5.12 - [10.04.2017]
* updated sending of parameter "-param" to run.p (there was again problem with run, check & compile). Now i send it as the last parameter, because PROGRESS take it all after this command as part of the parameter (ignores "")

5.13 - [17.04.2017]
+ Added "Track Changes in margin" feature. If you edit some line a small color square appear on the left margin. Yellow - line was changed, Green - changed line was saved. It will last until you close file. It's very simple based, so there can be some glitches. If you return line to original state, line stay marked because in past there were changes so mark don't disappear

5.25 - [01.11.2017]
+ Added option to display the file information in the window title - Filename Only, Filename and Directory and Full Pathname
+ When you clone window then it's opened default on top of current window
+ Support for abbreviated keywords. This allows to define language keywords using a compressed syntax, e.g.: char(acter, var(iable. No more missing syntax keywords due abbreviation!
* Changed behavior of F8 (Show Tables, Fields) Now pressing the ENTER, TAB keys just write TABLE without opening FIELDS list. Pressing "." key write "." to source and automatically opens FIELDS list to continue selection. Before you must always press F8 to continue selection

Now is default Multi. Before it was Block so if you don't like this style change it in settings back

5.31 - [25.12.2017]
+ Added support for emulation of Progress encodings so output looks now better for some encoding cases. Before was conversion done by Microsoft internal encoding algorithm. Currently added some CP850 replacement: "Progress -cpstream IBM850 -cpinternal ISO8859-1" and "Progress -cpstream IBM850 -cpinternal ISO8859-15". -cpstream and -cpinternal are Progress startup parameters. New emulated encodings provides better look like previous CP850
+ Added ability to change font size for explorers
+ Added Copy to clipboard inside code explorer (shortcut + context menu), removed copy tree content button
* Rewritten startup sequence (slightly faster startup)
* Rewritten code explorer to use better treeview component
* Fixed broken statusbar (since 5.25). Nobody noticed it? :)
* Fixed manual change of the highlighter (styling was broken when you change PROGRESS -> TEXT)
- Removed support for codepage ISO 8859-15 (Latin 9)

5.33 - [13.03.2018]
+ Added syntax highlighting for JSON files
* Removed multiple space on triggers in code explorer (parsing sources with unstructured code type)
* Again tweaked some codepages: "Western European (850)", "Progress -cpstream IBM850 -cpinternal ISO8859-1" and "Progress -cpstream IBM850 -cpinternal ISO8859-15". Now they are displayed on background as Western European (1252) (before Central European). There was problem that user can't type specific characters.
* Updated run.p - removed Piew path from parameters, it's not used anymore and made trouble if this path contains space
* Updated run.p - Fixed message by source checking: "Compile aborted. SAVE not specified and r-code file exists: (468)" It's case when source code has already rcode in the same dir. We don't want overwrite original rcode so we save it to the temp dir and delete after
* Updated main dll (4.0.3)
* Updated docking system (3.0.4)
* Updated converter for Visual Studio color schemes (v1.30). Added support for JSON style

Is there an option to open the file-explorer in the file-containing folder?

Piew now remember last opened directory. Maybe your solution it's better. I will make this change:
- If you open empty Piew without file - just initialize last directory
- If you open Piew with file (first launched file, opened via parameter, doubleclick on source in windows) -> initialize file-explorer in file directory
- Other opened files in the same session (opened with drag & drop or via menu) -> don't touch file-explorer

What do you say? Any other ideas?

Sounds good to me, didn't think of that :), but I meant the windows-file-explorer, not the built-in one. After editing files I have to move them to e.g. SVN or do other tasks with it. And as the filepath is unnecessary long it's tedious to go there. An option similar to notepad++ would be great. Rightclick on tab/filename -> "Open containing folder in explorer" or "Open containing folder in cmd".

I really apprechiate your work, marvellous editor. Simple, light-weight and smooth *thumbsup*

I'm missing one function: "search in files". Is this possible ?
Maybe i can add some button to File explorer. Existing Piew Find dialog will be displayed and will search in current path or in filtered files.
Or another idea, button that add extra searchbox bellow search files. First time user enter in text box and filter useful files (or keep empty for searching in current path). Then enter to searchbox some string and hit enter - Piew will search target files (but here we miss some settings from dialog: case, whole word ...)
Also there can be problems with various codepage problems (searching for special characters) but this we can fix it later :)

Hi, is it possible to start Piew with connected DB? Otherwise the syntaxcheck doesn't work for me. Thanks in advance :)

If you press Syntax check button i call PROGRESS on the background to do this job. So try check your settings. Configuration .pf files usually contains also database connection. If you use the same .pf and .ini files (as you use for run of the original application) -> there should be no problem.

So all magic is doing on PROGRESS side, therefore i can't start Piew with already connected DB. See picture for example configuration (use own or application .pf and .ini files)

Is there a possibility to export/import the settings in order to install Piew on another PC?
Run regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Piew , use menu File \ Export. On target PC just double-click your *.reg file.
