AkelPad

Good software, but has one drawback (for me): I need to update the window content, when modified by an external application, silently, without asking, if I want to reload the document (a log file). Unfortunately, there is no option for this. It always asks me by a pop-up window, if I want to reload ....

I like it in the main, could get the spell check happening, though, familiar story there, I'm afraid. Woefully inadequate instruction + description of what the 4 different spell check plug ins do + how you'd go about getting them up + running. I then realized there was a 64 bit version which is how I ended up here on SourceForge, but apparently it's a secret of some kind, or perhaps you need to be a "member" of some group, I don't know? It's not immediately apparent like the other versions, if I didn't know it existed I certainly wouldn't find out about it here, there's more chance of me writing one for myself! I can't rate Support (below) as I have no experience of it, however, given what I know of the available instruction I imagine that inexperience won't apply for too much longer.
