MyPad V3.0

Thank you for downloading MyPad. Version 1 used rich edit controls, V2 switched to Scintilla. V3 adds spell checking and improved tag options. V1 and V2 permitted users to add custom tags as needed. V2 added FTP file transfer services, but not very friendly. V3 deviates from that in that new tags cannot be added. This permitted me to make the existing tags easier to use. I also added some custom features that are intended for my use, but others can check them out as well. And, the FTP in version 3 is also much easier.

MyPad is mainly for use as a rapid web page creater. It works great with text as well. Most features on the toolbar will not work with text files. They are designed to create HTML tags easily. If you click one of the tag buttons, you will be asked if you want your text (*.txt) document converted to HTML (*.htm or *.html) format. If you click yes, you will then be guided on setting up your web page.

FileMenu

From the file menu has all the usual file stuff, and I added some FTP (File Transfer Protocal) stuff as well. FTP is used for moving your web pages to your website. The main features of the file menu are also on the toolbar

HTML Tags

HTML stands for "Hypertext Transfer Markup Language". It is a methode of informing computers exactly were desired files are located, and how to display them. Most of the tags listed here are pretty simple and straight forward. Some, are over complicated just to support as many options as possible, without the reliance on "knowing" what goes where.

Clicking on any tag with prompt you to setup a "Title" and identify your text document as HTML. The simple tags such as Bold will just be inserted into your text, or around selected text. The more complex tags will have popup dialogs. Most of the tags are available directly from the toolbar.

LCase Tags - This will set all Tags to lower case. This will not affect quoted text such as font names or file names.
LCase Files - Although not technicaly a tag, this setting affects how tags are written. If checked, all tags that connect to external files (images, pages, music) will be lower case. Another bit of warning... If you turn this off (uncheck) and then turn it on (check) you will trigger a page scan. There will be a bit of warning so you can abort, but this can affect all open files, and may take a few seconds to perform. The page scan will scan all open files for external links, and convert them to lower case.
For rappid help file creation
Help Page - This is designed for rapid help page creation. To properly use this option, first open the link dialog and then add a new Target for each section you might need in your page. This list of targets will be saved when you close the dialog. Next click "Help Page" in the Tag Menu. A blank section with a complete contents list (a list of links to all targets) will be created for each target. This way, when you edit the page, you can rapidly jump from one section to another with the "Jump to Target" option from the Edit Menu. And, you won't need to try and remember all the link and targets. The completed Help Page will have the default style inserted.
Help Section - This just adds a blank section with contents at the current point. A help section includes a line seperator and a sub heading with a "marker" to identify the location of the main text.
Help Contents - This inserts your help contents at the current location. Help Contents consists of a link to every target for this page. This way, you do not need to try and remember all the links, just delete the ones you don't need. Use the link dialog to create the list of Targets.
Major Options
Framed HTML - Creates a special web page. This new page will be just frame instructions. You use frames to place images as boarders on your page or to display multiple pages at once. A good example of this is www.archonrpg.com where I have my custom title on the top, and links to my programs on the left, with the main text in the center. Each section is its own page, but these are all displayed in frames on one page.
Blank Page - This marks your previously opened document as an HTML page. This is also done automaticly as soon as you use any HTML tag. The blank page does not have a style section (below).
Body Settings - This sets all the Font size and colors for all headings and links. The default style is inserted in a Help Page, but styles can be customised later by clicking here.
Common Tags - Shortcuts on Toolbar
Page Link Inserts a link to other webpages or to targets on the existing page. This also inserts targets. You can use this dialog to create target lists to be inserted when you insert a contents list. Page Links can also be images.

Image - Inserts an image into your page.

Bullet List - Inserts a bullet list into your page. Bullets are simular to and you have the option of using images as bullets.

Line - Inserts a line tag. A horzontal line accross the page.

Insert Table - Inserts a defined table that is useful for displaying data in rows and columns.

Insert Line Break - Adds line feeds to your page. Useful for providing seperations from different sections.
Paragraph - Starts a new paragraph. The effect is simular to 2 breaks, but forces a better line seperation.

Insert Comments

Insert Code - Sometimes, you need to enter alot of text and you want the white space recognized. This inserts pre-formated text onto your page.

Bold Text - Marks the text as being bold

Underline Text - Marks text as being Underlined

Italics Text - Marks text as being Italics

Center Text - Marks Text as being centered

Heading - Select a heading to use. The settings for each heading is stored in Body Settings. As a general rule, H1 is the largest and H6 is the smallest. The last heading used is the one inserted by pressing (Control + H) or using the toolbar.
Font - Lets you change font color and size. The actual font is not changed, and is left as default for each user to prevent compatibily problems.

Color - Lets you change font color.
Force Insert Space - Web pages ignore spaces and other "white space". The option forces the web page to recognize a space by inserting 4 spaces. If you decide you only need 1, it is a simple matter to simply delete the unwanted spaces entries.

