Hi all.

I found MM Edit, and like it much.

One thing I have noticed, and this may be a Windows 8 issue, is that the Preferances are not being remembered.

If I tick START WITH NEW FILE, then click SAVE, then EXIT, then close MM Edit and restart, the last file keeps getting loaded back in again.

If I set the font to 3 in the Preferences in the same way as above, when you restart MM Edit, it keeps resetting the font size to Medium, and in the case of the font setting, when you go back into Preferances, the font size is 1 again - it does not stay at 3 no matter what.

Also have to manually turn of LF markers and dots for spaces every time I load MM Edit, as it is not remembering these settings either.

Is it just me and/or not being Win8 compatible perhaps?

EDIT: OK, I rebooted computer, and now it seems to be remembering what I select with the tickboxes in Preferances. MM Edit now starts with a blank page, and no LR or dots for spaces. However font problem is still there. No big deal, I can select biggest font size when I load the code file I guess.Edited by Grogster 2013-07-13

The font problem is not a Window 8 problem, it also occurs on W7.
Something for me to fix...

If you remove the "always start with these settings:" option and set things to suit your working style, the settings last used including the font size ARE remembered between sessions.
You can do this but still have the "start with a new file" option selected.

Windows 8 did give me a few problems but I think the latest version of MMEdit (3.3.6) solved most of them. There may be a few security issues to raise their ugly head and prove me wrong.

I have uploaded V3.3.7 which should have fixed the font size problem.

You can either download the full program from my website or simply replace MMedit.tkn in the program folder with the one in the attached zip.

Time to go and have that beer.

Yes, that worked fine on 3.3.6

I will download the new version anyway.

F@#&ing great little program!

Colour syntax and all - great!

I will be using this more often from now, and just upload and test the program on the actual MM. This should also totally bypass my keyboard problems I was having. At least during code development anyway.
