Hi Simon,

What do you have in mind as to "uplift the TextPipe ribbon UI" ?

David

It's not that simple, as it depends on Unicode character properties , rather than something you can achieve readily with PCRE. Clearly the first step would be to Normalise to NFD so that the diacritics become separate characters, but there's no simple formula to match " these codepoints are diacriti...

What exactly does a schema mean in the context of a CSV file?

Presumably, it's to validate the syntax of each field in the data?

cf. I'm only familiar with using a schema in the context of validating XML files.

If you examine the extended character properties, you can see (e.g.) data such as the following: Property Value Code Point Type Character Code Point 0304 Age 1.1 Name COMBINING MACRON Jamo Short Name General Category Mn [Mark, Non-Spacing] Canonical Combining Class 2 Decomposition Type None Decompos...

Hi Simon,

It would be a useful feature to have while in the Customise Shell Extensions UI
to select a row and click a button for Open selected filter.

TextPipe replaces each non-ANSI character of the input filename by U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER. This is most undesireable, especially for non-Roman scripts. But even for accented ASCII letters it does this, so it's a critical limitation on it's capabilities. Example: Input file: 04 Niveroù Numbers....

Hi Simon, Aside: The BabelPad Unicode text editor has a Convert menu Other option to Strip Diacritics from selected text. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2r697lnpxb5oioe/Screenshot%202019-02-18%2008.56.46.png?dl=0 http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelPad.html I use BabelPad a lot. Highly recommended!...

Hi Simon, It's still very frustrating that this problem is still not fixed . Will it be fixed in TextPipe version 10.8 ? For future consideration, what would it take to be able to group shell extension options into a tree structure ? Filters in different categories could be more easily selected than...

Hi Simon,

Hi Simon,

Will this issue be fixed with TextPipe version 10.8 ?

A workaround is one thing, but were you able to confirm whether or not my conjecture about data caching was valid?

If so, is there anything that can be done to prevent the bad output that I observed without such a workaround?

David

Hi Simon,

Assuming you received my email of 17 Jan, were you able to make any further progress?

Hi Simon,

Have you thought of a response on this yet?

Hi Simon,
