NsiEd

I have been playing with the idea of replacing MakeNsisW with a "real" editor.

Requires Win2000 or later. The name is not set in stone, I'm open for suggestions.

Known issues:

WONTFIX: "Best compression" mode
WONTFIX: "Choose compressor" command line / file type mode
WONTFIX: Syntax highlighting (Might support Scintilla later)
WONTFIX: MDI windows
Some commands don't work yet
Only partial High DPI support

Extract to your NSIS directory and play around a bit and let me know what you guys think...

Works fine :P

Would be great if you make it like Notepad++ and NSIS compiler in one app

(with multi tabs, syntax highlighting, lang support, etc...)

Is this based on makensisw source or you are writing it from scratch?

It already supports multiple tabs? (Drag & drop, multiple files in open dialog (on Vista+) and NsiEd.exe "yourfile.nsi" should work)

I'm writing it from scratch!

Very good!!!
Look forward to a fully functional version.

Cool, I take it that it's windows only? I attempted a basic cross-platform code editor a few years ago, I didn't get very far though.

Yes. It works fine! (Win10 Pro CA)
And that is very nice that you are working on such project.

Yes, Windows only. It is never going to be the best editor ever but it should allow us to demo more integration with the default programs feature in the installer.

I was considering using parts of the nsis tokens as a source of supported highlights, then having a custom highlighting layer between the text data storage and the renderer. The thinking behind it is that if commands are added, edited, or removed, these will also show up in the editor. Also, possibly sharing parts of the parsing code between the two. Well, that's what I had planned for my version anyway.

If someone wants to design 24x24 and/or 32x32 toolbar images that would be helpful...
