Why don't the CVS examples look right in Notepad anymore..

2.0a0 actually does the carriage returns in notepad but in the latest CVS versions its all on 1 line with the carriage return charactes there (the boxes)...why is this? I'm using Win2k's notepad and WinXP

We got problems with the ZIP program not converting the line breaks as it should from Unix line breaks to Windows line breaks... Rainwater is working on it now. In the mean while, use a normal editor 😉

ahhhh, ok...I've been using Scite for the most part (and I normally do) but sometimes for quick edits I use notepad 😁

And it's better to use Tortoise to checkout from CVS. With the snapshot you should download the whole thing, with Tortoise you just download what you need, the updated files.

Look at the FAQ for more details about Tortoise.

If you use the snapshot ZIP file you can use a tool to convert LF to CR+LF style text files.

I use TFM Unix2Windows from http://www.tfm.ro.

It should be fixed now. Let me know if there are still problems.

I suggest replacing notepad with metapad, a great program with tiny size (like NSIS...)

Problem still persists in the latest snapshot ZIP file 🙁

Which file is not being converting correctly? They appear to be correct as far as I can tell.

Yes, there still seems to be a problem with some of the files, I will keep trying 🙁

don't kill yourself over it...its obviously not a super important thing...thanks for the effort from you and the whole NSIS team...I wouldnt' be here so much if it wasn't great!

Mainly NSI and NSH files ... Take a look at the Examples directory for waplugin.nsi, WinMessages.NSH or Modern UI\WelcomeFinish.nsi for some of these files.

Added a screenshot with such a file showing up in Notepad.

But it's not really urgent to fix it as you can easily convert it using other text editor and tools.