File Transfer (FTP) Account Setup

In general, this simply manages all your online FTP accounts. The password field is sorta optional. I say sorta because if you enter it here, it will be saved (unencrypted) to an INI file. Sure, a hacker can get it from there, but they can also get it by monitoring keypresses. If you are on a shared computer, you should never save passwords anyway. If used on a private PC, then you have some level of safety. If you are worried, leave the password blank. You will still be asked during login, but the password will not be saved at that time. Another factor to consider, when using FTP passwords is what are you protecting. If protecting access to a list of credit cards or bank numbers and pins .... do not use free sofware ... ever !!! But, my website has only software that I wrote, and most of it I give away for free. So, although I am concerned about the security of my website, I do not have any national or private secretes there.

OK. Now that the leagle stuff is out of the way.... How do you set up an account for use? First you will need to add a new user. The User name can be anything you like (waffle,bill,fred...). This is only used for reference on the current computer. Next you will need to Add a New Account. This is normally your login name that you use to log into your account. Next, type in your FTP account site access. For this you need to contact your web server guys. As a hint, it is normally ftp.youraccount.com, but if using a free web host, it could be ftp.freehost.com/youraccount. And you MAY enter a password. Lastly you will need an access protocal for display your web pages. For example, displaying my web pages is http://www.archonrpg.com/ and anything *.htm after the last / can easily be displayed. Thats it. if everything is fine, just save it by clicking OK. Here is the full explaination of all fields and buttons:

User - This is your name, or how you wish to recognize all your accounts on this PC
Account - Your login name you use to access your account. You can have multiple accounts associated with your User name
FTP Site - The host address, or how you would access your account. This needs to be provided to you by your FTP host.
Password - Optional password you use to access your account.
Access - How you would tell other to view your web pages. If comcast was hosting your files, you might say http://www.comcast.new/myaccount/
User - NewCreate a new user. Maybe you have multiple users on this PC, or maybe you have multiple accounts and you wish to sort them by user names ...
Account - NewCreate a new account for the current user
Account - DelThe small delete button delete the current account from the current user
Help - Brings you to this help page
OK - Accept changes and exit dialog
Cancel - Cancel Changes and exit dialog
DELThe big delete button deletes the current user and all accounts for that user

FTP File Transfers

If your account setup is done properly, there will be a delay in displaying this dialog. For my website, its almost 60 seconds because I have about 500 files. When this first loads, it scan your entire website directory tree so you can browse it quickly later. I find this much much nicer than yahoo's file manager. After that, you can do pretty much anything you like. There are some bugs though.

Yahoo like to insert special tracking files into the directory tree... this application can't delete them or rename them.
Currently this program can't rename a directory
Although this program can rename a file, It can't move it to another directory, unless you download it, and upload it to another directory
Some web sites may not support the features of this application. If you find this application can't locate all you files, just email me the particulars (if known) and maybe I can provide an upgrade for that.

OK, and what do all these buttons and things do exactly?

FTP Account: - Shows the current account being displayed
Local Files: - Shows the last directory used for file selection on your PC
Tree - On the left side is a display of your directory tree for your website. Each entry is a file, and you can easily see which directory has which files. There are check boxes by each file. If you desire to perform an action on a file, you must first "check" it.
File List - On the right side is a list of all files you have selected on your PC for possible upload to your website.
Web Side Controls, Left Side
Delete - Deletes all checked files from your website
Add Dir - Creates a new directory on your website
Un Check - Un Checks all selection in web site directory tree.
Rename - Renames the currently selected file in the directory tree. The check box status is ignored because this only affect one file.
>>Download - Download all checked files. You will be prompted for the destination directory.
View - View the selected file. The check box status is ignored because this only affects one file.
PC File Selections
<<Upload - Upload all listed files to currently selected website directory. Only one directory can be a target at a time.
Reset - Removes all files from list. These are note deleted, only removed from the list.
Remove - removes the currently selected file from the list
Help - Takes you to this helpful file
AddFiles - Opens a file requester so you can select files to upload.
Close - closes the FTP connection and closes this dialog. If a file transfer was in progress, it must be terminated first.

Spell Check Dialog

Before Spell checking can be enabled, you must first have a dictionary available. See dictionary for more information on configuring a dictionary. This dictionary is far from perfect. It seems to always suggest the wrong word, but then my spelling is horendous, so any improvement is worth it. Pressing (F4) will start spell checking from the top of your page, (F5) will continue from the current location, and (F6) will only spell check the current word.

