In other words, read-only regarding the OS.
Regarding OS all applications which do not require alert Device/Service configurations. Is equal most of applications. Regarding OS means regarding services and binaries described by keys in HKLM\SYSTEM, HKLM\HARDWARE, HKLM\SAM, HKLM\SECURITY. Other software and data storage devices(HDDs, HKLM\SOFTWARE hive) are not OS(You are able to delete HKLM\SOFTWARE, HKCR and OS WindowsNT will still work.

you're just playing with words. As I said earlier,
portable app is an app which doesn't leave ANY trace in the system
ANY means ANYWHERE except this app's folder.

OK.
1. Then I have bad news for you. Portable applications by you definitions are impossible.
2. AkelPad will never be portable application by definition.

1. Why?
2. Don't set file associations and keep MRU's in ini (requires changes in the code) or don't save MRU list - and we get portable AP.

1. Why?
How much do you know about WINAPI? About non documented features and side effects? For instance, Last file access time in FS which support it? FS with journaling? How much programs will take care about it(and can revert it) only because you want them to be portable in you definition?
2. Don't set file associations and keep MRU's in ini (requires changes in the code) or don't save MRU list - and we get portable AP.
Do not forget about "Disable saving opened files beyond AP dir." :lol: :lol: :lol:

FeyFre, well, I see you're the master of mental abstractions and useless discussions so I knee before your brilliant mind and stop this conversation.

I suggest, that in the file AkelPad.ini, options set manually placed in a separate section, for example:
[ManualOptions]
DateInsertFormat=
DateLogFormat=
PaintOptions=
RichEditClass=
ShowModify=
StatusPosType=
WordBreak=

Instructor
In the menu View->Colors can not change the color of an existing Color theme.
To change the color, you must save it under a new name.
Could you fix it in the new version AkelPad?

The program includes functions: Increase font (Ctrl+Num+) and Decrease font (Ctrl+Num-).
I need a function: Restore the original font size (eg. Ctrl+Num*).
Instructor, can you do it?

There is no "original" font size. "Increase font" and "Decrease font" are changing setting, not scaling glyphs, so there is not revert point.
If you want switch to some default font quickly, you can assign HotKey for command: Font("", 0, yourfontsize)
See detailed explanation in Hotkeys-Eng.txt

"Original font size" - I had in mind the font size, set when the program starts.
It is set in the file AkelPad.ini.

Yes. And "Increase font" and "Decrease font" changes this setting and do not remember what it was at AkelPad startup.(There is no Undo/Redo mechanisms for settings yo want)

I propose add option to set the browser to open hyperlinks.
Now the link opens only in the default browser.
