Hi,
this is my first posting to this forum, and I hate it to be a negative one, but I can't help it.
I've been a registered customer for a while now and I love UltraEdit for what it is, a fast versatile editor - no more.
Over the last few versions UltraEdit's startup speed has suffered increasingly. And it's apparently still getting worse. When I started with version 7 or 8, it was indeed a perfect Notepad replacement, it would start in the same amount of time. Now I have to wait 10 to 15 seconds to edit a damn 2 kb text file - on a P4 2.53 GHz, 1024 MB RAM and a relatively speedy HD under WinXP. Can you see why I'm royally pissed ?
From previous postings here on the forum I understand that this is caused by the copy protection attached to UltraEdit.
I can perfectly understand that the developer wants to protect his Software, and I'd be happy to support that, but not at the cost of my productivity.
It's just a pain in the ass to use it right now, and if this doesn't get any better, I'm afraid I'll be looking for another editor in the future.
