SmEdit for Windows

User Reviews

• unique text editor that have been using for 4 years

  secondary004October 31, 2008

  Pros

  I have tested lots of text editors (notepad replacements etc.pp.) and stuck with smedit despite it's optical shortcomings (use the skin!). program is very stable. it has great features like configurable auto-save and text overwrite protection.

  Cons

  - message windows have nonstandard yes/no inversion (but you get used to it). - you might need to read in the (well written) help file - ugly icon - scroll bar has small display glitch - interprogram cut and paste loses formatting sometimes

  Summary

  one of the unique features is the ability to prevent accidental deletion of text. not even hitting tab (as might happen when multitasking) while some text is selected will delete the selected text with this option. the program is highy configurable but still very slim. the auther has always responded to requests and even added new features that I requested. one of the few programs I actually felt I should pay for because support was so good. dont let you be deterred by the imho rather ugly homepage.

• Doesn't handle large files

  July 10, 2002

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  Attempts to load the entire file to memory, bringing the system to a halt while trying to load large (>200MB) files. Also, the uninstall dangerously deleted all files from the installation directory, even if they weren't put there by the installer.
