The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

SavageEd2 is a new project that expands on the features of the famous SavageEd.

SavageEd2 is a very small and fast Windows notepad replacement written in x86 assembly language (HLA).

It can edit files of any size, limited only by memory.

It can encrypt text files using AES encryptionwith 256 bit key (max 32 character password) in .enc format.

It has advanced Pattern searching features.

Unlike the famous SavageEd it has no option to write to the registry and is portable by default.

SavageEd2 V0.02.00 is a BETA though it has been available since 11/27/2010

Links are dead for this now.

It seems that savageEd is still developed, possibly by a different developer (the original developer is Sevag Krikorian, who is also the author of HIDE, an IDE for programming in HLA, see https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programmi ... HIDE.shtml .

SavageEd has a page on github: https://github.com/Androthi/SavageEd with the source code only.
In the right pane, click https://sites.google.com/view/androth/h ... l-assembly to download a compiled version for Windows (version: 0.5.4), this will take you to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZNGVtv ... u_-I8/view

Virustotal analysis: 6/67 ( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/61c ... /detection )

Possibly, this version is a fork of the original SavageEd, and that would explain the different versioning system.

Given the difficulty to locate some applications, and this is the case with SavageEd, could TPFC host local copies of these "difficult-to-find apps", that are worth archiving?

I tried to save on https://web.archive.org/ the two pages:
https://sites.google.com/view/androth/h ... l-assembly
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZNGVtv ... u_-I8/view
. . . Apparently everything went well, and the challenge is now to retrieve the pages from the archive.org!

- Changed behavior in where SavageEd looks for SavageEd.ini file.
It will look in current folder first, if found, SavageEd will use that .ini profile.
If there is no .ini file in the SavageEd folder, it will look
for one in "%USERPROFILE%\config\SavageEd.ini"
If that file exists, SavageEd will use that file as the profile.
If neither exists, SavageEd will create one in the current folder as normal.
- SavageEd.md documentation is no longer required as an additional file,
the documentation is now embedded in the .exe

Wish every program would do it this way. Except the documentation bit, I sometimes prefer it as a separate file.
