Looking for beta testers

[Kasracer]

I don't have anyway to compensate anyone for beta testing, however; if I ever develop any commercial applications, I will give beta testers free software :D

Anyway, I stopped developing my program BinaryEdit (http://www.binaryidiot.com/binaryedit.php) a long time ago, but recently started it back up and I fixed quite a lot of issues with it and added more features. Right now it's still a syntax and text editor with not as many features as some others but I hope to add many more soon.

In the next version I will be adding syntax highlighting (I am already developing the framework for it and will add a syntax highlighting profiler to create your own profiles for different languages).

Is anyone interested in at least trying it out?

If anyone does try it out, please leave feedback in my forums (http://www.binaryidiot.com/forum/) or in this thread (don't want to make it look like I'm just advertising or anything).

The current version is .20. Here is the changelog (http://www.binaryidiot.com/down/changelog.txt) for BinaryEdit as well.

If anyone was interested in why I need beta testers for a text editor, it is because I am aiming for BinaryEdit to become quite a large program with syntax highlighting, advanced editing features for RTF documents, and much more I cannot discuss at this time :D.

I want to make sure the base of the program runs flawlessly before I add more major components. That way I won't need to do any major re-writes if bugs are found.

Also, if anyone likes to use the command line, BinaryEdit takes several arguements. It can take any number of files you throw at it via an arguement (so it'll open them up), and it also accepts the following arugements:

-preferences //This opens the preferences dialog so you can edit your preferences without launching BinaryEdit
-updates //Checks if your version of BinaryEdit is up to date or not
-update //If your version is not up to date, BinaryEdit will download the latest version in a zip file into the same directory as the application
-reinstall //This skips any update checks and forces BinaryEdit to download a new copy of itself into the Application's directory (again, in a zip file)
-reset //This resets all preferences. Useful if a problem is found within the preferences
-highlighter //This currently doesn't do anything. In the next version with syntax highlighting, this will open up the syntax highlighting profile edit. I will most likely change this arguement
