son,
Aside from the price, can you provide more information on why you "think notepad++ is better"? Have you used HippoEdit, and if so, for how long compared to Notepad++. I'm definitely a fan of Notepad++, and I have used HippoEdit for several years, as a secondary editor to my main editor, plus several other editors, but I would like to hear from others that may have an important bit of information that I have not yet discovered. Thanking you in advance.

On my Win 7 Pro 64-bit machine, I first extracted the zip to a folder and checked the three-file folder with Avast and Malwarebytes and all was OK.

But when I tried to run setup.exe, Windows blocked me with this error message - which I've never seen before:

SO - WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Also, is only the 32-bit version offered, not the 64-bit version?

Not sure I see a purpose for this software. What does it do that Notepad++ (which is free) doesn't? As for a programmer's editor, why would anyone want to use something other than VS Code, which is free, cross-platform, open source, and is currently considered the best programming IDE on the planet?

Will this support Python?

Reply | Comment by nag2 – 5 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+1)

nag2, Looks like Python is not supported.

nag2, It appears that Python does in fact have some support Try this link for more info on Syntax highlighting bundles

I want to use the 64 bit program. Instructions the first time through set up said that a second license is required for 64-bit operation/ I clicked on buy a license to buy the unrestricted license and was taken back to the original install page.

I can not get to the purchase page again so that I can get a full 64-bit license. Please help.

How is this different from version 1.60.44, which was the last version offered here? Thanks.

Glad to see a new version of HippoEDIT. I had the previous giveaway version 1.61.55. Curiously the release notes on the website list 1.60 and do not seem to be updated for the 1.61 branch or 1.61.56 specifically. What ARE the new features and bug fixes for this version?

Reply | Comment by Aaron – 5 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+6)

Hmmm... Receiving several installation errors, even when set as administrator. I could only install it by leaving the Avast Free shields completely turned off during the entire installation. THEN, when launching the software I got an immediate notice that unless I turned off their tracking feature, some of my activities would be shared with the developer. Of course I turned off that "feature." I wonder if that is why I needed to turn off all of the antivirus shields during the full installation. That is not typical of other GOTD applications that share the same "Themida wrapper usage" warning. Typically, I only need to leave the shields off for the few moments when the Themedia wrapper is validated. I always turn on the shields again BEFORE installing the new software after the Installation application is successfully initiated on my screen, which is usually signaled by a License agreement of some sort. Hope this feedback is helpful to the developer, GOTD, and our user community. Thanks for the opportunity to explore this editor; looks like a useful tool!

Hi AnAceBuyer,

Thanks for the feedback. The connection to the HippoEDIT server for getting add-on lists or tracking which syntaxes or plugins are used are only done for providing better support and understanding editor usage for selecting the right priorities during development. Everything is optional and can be switched off.

Here is the description of what is collected and for which purpose:
