Alright, i'm gonna coin another term here. Partially free software that is an Ad for a paid upgrade version of itself is Halfware. all in favor?

If the sole reason for this is to promote some "pro" version, it shouldn't be here imo.

"Portable Paul: Alright, i'm gonna coin another term here. Partially free software that is an Ad for a paid upgrade version of itself is Halfware. all in favor?"

Aye

Nothing much has changed since I last used this program. It's a shame that most of the really good features are in the Pro version. I'll stick with wSciTE for now.

I used NoteTab Light long before finding SciTE. One really nice feature in NoteTab Light that I haven't found in SciTE (or other text editors) is the regex search-and-replace. I love SciTE and have carried it on my USB drive for several years, but when I need to do a surgical search-and-replace, I always go back to NoteTab.
(However, if SciTE would fulfill this one teeny, tiny need; I would switch and never look back.)

NoteTab 5.x Light/Standard/Pro can all be "more portable", if the appropriate ini file is placed in the NoteTab directory along with the exe.
Edit the line UseProfileFolder=0. This tells NoteTab to store all files in the NoteTab directory, rather than the user Application Folder.
Using the /usb command line switch tells NoteTab to look on the USB drive if the drive letter stored in the ini file is not found.

Thanks to Note tab developer. Im feeling easy to edid the html texts.

A great editor. Version 6.1 was released recently.

Hi, just to inform you about NoteTab Light -

This does NOT write settings to the app folder as stated. On Vista HP the settings are written here:

C:/Users/Scott/AppData/Roaming/NoteTabLight

Three folders and four files have been written there. Is there a way to store these in the app folder?

Thanks

Sorry should've looked at previous comments feel free to delete my comments.

I think you should add How To Make It Portable in the description though.

I'm a professional writer, been using NoteTab Light for going on 10 years now (maybe longer). It is without a doubt my most used and favourite prog. It is fast, flexible, able to load as many open text files as you have memory in your PC for, and very adjustable. Each file is tabbed for easy navigation. The options for tailoring it to very precise individual needs are many. The drop-down menus can be tailored, as can the popup right-click menu. I write all my material in NoteTab, highlight, cut/copy drag and drop between open tabs (currently I have 187 open working files which are saved at close and reopened when I open the app), and when ready, click 'copy all' in the relevant file and paste into a new Word doc for formatting. I have NEVER had a problem with this app, in tens of thousands of files written. It has never frozen, crashed or trashed a file. It is rock-solid and absolutely free. The Light version is much faster than the Standard and Pro (which I have tried, but they didn't offer me anything that I can't do with the Light). I could go on ad nauseum, but the bottom line is that this is by far the best programme I have used in the 25 years I have been using computers, and I still have not explored some of things it can be used for. I have used a number of word processing apps, and for sheer simplicity and functionality (i.e. writing and editing words) it can't be beaten. Each to his own, I guess.

AkelPad is the best notepad replacement I found. Small, light, fast and powerfull.

Notetab light is always open. I use clips created with its easy to learn clipcode language and also regex capabilities to automate word processing tasks.

I use Metapad as my primary Notepad replacement, but when I need advanced features, I pull out NoteTab Light. The only thing I don't like about NoteTab Light is that sometimes it won't replace newlines ( ^P ) like it should. I can't figure out why. Other than that, it does everything I've ever needed it to do.

I have used the "free" version of Note Tab for over a decade, it is my favorite HTML and plaintext editor for Windoze. If you can't live without multiple undo steps and a spell checking dictionary, your options are to pay for the "full" version (cheap), or live without the best tool for several common jobs.

pardon, could not extract it neither using 7zip nor UniversalExtractor 1.6.1 ..

Try the "unofficial" (updated) version of Universal Extractor from Lupo PenSuite: http://www.lupopensuite.com/db/universalextractor.htm

I gave this program another shot recently and was annoyed by the frequent overlap in features that are available only to standard/pro users, which was confusing. The help file was similarly confusing here as well with an unclear barrier between versions. That said, there are some amazing features here, but the comments above calling this (effectively) crippleware haven't not gone away.

I edited this entry to make clear some of the limitations of the "light" version. It might border on editorializing, but think they're important to point out.
