Nebopad 1.1
Tab-based and Finger friendly Text Editor for Microsoft Windows Mobile
NeboPad is a simple, but flexible text editor for Microsoft Windows Mobile platform. It started out as a desire to have a Notepad like program for the Pocket PC. But why stop there! NeboPad is a tab-based text editor that allows you to have multiple documents open at the same time.

Please note, NeboPad requires the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 or higher.

In addition, NeboPad is Finger friendly. As the following image shows, you can access the key features of NeboPad with nice big buttons, perfect for those pudgy thumbs!

New features Added with Version 1.1

Version 1.1 is a response to all the user feedback and we believe NeboPad is ready for prime time use. Thanks for the all the feedback and keep the suggestions coming. Here is are recap of the 1.1 update:

New Features

  • Word Wrap (Per document setting and a global setting)
  • Font Selection: Now you can choose the font used in NeboPad
  • open file from explorer (See below for some details)
  • Option to startup in full screen mode by default

Improvements

  • It should be more obvious now which items in the navigator are available and which are not.
  • Now displays |NewFile| for new files, as opposed to an empty tab
  • Tweaked for Palm Treo 850 (resolution 240x240 and 320x320 support)

Bug fixes

  • NP doesn't crash now when a file is opened from File Explorer
  • Problem in file browser fixed in how it displayed sub directories
  • Rotate caused crashed if device does not support rotations
Note regarding opening files from explorer: You can now open a text file from the OS if you have associated a file type with NeboPad. However, NeboPad is written in .NET and NeboPad will only launch and load a file if NeboPad is not open. So if NeboPad is open and you try to load a file from the OS, NeboPad doesn't do anything. I am working on fixing this, however this is a .NET Limitation.
