I see the flickering too. I can even reproduce it by creating a simple form with just a rich text box and typing a lot. However, I compiled one using 2.0 beta and I did not see a flicker. You mentioned making a version using 2.0, maybe try that?

Also a bug. If you close all documents (with the smaller x) and just have the empty background, clicking "Edit" will throw an "Index was out of range" exception. Thought you should know.

Thanks for that. I also created a simple nothing app to test out of it wasm y app or not and saw that it wasn't just me. I will try compiling and coding it in 2.0.

Thanks for that bug report, I know why it's doing that.

2.0 is really nice. Heck, it has project options built right in for single instance mode and visual styles. Shame that with single instance mode you can't use a custom sub main and therefore lose the ability to read command line arguments

Not sure if this has been suggested,  but it'd be nice if you could "middle-click" on the tabs, and it'll close them... like firefox's tabs.

already implemented into 0.4. I'm converting over to the .net 2.0 framework. You guys will have to get it to use the next version. The only thing that has suffered from this conversion, is that when you switch pads when they are maximized, you see a brief flash of the pads in the background. I'm working on that, but everything else is running smoothly.

ERROR: :(

I havent seen the other posts but NexPad doesnt work on my office pc. Error: "The dynamic link library mscoree.dll could not be found......". I am on W2000 sp4

That is an odd error. You have .Net framework 1.1 installed with any service packs that may be available for it?

awesome. (Y)

Just noticed only happens when all pads are closed.

Well clicking edit results in:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
 ? ?<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

hehe All right cool. Guess I missed it a few more pages back. ;)

Nice job. I really like. Just one request atm. An option to minimize to system tray when minimzing and or closing.

584905063[/snapback]

That's been requested before. I'll have to consider it if I get single instance mode ever working properly.

All right cool. Um well maybe print preview too. hehe

Also just noticed save as with empty pad again u get that error. So u fixed that too I would imagine. :) And just save as well, of course.

Also the size and window placment of the internal window needs to be rememberd.

Paing having to always resize and move to where you want it every time when starting a new pad.

Just make sure you cant make it better than the external window or your scewed. Of course u can just remove size of setting file as i imagine thats were you would save it but still.

Also a Save All option would be nice so it saves all pads. :)

And maybe "Save And Exit" and "Save All And Exit". :)

Also an option to only allow one instance of the program would be nice.

I just noticed something really insignificant :/ Under filetype of open or save as, it's *txt not *.txt, was this just an oversight or intentional?

And two features I'd like to see would be a display of what line number you're on, maybe also add addition to find to jump to a line, and the ability to highlight specific sections of text.

That's a minor flub, nothing major. Line number is in. Turn on the status bar and look in the bottom right.

Other options, I will look at.

Using it now, good work. Whats CJV Coding? I saw that while attempting to ResHack it. (cant do much with reshack, I just want to change the icon :), thats all I see anyways)

584916796[/snapback]

Just a little nickname I gave to my one man wanna be company, lol. CJV are my initials. Can you reshack a .net app?

Well damn that sucks. :(

Well I hope you figure it out soon.

And thanks for all your hard work and time.

584960209[/snapback]

It does suck cause I can not find any damn work around. It does give me time to find a lot of extra bugs, though. I'm trying all I can for you guys. Besides that drag and drop bug, 0.4 is shaping up to be a pretty damn good release.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.
