My creed is, "Nothing is ever easy." It's not my motto, just my creed. Are there any Latin scholars out there who could translate this for me so I can add it to the family crest?
It took longer than expected, but the Hot Fix Download page is now ready at
www.slickedit.com/hotfixes. A hot fix is one or more files that are applied to a specific version of SlickEdit. Most hot fixes contain one or more macro files, but we also have the capability to distribute libraries.
You install hot fixes using the hotfix loader,
Help > Product Updates > Load Hot Fix. The loader will make sure that the version of SlickEdit matches the version specified in the hotfix. Applying hot fixes to a different version can cause serious problems, and this is not supported. Also, please do not attempt to apply the hot fixes to the SlickEdit Plug-in for Eclipse. We do not test them on that product so we cannot predict the results.
Important!The original version of the hot fix loader had a bug in it that prevents it from loading a hot fix stored in a directory which has a full path containing spaces, such as any directory below "My Documents" on MS Windows. There is a separate hotfix for that problem: hotfix_se1102_hotfix.zip. Please install this first. Yes, there is a hot fix for the hot fixer.
There is no uninstall mechanism for hot fixes. If you install a hotfix and it causes you any difficulty, your remedy is to reload the original macro files. The hot fix loader copies the hot fix files to your config directory, so the original macro files are still in your macro subdirectory. You can also fall back to a previous state by saving a copy of your config directory before installing a hot fix and restoring it if anything goes wrong. Periodically backing up your config directory is a good idea anyway.
