HTML-NOTEPAD and PackIt

November 03, 2024 — BarryK

Both of these will be in the next release of Easy Scarthgap and Easy Daedalus.

HTML-NOTEPAD
I want a simple WYSIWYG HTML editor, without having to intall SeaMonkey, and HTML-NOTEPAD does the job. Homepage:

https://html-notepad.com/

I looked at this in 2022, and posted an issue to the developer:

https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/issues/225

...got no response from the developer, and he has archived the project in 2023.

I have uploaded the last source that works, here:

It would be a good project to simplify that window; get rid of the "wasted" space either side of the file. Clicking on a web link does open it; however, would like to change that to open remote links in the main browser.

The sciter-ide project has some other examples, including a very nice HTML viewer. Really small, and would make a great local help viewer. Same comment about remote links. Also "Forward" and "Backward" buttons would be good.

PackIt
This is an archiving utility, created and maintained by Jake (SFR in the forum):

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=6868

I have modified /usr/bin/build-rox-sendto, so that right-click on a file or folder and "PackIt" will be shown in the menu. It was before, but buried inside the menu entry "Open With..."; now it is top-level.

A couple of guys on the forum have suggested that UExtract, an archive extraction tool, also created by SFR, be included builtin to Easy; however, I am not convinced, as Easy already has XArchive.
