NEditers,

Due to a sudden and very large increase in the amount of traffic for the
NEdit domain which the NEdit wiki can't handle, we've taken the wiki
offline. We're investigating the causes and solutions for the technical
issues.

offline. We're investigating the causes and solutions for the technical
issues.

It turned out that the wiki was on the receiving end of some spamming
activity, and was not handling that very gracefully. We've updated the
software to the latest version, we've disabled autoregistration, and the
wiki is online again under close observation.

If you need an account, or you have trouble logging in, contact us
through one of these lists. We've also done some rigorous cleanups. If
we've been a bit too rigorous, let us know, and we'll retrieve any
content that has gone missing from backup.

hi,
opening two or more files, should focus be on the first opened files, or
on the last tab as now?

Is there a parameters to force opening in read/write of a file with a
binary part, that trigger the read only behavior by Nedit?

thank you,
Valerio

It's the last file opened that receives focus, as you say. Is this right? I
don't know. It doesn't bother me.

Is there a parameters to force opening in read/write of a file with a
binary part, that trigger the read only behavior by Nedit?

A binary file becomes read-only if NEdit cannot handle the content properly.
If all byte values are used in a file NEdit won't be able to find a substitute
for the null (code-point 0) character, which it uses as a string end marker.
If it can't use another character (internally) instead, it will just allow you
to look at the content, but not to change it - completely read-only. That is
the case for executables, corefiles etc. (I actually find viewing corefiles
with NEdit can be useful.)

Hope this helps,
Tony.

thank you,
Valerio

I am curious why the question has been raised. Any issue with current behavior?

I am curious why the question has been raised. Any issue with current

behavior?

Often I open many files on the command line using wildcards.
Seems to me that bringing focus on last opened files it is right behavior when
opened using UI.
Opening by command line parameters, should be the first opened file to have
the focus.

Is there a trick to automate/force the focus on a particular tab?

understand.
Sometimes I need to open RAW and partially decoded emails with Nedit.
When these RAW files are encoded, do not use all byte values and Nedit can
open them in write mode.
When these files are partially decoded (for example an attached image or word
processor file), Nedit do not let me to simply delete the binary part, and
edit the body text part or simply re-save the text only part.

Is there a simple method to force write mode to only delete binary part and
resave?

thank you in advance,

Why would you think so? To me, the last should have the focus.

Maybe put the file you want to have the focus last?

The logic behind that is:
I want to edit file1, file2 and file3.
So start editing file1, switch to file2, end with file3
Anyway was only a personal opinion, I understand others may prefer the
opposite

in my case I open files with wildcards ( Nedit file* ), so I cannot
control how the shell expand them, but I saw that bash fill Nedit
command line with: file1 file2 file3

No, but you can easily filter out the nul-chars using a filter in an empty
nedit window, eg
tr -d '\000' < mybinaryfile
then hitting Shell->Execute Command Line (usually ctrl+KPEnter) to run it as a
shell command. The output goes on the next line. You could make a shell menu
command or a macro command to do this easily.
