasionally use TurboText 2.0. To have that in CygnusEd would open up even more possibilities for what you can do with the editor and the text it manages. However, it takes time to make that happen, and it will not happen that soon...
