The total votes of ALL polls (at the bottom, below the "------------") was being computed incorrectly It's fixed. Last week, the total number of votes was 539, not 682.
To davegr and CJ: I know that honest mistakes caused your invalid polls, but it's just too much time to make the ranking-generator code robust enough to handle these types of errors. If you're interested in having them in next week's ranking, please recreate your post.
Sorry. :' (

There were only nine votes this week. I am considering posting this list at a slower pace (bi-weekly or monthly) if there are not many new votes during each week.
If you like weekly updates, then consider encouraging other forum members to vote in existing polls, and also for enhancement posters (especially for those suggestions you like!) to put in a properly-formatted poll.

Hi Jeffy...
Monthly would be fine.
I think the biggest issue is that the non-included list is growing. Too bad there is no way to make new polls conform to the specs that were initially requested.
And it is also a lot of work for someone to scroll through all of the polls that they have not yet voted on; it would be nice to have the forum do a filter of those items.
The overall weighted ranking you have calculated helps to cut through basic statistics like percentages which can really be misleading. It is interesting to note that after all these polls, that the weighted ranking of Editable Macros is still 50% higher than the second highest item.
Would also be interested to see some comments from Helios about their observations, plans, etc. re the enhancement request postings.
Good work, thanks for your independant efforts.

Hello Jeffy....
Since 4.7 is released I am curious to see how many of the enhancement requests were actually implemented. When you get a chance is there any possiblility of comparing the request list you have been maintaining against the release notes. Add another column to reflect the release level that implements a request? Maybe some of the existing requests will show up in 4.8?
I believe that editable macros has been on the top of list for months, but really obvious was that editable macros were not included. Actually saw no mention of any changes affecting macros at all.

I believe only the "highlight current line" request was done. I'll add it to the exclusionary list, under a new "Implemented! :' )" type.

I don't expect any major changes until 5.0. Macros are likely to be completely overhauled, so effort to dedicated to making any macro-related changes at this point would only result in wasted effort, as they would only be useful *until* 5.0.
Only three more years to go until 5.0! Woohoo!

Missing features and lost potential users
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2003 2:22 am

The features/enhancements being voted on in this forum are by people already using Textpad. However, there are missing features that block new users from taking on Textpad as their favourite editor. This large 'hidden' group will not be voting on this list.
Before going on, maintaining this list is great for the existing users and you should be congratulated for your efforts.
As for 'missing features', a text editor should have a minimal set of functionality to be useful. For me as a software developer, a minimal feature not in Textpad is method, or function, lists. Other editors, like Ultraedit, have had them for years. Brief, an editor once an industry standard, had method lists ten plus years ago. (Funny how some of the features that were with Brief and some purchased macros have only been recently (in the last few years) been added to other editors
).
Other developers I have shown Textpad to have said: 'Nice, but it does not have method lists'.
This missing feature is blocking me from using Textpad. I reluctantly started using Ultraedit two years ago. But I keep coming back to Textpad, a great product, hoping this feature has been added. I first requested method lists as an enhancement five plus years ago when Textpad 3 was first released.

Textpad's a text editor, not a programming development platform.
As a hardware engineer writing VHDL, method or function list production
is redundant functionality that I don't need/want. The software
development aspects of Ultraedit are probably what steered me to
Textpad.
> Other developers I have shown Textpad to have said: 'Nice, but it does
> not have method lists'.
If your methods and functions have known declaration syntax and are
you just want a list of these in the current file you should be able to
do it with Grep.
Briefly, I wanted a search for any occurence of the selected text in
the current file found. This could be changed to find any occurence
of your method/function declaration and attached to a tool button.
Do a search of my posts, or there's a pointer on the 'How To' forum,
for details.
Hope this helps,
Nial.

Just to repeat what I've, and others have said before...
In order to make these rankings successful, there are two things that really need to happen, both requiring "mods" of the PHPbb software.
The first is a way to auto-populate the polll with the "standard" five-option poll, with a single button to delete all five options at once, and where the question and options can be edited by the poster.
Second, there needs to be a way to view all posts for which you've not yet voted.
So, anyone with knowledge of PHP and/or PHPbb want to take a stab at this?

Hey Jeffy,
Any chance we'll get an update any time soon?
This thread should be stickied, for easy reference by developers.
