TexMakerX is a fork of the LaTeX IDE TexMaker and gives you an environment where you can easily create and manage LaTeX documents.

It provides modern writing support, like interactive spell checking, code folding and syntax highlighting. Also it serves as a starting point from where you can easily run all necessary LaTeX tools. (you can see more features below)

You can run it on Windows, Unix/Linux, BSD and MacOSX systems and modify it if you want, since it is licensed under the GPL.

Althought TexMakerX has a lot of additional features, it tries to be like an improved version of Texmaker, so it keeps it look&feel as well as its version number.

(look also at the usermanual)

TexMakerX 1.9.9 -> TexMakerX 1.9.9a

--------------------------------------

- some performance issues on mac have been adressed. It should feel faster for long sible lines on mac.

- more than one overlay can be shown at the same time e.g. for syntax highlighting and spell checking

- command replacement in completed commands was added

- a cut buffer was added. If selected text is replaced with a command via completion, the removed text is used as argument for the inserted command (if applicable)

- tool tip in completer shows the surrounding of the label to which the selected reference is pointing

- profiles containg predefined short cuts, menu redefinition, editor settings can be imported from a file

- when waiting with text cursor on an environment name, a mirror cursor is generated which allows the renaming of the environment (\begin and \end simultaneously)

- delete word, a command or an environment by typing ALT-del

- spell checking is only done in known text commands

- some dialogs adapted to cope better with small screen sizes

- lots of bugs removed after user feedback

It’s an application that uses rsync to perform backups. It’s meant to be end-user friendly and unobtrusive. It’s also multi-platform and internationalized.

It has English, Portuguese and Czech translations and I’l be glad to accept more translations.

Changelog:

v0.9 - Added possibility to stop running backup, changed configuration ui, added advanced options (rsync path, command options, etc)

v0.9.1 - Added Czech translation - Thanks to Pavel Fric

v0.9.2 - Better process handling - Better code so it works on OS/2 now

I would like to inform you that a new version of my synchronisation and backup program EasySync (Ver 1.1) is as of today available on Hobbes in the directory /pub/incoming", but will probably be moved to the directory /pub/os2/util/disk in the next few days.

With the latest version of EasySync (1.1) its even easier to synchronise directories thanks to the built in support for NetDrive. Together with NetDrive you can now synchronise with an FTP site, or synchronise/backup your files with a SAMBA server or a NTFS disk. EasySync lets you see at a glance what files need to be updated between two directories whether they reside on the same machine or even on separate PC’s on the network. This simple but powerful graphical interface allows you show files which should be updated, files that have been deleted, files that are missing, files that are newer and older, were deleted etc., plus the proposed transfer direction. Transfer can be set to bi-directional to fully synchronize two directories or uni-directional to limit which directory(ies) is/are updated as may often be the case when backing up files. A choice to display files/directories which have been selected to be ignored during the synchronisation process is a standard option

Failsafe:

Whenever a file is about to be overwritten or deleted it is first stored on disk for later retrieval should it be necessary. The location of these files is called the Vault. The vault contains any number of versions of the same file every time that file is deleted or overwritten. The number of versions stored is only limited by the available disk space or by a number that you as a user have specified. All transactions are logged so that you can always verify what actions have taken place.

Features:

Warpin Installation
Multi core/processor support.
Memory footprint is < 2Mb
Multilingual (English, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish)
