I've made an experimental version of PSPad for OS X - working @ Ml, should work at Lion and SL. It is Wine version wrapped as PSPad.app. :)
I'll appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
meme

PS: Only thing you need for it is X11 / XQuartz - Wine libraries are included, due this is the app 250 MB

Ooops! :eek:
I've forgot you to say how to switch language from Czech to English :D :
Step by step:
Nastavení --> Nastavení programu --> Jazyk ---> English :)
 
Looks great - you are a lifesaver.

I find PsPad the most user friendly FTP html editor ever ...and have just swapping to a mac and have been left finding for something similar (Tried Flow, Yummy and FileZilla at to no avail)
 
First impression: I LOVE :)

I looked for such a long time for PSPad for Mac.
You did my day!

And some questions:
- How can I implement the german language pack?
- Is the highlighting TYPOScript possible?
(under Windows I use SweeTS: http://typo3.familie-redlich.de)

Sorry
but I'm not firm with wine-apps.

THANX for your answers and your work!
Greetings
petra
 
1) If you mean spell checker, unzip attached file View attachment 369648 and insert it in ( I suppose that you have PSPad.app in Application folder): /Applications/PSPad.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/PSPad editor/Spell

and start PSPad :)

If you mean German GUI, send me an link to it, please. :) ( I've probably found it . http://pspad.lima-city.de/Deutsch.ini - right click -> save linked file in "Downloads" folder -> insert it in /Applications/PSPad.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/PSPad editor/Lang )

2) Sweet
WARNING, PSPad may stop working, please make backup ! :(

rename the directory "pspad" of the "sweets.zip" to PSPad editor and Copy it over /Applications/PSPad.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/PSPad editor/
Then:
start PSPad
Go to "Settings > Highlighter Settings" and click at the dialogue on the tab "Specification"
On the left highlighter list scroll down and select "<not assigned>"
At the list "User Highlighters" scroll down and select "TypoScript"
Use the browse button "..." to add the SweeTS TypoScript help file, it is located in "..../drive_c/Program Files/PSPad editor/help"; at the bottom you can add the "{ }" brackets for automatic indention
Now press "OK" and confirm the Highlighter settings
To use the TYPO3 skin fo PSPad go to "Settings > Program Settings..." and click "Program look"
At dropdown "Toolbar button icon set" just select "TYPO3"; confirm settings by pressing "OK"
Here is a screenshots with correct settings
Close PSPad and start it again – now you have a full featured TypoScript development enviroment :)

At leat it does not work on my Mac (Macbook Air late 2010) - OS ML.

I installed XQuartz as requested and double click on PSpad...no response, nothing happen.
 
Nice job meme1255, i love PSPAD always working with it and desesperate not to find similar on MAC.
Thanks to keep it up to date.
 
Question bout two major using scenerios

Nice to see this Mac version. However, for a typical Windows PSPad user for years, it is very useful for me to
1. From File Explorer, eight click the selected file to lunch PSPad for editing the selected file.
2. Drag the selected file to PSPad to open the file.

However ,from this Mac version, I found that
1. It's hard to select PSPad from Finder, and once select PSPad to open that file, the file cannot be opened in PSPad successfully.
2. And drag file into PSPad cannot open that file too.

Do I miss setup to use PSPad by above 2 methods successfully.
 
meme1215 thanks for sharing this!

I've encountered with an error while trying to set a shortcut, but after several error screens it seems to save the shortcut key temporally because when PSPad is restarted I have to set it again.

Can you use pspad's scripting capabilities? I have written a number of jscript scripts. Will they work on a mac?
Thanks
 
Hello, I just noticed that the PSpad 4.5.6 experimental (that i downloaded from here), the app no longer start after upgrading to MAC OS Sierra :( any chance we can see an update soon which would allow PSpad to work on 10.12.1 ?
Or is there some trick i can make this version work on latest MAC OS?

Error symptoms: upon double clicking the PSpad icon you see a popup window saiying Preparing "PSPad 4.5.6" it then goes away after a second and... nothing.


Thanks
