SlickEdit® / Re: Slickedit very slow on 10M file
« Last post by Clark on December 08, 2023, 08:40:33 PM »You would need the your original json file to be sure this fixed your original performance problem (Especially since json is color coded and txt files are not).
The problem I ran into is a test file I had which was 1 gig of 'a' characters (nothing else!). On Linux, SlickEdit would take a while to split the lines into 4-8k chunks when opening the file (no bug there). However, then when you hovered your mouse over the crazy amount of 'a' characters a hex regex would take forever because it was matching all of them. The fix was trivial. Simple to change the regex to only match up to 32 hex characters. I also fixed some other regex number matching which matched other character sets.

SlickEdit® / Re: Slickedit very slow on 10M file
« Last post by astromme on December 08, 2023, 06:56:11 PM »I applied the hotfix. I don't still have the file that was causing problems, so I did this:
Then I opened the file in SlickEdit and did a replace of \n to nothing. SlickEdit hangs for a while, then shows that it did SOME of the find/replace in the window while the search/replace is still active, then if I switch away to another window, offers to stop searching. I look at the file and there's about 250k ys on a single line, and about 250k on separate lines.
I can't necessarily say this is the same thing as my original problem.
Code: [Select]
yes > test.txt
truncate test.txt --size=1000000Make sure you hit control-C on the yes command immediately cause that file gets big PDQ.Then I opened the file in SlickEdit and did a replace of \n to nothing.

Features and/or Improvements / Project Properties > Tools > Output to Build Window only
« Last post by Dennis on December 08, 2023, 06:45:21 PM »I would like to have an option to configure a project tool to output to the Build window, but not activate the build window. For example, I created a custom tool to run clang-format on the current file, I want to see results in the Build tool window, but I want focus to remain on the current file, independent of whether I have "Send Output to Editor Window" enabled or not in the Build Window.

SlickEdit User Macros / markdown preview command
« Last post by Dennis on December 08, 2023, 06:35:02 PM »Adds markdown-preview command, similar to html-preview which coverts markdown to HTML and previews file.
Leaving it as an exercise for the user to add code to clean up the temp file.

SlickEdit® / Re: Q: How can i set that search should ALWAYS default to Current Buffer?
« Last post by Clark on December 08, 2023, 05:32:00 PM »There isn't an option for this. When there is a selection in the current file, it always assumes you want to search within the selection ("Current Selection").
The "Select Text (if exists)" option is a search string initialization option and doesn't affect that combo box.

« Last post by LBCEi on December 08, 2023, 02:06:08 PM »I think turning off the "Selected Text (if exists)" option under "Search string initialization" might do what you want.

« Last post by Bamsen on December 08, 2023, 09:56:38 AM »Thank you!
I found it in user.cfg.xml which pointed me to default highlighting.
I did not know the highlighting profiles too window even existed, but I must have played with it at some point.
