UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

Apparently IDM has not (yet) added the information to the UEM to tell Finder that it is able to edit files of various types. In the meantime, one can choose a file, open the file info dialog, and set UEM as the default application for files of that type. I did this for *.txt and certain others that ...

This appears to be fixed again in 3.3.0.4. Can anyone verify this? Travis

... Is there a way to force a single instance? Stephen There is an option in preferences in the Windows version of UE. Evidently that option has not yet been ported. You may want to send a note to UE support requesting that option to be ported sooner rather than later. :) Travis

Autocomplete no longer works for me with the new release (3.3.0.2 on 10.6.8 ). When I type two letters (my autocomplete minimum number of characters) the box shows up with one or more choices, but the first choice has a grey background instead of bold blue (for me). if I hit the down arrow, the box ...

Apparently this is fixed in UEM 3.1.0.1 on OSX 10.6.8. At least it works for me. :)

First, thanks Mofi for this macro. I was able to use it to solve a problem that I originally thought UC would do for me. As always, people like me want more. 8-) Where should I modify the macro so that, at the end, it marks which file each line left came from? I confess that I am a total newbie with...

I found out a long time ago that if I start UE/UES with a shortcut in Startup, UE/UES comes up and stays up. I can enter DOS commands that invoke UE/UES all day and I get an immediate return. However, if UE/UES is NOT running, invoking the same command waits until UE/UES has exited before I get the ...

Whole books have been written about regular expressions. (Try O'reilly Books.) It will take a while before you get comfortable with them. Note that the latest versions of UE/UES have Perl style regular expressions. They build on the Unix style, but take things to a whole new level of difficulty. :) ...

Go to Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Formatting. Turn off "Auto Indent". That should do it. :) HTH, Travis

Am I missing something? I frequently use UC (3.50 now) to compare three different versions of the same code base. UC will for a give file name, UC will tell me that the files have identical content, even if they each have a different date stamp at the OS level. Do you have date stamps imbedded in th...

UC Pro 3.50 is able to delete multiple contiguous lines with the equivalent of "Delete selected line" for me. There have been substantial improvements since 2.00b. Travis

Got this response from Troy at IDM ... You would probably be prompted to do this before the installation for UltraCompare v3.50 would be offered. All you have to do is run the uninstall and then launch the installer for v3.50 again and it will install the new version. Thanks Troy!

Hi, Just got the announcement about UC 3.5, so I downloaded it. When I went to install it the UC Pro 3.10 Maintenance program came up. Am I supposed to uninstall the prior version of UC before installing the new version? I looked around for installation instructions on the website, but didn't find a...

You can get part of this by choosing Edit ==> Advanced Merge ==> Merge First to Second (Before) or any of the other three choices. It would be nice to be able to copy and paste from one side to the other (or type stuff in). :)

By default, UE keeps the cursor in the actual text. If I add text to a line that extends it to column 25, and the next line only has text to 18, then when I press the down arrow, the cursor jumps back to 19. However, if you go the the Edit tab of the Configuration and turn on Allow positioning after...
