Download installer.
Semagic 1.2RC3, limited unicode support, for Windows 95/98/ME.
Download installer.
Source code could always be taken here.
Read here about unicode support in both versions.
New:
- LJ Cut toolbar button now has a menu.
- Uninstaller prompts to keep settings
- If you check friends for updates by mask it's now included in friends page url (when you double-click flashing icon)
- Installer does not overwrite preview template now
Fixed: a lot, including "Decoding error".
But if the problem is that it is launching the Word spellchecker but it's doing the 'pop under' thing, you can always hit 'Alt-Tab' to switch to the spellchecker's dialog box. The program is probably waiting for you to tell it to fix a misspelled word and therefore appears to hang up.
Hope that helps.
it won't let me connect to it. :-/
The Resize Bug.
I can not do anything that involves resizing the client's window, without the dropdown menus dying - that is, refusing to open any more.
I have to kill the client, and restart it to get control over my moods and user icons again.
I'm using Windows 2000, Service Pack 3.
error opening file for writting:

i've done everything on the options, and nothing worked. can you help me out?
e.g. try this - use only the journal entry text box plus the help bar (F1) and the post options bar (F5). put the help bar on the right, and the options bar on the top left. the options bar will use the full window width.
what do i have to do to make the help bar using the full window height instead (so that the post options bar is left relative to the help bar, with the text box below the options bar) ?
i checked the source but didnt found any restrictions on placing the control bars.
would it be possible to have a "login" place, from the "just edit" mode? at the moment, it seems like you need to "logout" from that mode, and then log back in again normally, it seems a bit strange, since you're not logged in anyway.
you rock the momma's house down, wesley willis style with diet pepsi, uh-huh.
i think it'd be nice if you added a menu for the lj user button as well, with all the different options available for that (and it woudlnt get used as often, i imagine, but i suppose one for lj comm could be nice too)
also, if the 'wrap with lj cut' had a way to put in the cut text, that'd be great too
I'd like to request two changes for the next RC -
1. In standard Windows apps, pressing Control-Backspace deletes the whole word immediately prior to the cursor, and it's enormously useful for writing when I change my mind about where I'm going with a sentence. Unfortunately in Semagic and LJ, Ctrl-Backspace doesn't delete and in fact adds a character instead - very frustrating! Little thing I know but worth fixing for useability and consistency.
2. Rich Editing - I already speak HTML and I write compound tags for multiple HTML attributes so Semagic's tag buttons aren't so useful for me. In the web world Microsoft IE has a rich text editor which is very useful eg. for the web-based CMS I use. I wonder if this is a Java object exposed so that you could borrow it for Semagic...?
Just my $0.02 - thanks,

Re: Control-Backspace & Rich Edit
Not a Java object, but an ActiveX Control. It can indeed be embedded in other applications, just like Outlook Express does. I believe Sema is planning to do this eventually.
"Switch To" brings up the start menu with no clue as to what "the other program" might be. The "Cancel" option is unselectable, and even alt-F4 won't shut it down. What can I do to stop this happening?
Me and my hairsplitting comments :-D
