Missing feedback
At least on XP and on slow peripherals, when deleting a lot of files (I usually do it by clicking on the relevant arrow to "copy nothing" to the other pane) there is no user feedback that the operation is accepted and in progress. EDP seems locked until the progress dialog "Sorting it...

Re: No (more) copy of empty directories
In the attached screenshot, E:\tmp is empty and D:\tmp contains (only) an empty subdir called "foo".
All the commands to copy (create) the empty directory in the other pane are disabled.
I think previously it was possible to do that kind of copy, or my memory is cheating me?![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)

No (more) copy of empty directories
Comparing trees, there is no way to copy (create) empty directories from a pane to the other.

Plugin changes not stored
In my usual XP machine I tried to change the pdf plugin to use an older version of PDFtoText as I already did with the previous versions. The change is operative but is not stored, so each time I close and reopen EDP the chages are lost. I tried creating a new plugin for it instead of modifying the ...

Re: Please update the following plugins (for next release)
That's exactly the exe file I used.
I made some mental confusion because of the name of the package (W64) and the directory name (mingw32), but I tried on WinXP 32 anyway.
I repeated the test now and I got the same result: "Impossible to find libiconv-2.dll".

Re: Please update the following plugins (for next release)
I didn't find any 32 bit version of odt2txt there. I only found "mingw-w64-i686-odt2txt-0.5-3-any.pkg.tar.zst". Running the contained odt2txt in WinXP 32 bit results in "odt2txt.exe - Impossible to find libiconv-2.dll". Maybe this can explain the reduced size. Off topic: since th...

Re: Comparing PDF files
To use Calibre as a plugin I had to resort to a batch file, but this is not a problem for me. :wink: The processing is a bit slow and the results are only a bit better than with pdftotxt, so I leave it as an extra tool just in case. With my dismay, both pdftotxt and Calibre insert a lot of empty lin...

<inline>
I just discovered the possibility of the "inline" plugin call (EDP is always a mine of options!) but... If <inline> is set in this field or if no extension is set, the plug-in is for inline use only. <inline> doesn't seem to work and no extension... Extension list cannot be empty. Then it ...

Wow! Thank you.psguru wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 1:21 pm I wonder if Calibre e-book Converter, mentioned at https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... king-lines, would work better.
Surely I'll give it a try and I'll let you know.
All my previous experiments failed miserably.

Re: Comparing PDF files
The standard plugins (and PDF to text is a standard plugin) are usually installed or updated when you install/update EDP, unless you explicitly forbid it. You should see something like this. (Please ignore some specialized plugins I added.) Clipboard01.jpg A problem arises if the line breaks of the ...

Re: Support for COBOL
Don't forget you at least have a possibility: you can define a regexp for detecting comments in your files. This has also the bonus of allowing to enable the "ignore comments" option. F.Y.I. I am an Ultraedit user and I made many .uew syntax definition files. They include the comments defi...

Re: F.Y.I.
A friend of mine gave me an old computer of the 2000. It's a Pentium II, strictly a 32 bit. I was thinking of using some lean Linux distro to run a browser and OpenOffice. Gosh! No 32 bit Linux distribution is still maintained, not to say about a modern browser. Using XP on it? It's a snail (256 MB ...
