EmEditor Professional

What's new in this version:

EmEditor Professional 25.0.0 (64-bit)
New General Features:
- EmEditor Professional no longer includes AI-related features by default. To keep using these features, you’ll need to download and install the ChatAI plug-in separately. After installing the plug-in, all AI-related commands will be conveniently grouped under a new AI menu. The ChatAI plug-in is only available on the 64-bit desktop version of EmEditor. Unfortunately, AI features aren’t supported on either the 32-bit or the Store version of EmEditor
- In Markdown Design View, HTML tags in the source text are now displayed as they appear. Additionally, character references and numeric character references are properly decoded and shown correctly
- You can now stack multiple custom bars, with buttons at the bottom allowing you to quickly switch between them
- The Very Dark option is now enabled by default. When Dark Mode is activated in Windows, EmEditor’s menus, toolbars, and other elements will automatically switch to dark mode
- The new version automatically removes older installers from the downloads folder during updates
- When you click the button next to the Search drop-down list on the Find toolbar, we’ve added new commands to this menu: Selected Text or Word at Cursor, Selected Text, Word at Cursor, Last Used Value, Fixed Value, and Auto Save. By default, using the Set Focus to Find Toolbar command (Ctrl+D) sets the search string to either the selected text or the word at the cursor position. If you prefer the previous setting, choose Last Used Value.
- Added a Synchronize with Find command to the menu that appears when you click the button next to the Replace drop-down list on the Find toolbar
- You can now easily register a macro file by simply dragging and dropping it onto a basic toolbar, as long as the file has a .jsee or .vbee extension. If the macro file isn’t already in My Macros, it will be added automatically
- Previous versions disable line wrapping when very long lines are present. This version removes the limitation

New Commands:
- Markdown to HTML [P]
- HTML to Markdown [P]

Plug-in New Features:
- Added the Create New Document command to the context menu in the Chat with AI custom bar (ChatAI plug-in)
- The gpt-4.5-preview model was added to the Preferred Model list box in the AI Options page of the Customize dialog box (ChatAI plug-in)
- A new HD checkbox has been added to the New Prompt dialog and the AI Prompt page in the Customize dialog when Image is selected for Output. If the HD checkbox is not selected, images will be generated at normal resolution (ChatAI plug-in).
- Added the EI_IS_CHATAI_INSTALLED command to EE_INFO message

EmEditor Professional 24.5.0 (64-bit)
- Many users depend on EmEditor for managing large files daily, so ensuring seamless opening, editing, and saving is essential. However, from versions v22.4.0 to v24.4.1, there was an issue where file sizes could increase when reopening large files (around 300MB or more) from certain hard drives, even though the first opening was fine. This was reported by a customer, and we appreciate his feedback and apologize for any inconvenience. This issue didn’t occur with fast hard drives like SSDs, but on slower drives with disk cache enabled, duplicate lines could appear. We fixed this in v24.4.2. In v24.5, we’ve added code to prevent such unknown issues by showing a message if there’s an internal file size inconsistency. Therefore, we strongly recommend all users update to v24.5.
- Additionally, v24.5 introduces a new Verify command in the File menu. By selecting this command right after opening a file, you can save the current document as a temporary file and compare its size and SHA256 hash value with the original file.
- The results are displayed in the File Verification Results dialog box, and you can copy the size and SHA256 hash value. Normally, the original and temporary files should match in size and hash value. However, discrepancies might occur if the original file contains NULL or invalid characters, or if there are hard drive or memory errors. For important files, please use the Verify command immediately after opening to ensure everything is correct.
- We’ve also added an option in the File page of the Customize dialog box for automatic verification every time a file is loaded.
- The new version (v24.5) also includes several other features, many of which were requested by users.
- When dealing with large files, it can be convenient to open only a smaller section and navigate to the previous or next section by clicking a button. This was suggested by a customer. In v24.5, we’ve added << and >> buttons to the Large File Controller, allowing you to move to the previous or next section within a specified size range.
- We’ve improved the AI-assisted writing feature by expanding the options available with the OpenAI API, which was initially introduced in version 24.1. Previously, suggested text would automatically appear in gray as you typed. Now, you have the option to display suggestions only when you press Ctrl+Space, which helps reduce the frequency of OpenAI API calls. If you prefer the automatic display of suggestions like before, they will only appear when the AI’s suggestion meets a certain confidence threshold, which you can now adjust. For instance, if you set the confidence to 40%, the AI will show suggestions only when it predicts the next text with at least 40% confidence. To minimize suggestions from less certain predictions, you can set a higher confidence, like 80%, ensuring that suggestions are shown only when predictions are more reliable, thus reducing the number of OpenAI API calls. Additionally, we’ve added options to adjust the length of the input text used for predictions and the output text for candidate suggestions. Using longer input text for predictions increases accuracy but also raises the OpenAI API usage fee. Similarly, longer output text results in more words being suggested.
- Moreover, based on a request from a customer, we’ve made it so that pasting in the Chat with AI window won’t immediately send the message
- Bugs found during the preview version development have been fixed
- Finally, while EmEditor requires an internet connection for product activation, some environments need a proxy for internet access. In this version, we’ve added a Proxy Settings link in the Register Product dialog, enabling you to configure proxy settings easily. The desktop installer now includes a PROXY option for command line installation.
