- Also, the Windows RDP client allows you to tune the remote control based on the bandwidth/latency of the link. Here's how to do that in the client installed on Win7 x64: Click on the "Show Options" button in the lower left corner, then the "Experience" tab. The default is to "Detect connection quali...Posted in Editor Display

- We have reproduced this recently (in fact the first report came in yesterday), and we are investigating. Well, that doesn't make me feel great about waiting so long and never following up on my bug report. I don't know if it would have resulted in a hotfix any sooner (I'm not sure how active sustai...Posted in UEX General Discussion

- Please please report this issue so they're aware that it affects more than one or two people. Someone else reported it on the forum before then (in a now deleted post), but I'm not sure if that person contacted IDM support. I reported this problem to IDM in June 2015 and they verified that they can ...Posted in UEX General Discussion

- I would guess that the reason some build of UE did not support XP is because with some newer Visual Studio development environments, support for XP as a target was removed and had to be manually re-enabled after an update from Microsoft. It's no secret that MS has been reducing support for XP for a ...Posted in UltraEdit General Discussion

- In case anyone finds this useful, here's what I do to associate file types with something better than the stock notepad. As far as I know, this is completely supported by Microsoft: # the following to use notepad2 for inf, ini, and txt files: ftype inffile=c:\util\notepad2.exe "%1" ftype inifile=c:\...Posted in UltraEdit General Discussion

- It would be nice if UEx would first look in the home directory: "/home/username/.idm/uex/wordfiles" then if a wordfile isn't found there look in the shared "/usr/local/share/uex/wordfiles" directory.Posted in UEX General Discussion

- If you use the "Compare EXE=" setting in UEStudio.ini (or uedit32.ini if you're using UltraEdit) to specify a custom comparison program, you will no longer have the option of comparing selected text. As a start to working around this problem if instead of adding a "Compare EXE=" setting, you replace...Posted in UEStudio General Discussion

- UEx 15.1.0.0 installs a wordfile at least for Bash. This wordfile is configured for files with the extension ".sh" or ".csh". UEx also seems to recognize at least some shebang strings to apply this wordfile to. For example, the extensionless file "git-pager" on my system has the Bash highlighting ap...Posted in Syntax Highlighting

- The toggle between between flat and tree-style list can be done easily by right clicking into the Function List view and left click on Flat List Yes - the problem is that I don't even remember that there's a setting like this until I poke around for a while in irritation that the list is broken. I ...Posted in Syntax Highlighting

- For some unknown reason every now and again my function list gets set to the "Flat List" mode, which for all intents and purposes breaks the function list window into something completely useless (I'm generally looking at C and C++ code which might be a factor here). Unfortunately this happens infre...Posted in Syntax Highlighting

- Perhaps as part of any support request regarding this problem someone might suggest that IDM consider using registration-free COM binding techniques. Basically a manifest file deployed in the application directory can enable COM to find the DLLs without them being registered in the registry (the nor...Posted in FTP/SFTP / SSH/Telnet
