Good software, but has one drawback (for me): I need to update the window content, when modified by an external application, silently, without asking, if I want to reload the document (a log file). Unfortunately, there is no option for this. It always asks me by a pop-up window, if I want to reload ....

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

It's my favorite editor, during many years now. Simple, but with surprisingly many features, and very customizable. The only problem is its poor documentation. When you want to do something more complex, not so intuitive, then it can be hard to figure how. Many instructions for programmers, but not so for end-users. Though people in forum give advice rather soon, I would prefer ready docs on how to do all things, and that these docs would be well organized in one place or in a single hub (rather than pieces of info in various strange places).

I like it in the main, could get the spell check happening, though, familiar story there, I'm afraid. Woefully inadequate instruction + description of what the 4 different spell check plug ins do + how you'd go about getting them up + running. I then realized there was a 64 bit version which is how I ended up here on SourceForge, but apparently it's a secret of some kind, or perhaps you need to be a "member" of some group, I don't know? It's not immediately apparent like the other versions, if I didn't know it existed I certainly wouldn't find out about it here, there's more chance of me writing one for myself! I can't rate Support (below) as I have no experience of it, however, given what I know of the available instruction I imagine that inexperience won't apply for too much longer.
