Ok guys, let me know what you want me to do. 0.4 BETA is ready to ship with the exception of that one drag and drop bug. I can either keep waiting until the December BETA of visual Basic express is released or I can simply disable the drag and drop event on the text box, for now. You would still be able to drag and drop files simply by dropping them on any other part of the window except for the text box. Which do you want?

nice program, I like  (Y)

Thank you. Once I get that bug sorted out (hopefully when the next 2005 express is released), I will get 0.4 out the door. Let me tell you, it's a lot more complete and I have gotten quite a few bugs fixed. I would post the changelog, but I want it to be a surprise lol.

It's not dead at all, just waiting on the December release of VB .Net 2005 so I can hopefully figure out how to fix that one bug. I had asked a while back and no one answered. I can release 0.4 today, if you want, but I will have to disable drag and dropping of files, from explorer, into the area where you type text. You will still be able to drop the files anywhere else on the form and have them open in NexPad, but dropping files into the textbox where you type, right now, leaves a link to the file that I do not want appearing. This behavior is new to the 2.0 framework.

Just a quick reproducable bug notice, not sure if this has been posted yet:

Open nexpad.exe, then hit the X (almost top right) to close the inner document window, but not the program. Then try to open the edit menu. It crashes the program and I get this error message. Anyone else get this?

I'm running Nexpad 0.3 Beta on XP SP2

So you guys know, I will most likely wind up disablign dragging and dropping into the text area and only keep it enabled in the main window controls (such as the tab bar) and release 0.4 soon. I want to clean up some messy code, but, other than that, it's been ready for way too long and I need it released so I can take in people's reactions and see where I should go with the project next.

Ok, either today or tomorrow I will finally get 0.4 out the door.

On a side note, I didn't get single instance in, yet, but as VS 2005 shapes up and some more documentation comes out, it may be easier than ever. Just hang in there, please.

NexPad 0.4 is finally released. Please note, NexPad 0.4 now requires the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0. Here is the changelog:

so, you ported this to .Net 2.0 and now require us to use a Beta framework to use this? :\

585231876[/snapback]

The framework is stable as can be. I ported it over almost immediately after the released of 0.3 and it runs fine. The major problem with 1.1 framework was a horrible flickering bug in the text box region that could not be fixed. The 2.0 version corrects this bug and gives me a lot more room for expansion in the future.

- Wasn't is so, like you need to declare kinda a buffer for it, so the flickering stops (richtextbox)

- The single instance thingy... I had code for it, if I'll find it, I'll post it. (It was 1 line of code, I remeber it was in the System.Diagnostics namespace.... anyway, lemme search.)

Nice Application :) (Y)

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
