Notepad for developers with a clean and simple UI
The language is C# and runs with .NET 6 using WPF. No other Nuget packages are in use
Beside the default features, the following features are available:
- Parsing and Formatting JSON
- Parsing and Formatting XML
- Working with XPath, Schema and XSLT
- Encode/Decode Base64
- Create GUIDs
- Run regular expressions
- Reading binary formats
- Installer Package
- Experimenting with Syntax Highlightning
- WPF Themes for dark mode etc.
Feature complete! All features I had in mind are implemented.
- This release introduced a settings dialog that allows customizing the behaviour of the tool
- The XML package is complete. XSLT, Schema and XPath are supported
- The tool formats Hex Bytes like (31 32 33 => 1 2 3) and is able to count and format them
- First implementation of a regular expression tool
- Simple GUID creator
- Clean up in the background
- Depending on work load and motivation / feature set of WPF. I will not add a 3rd party control i.e.
- User / Admin Mode indication
- XML Validation tool
Improvements compared to R1.2
- ScratchPad is optional and only visible if required or enabled
- The commands are only enabled if they are applicable. I.e. Save as Binary is not enabled if the current content is a text.
- The About Box links to the web page
This is the first official release of the DevNotePad editor using .NET 6.0 and targets Windows WPF.
- JSON Format / Tree renderer
- XML Format / Tree Renderer
- Text Operations and Hex Byte features
- Base64 Encode/Decode
- UICC features like Applet Converting and TLV decoding
- Open and Save Binary files as Hex Strings
- Scratchpad for storing content for later
- Reload feature.
A few words about the XML formatter. The editor parses the XML as a document. XML snipplets and other may not work. Feel free raising issues with the exception + file. I am trying to find a better implementation, but this will probably result in a release 2.x and the minor release only contains bugfixes.
The editor detects if the opened file has been updated and asks the user for permission before saving. The reload feature reloads the content of an already open file. Think of a log file as an example.
The column calculation runs into an issue when dealing with large files.