Original Word - The text at the top is read only. This text is the original word from your document.
Suggested Word - This is the best word the dictionary found. If you click OK,Suggest, or Add this is the word you are acting on. Clicking OK will place this word into your text, replacing the Original word listed above.
Word List - Below the Suggested word is a list of words. Clicking on a word from the list will replace the suggested word.
Add - This will add the suggested word to the dictionary. A pop-up dialog will appear to confirm the addition.
Suggest - This will check the spelling of the suggested word
OK - Replace the misspelled word with the suggested word

Dictionary Setup

Mypad V3 does offer spell checking, but it does not include a dictionary. A dictionary is just a text file with a list of word. Many dictionaries are free. Also, if you obtain your own dictionary, it can be customized to your own needs. bla bla bla. You can obtain an almost free one at openoffice or wiki dictionaries Almost free simply means its distributed under the new GPL, which basically means you can use it, but not sell it.

To configure the dictionary for use you need to download it to the directory where MyPad is located. Next, you need to rename it from ?? to *.zip. Open the zip file and locate the *.dic file. Just for legal purposes, read the readme.txt file. Copy the *.dic file to the same directory as MyPad. Next, launch MyPad. Open any file, or create a new one and press (F4) to spell check. You will be asked if you want to configure a new dictionary, select YES. You will be asked to locate your *.dic file. All done. You only need to do this once.

If you decide to switch dictionaries later, you will need to open the MyPad.ini file and locate the Spelling section and delete the section. Next time you launch MyPad, you can select another dictionary.

HTML Framing

This creates a special web page. This new page will be just frame instructions. You use frames to place images as boarders on your page or to display multiple pages at once. A good example of this is www.archonrpg.com where I have my custom title on the top, and links to my programs on the left, with the main text in the center. Each section is its own page, but these are all displayed in frames on one page.

This dialog looks complicated, but it actually is settup to display an overview of 5 web pages at once. Each row, identified by different colors, represents a web page. The rest of the options concern the actual size of the page and whether the size is fixed or scrollable. Also, each web page area is identified by a name, such as Panel_1, Panel_2.. The actual web page is described elsewhere, and refered to her by its web link.

These are repeated for each Panel(x)

Panel1 Checkbox - Turn the panel on/off
Scroll Checkbox - This panel has a scrolling region
Fixed Checkbox - This panel cannot be resized
Size - This identifies the size of a scrolling region. The actual size used (width or height) depends on the panel. This is the Height of the center panels (Panel1 or Panel3) or the width (Panel4 or Panel5). You will probably need to test this several times before you get it.
Pixcel Checkbox - The size specified is in pixcels. The default is by percent, which will resize the frames as the page is resized.
Page - clicking this button will browse for a web page to display in the Panel. The button text will change to reflect the current page to display.
Page Layout Buttons
The top and bottom panels (Panel1 and Panel3) are full width. The size settings for these frames indicate Height of panels
The left and right panels (Panel4 and Panel5) are full height. The size settings for these frames indicate Width of panels
Title - This will be the Title displayed on the web window for this page.
Build - Builds this page
Cancel - Close the dialog

Clicking on the Fore or Back color box will call up a color requester permitting you to select a color.

The Line size and border information permit you to design custom line formations. Naturally, some experimentation is required.

Errors and other issues

While editing an HTML document, you may sometimes delete ot otherwise edit the "HEADING", "TITLE", or "STYLE" tags. Please use care when doing this. Most tags should be located in the "BODY" section of your page. If this application should generate a message about not finding one of these sections, it will also state which part. A "HEADING" should have a matching "/HEADING" and a "TITLE" should have a matching "/TITLE" and so on. If you don't want to completely start over, you can add in the missing parts, and all should be fine.

Some images (most of them unfortunately) will not display properly in the dialogs. This is on my to do list. A place holder image

will be displayed instead. You can always open the image in your preffered editor to get the width and height in pixcels.

Manually changing or adding entries into the body style section is not recommended. This is mainly do to how my editor works. Whenever it composes a new body style, it is a new body style and will erase the old one. That is by design. The idea here is rapid page creation. More experienced users will wish to add more options, but the style dialog is pretty crowded as it is. The best option is to either use inline styles or save your custom settings in a seperate file. Sorry, but this application may be too "simple" to save all possible body options.

Media links located in odd locations. This is by design. If you desire a background music to be played, I only support one. To make it easy to find, I locate it in only 1 place. Near the top of the page.

Why add a suggested word to a dictionary? This is by design. Many word processors permit you to edit the word from the original document, and even suggest other words from that word. It is supported here, but differently. My spelling is horendous. So bad that even dictionaries can't guess my words. After doing a few suggestions, I forget the original spelling. Because that annoyed me, the spell checker here has that as read only. But, the suggested word is editable. So, natually, if the word is not found, you click add. At the prompt, you can confirm the correct spelling. Hope this helps.

Current Version 3.0
Build Date 19Nov2010

Fixed path issue. Not only annoying, but also affected View as Web option.

Modified FTP file directory display to only show last 20 letters. Also, this is tied into the Tree-view (for the web sit) so clicking any file, anywhere, will display the path above the user file list. I did it this way as sorta a way to double check target directories to ensure they are correct before you upload.
