I've used the previous Relaunch a few years and it worked fine. This new version looks totally reworked - it is slimmer and although it has less menus and options it still has enough features to do the job.
It was very quick to setup for Kickassembler/Winvice2.4 and ran my old code right away.
I know this is beta but there were some bugs:
Compile shortcut F6 don't work (gotta click on menu) and I can't get the Find function to work at all.
If I start typing a new assembler file I can't save it. I gotta make a blank .asm file first, load it and then I can save changes.
For future updates I could like some way to clear the "Compiler Output Window" :-)
I really like Relaunch64 and it's easy to use (even for a guy with a slow mind like mine) ;-)

Tried it for the first time. Seems to miss some basic options like font and tab size. Proportional fonts are just wrong for asm code. |

could someone explain what makes this editor more useful than say, a proper setup ultraedit (or emacs/vi if you must) ? |

Is that even a fair question? Your favorite $59.95 editor with tons of features against a tiny and free c64-only editor in early beta? ;-) |

its not about fairness really. and if you dont like comparing with a commercial editor, let me know what it can do better than say "kate" or "textmate" or "notepad+" or any other of the tons of very decent free texteditors out there. i just dont see the point at all.

I think it's a matter of taste. All these editors seem to feature 6502-coloring and running assembler+emulator directly from editor. Different in Relaunch is the output-window on the side I think - which is nice for people like me who forget a ":" behind labels all the time ;-)
The silly thing is that Relaunch still misses showing linenumbers. So not much good reporting which lines in sourcecode that have errors :-)
Now if I only can get my Notepad++ to run kickass.jar with the current .asm file as input then maybe I will turn to coding with my favorite text editor... |

no idea what you mean.... but if you mean that the editor shows the output of commandline tools - most other decent editors can do that too. including being able to click on the output and jump to the respective file and line in the source ofcourse :) |

it's ugly but will help you to get going:
locate appdata/notepad++/shortcuts.xml. add into userdefined commands this line (make sure notepad++ is not running while editing!):
<Command name="Run in Vice" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="no" Key="114">c:\64start.bat "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</Command>
this will launch c:\64start.bat if you press alt+f3 / or in the menu,with the edited file's name ,path included. this is the trick:"$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
this is what I have in 64start.bat:
c:\64tass.exe %1 -o c:\splash.prg
pause
c:\pucrunch c:\splash.prg c:\splashp.prg -m6 -fs -p2 -x0x1000
c:\WinVice\x64 c:\splashp.prg
yeah, the compiled filename is fixed, but you could pass the filename without extension to the batch aswell, look around in the manual. setting up workdir for the batch can also give some nice headaches :) and yes it could be done much better but I am teh lazy :) |

Thanks for help, Oswald :-)
Windows would not let me edit the shortcuts.xml (Vista restricts much under \Program Files). But I still got the change done inside Notepad++.
In the menu Run->Run I typed in:
F:\c64start.bat "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
then clicked Save, made a title "Winvice" and chose a shortcut key to start up the command.
This will give a new line at bottom of Run-menu showing "Winvice" and the shortcut key chosen.
Alt-F3 for some reason is taken by Opera on my machine and opens a Wikipedia-page about whatever text you have marked even if Opera was closed when hitting alt-f3. I have tried some other keys but not found a free one yet so I just start up by choosing the command in Run-menu or press F5 and Enter which runs last command you made.
My C64start.bat ended up like this:
java -jar f:\c64code\kickass.jar %1 -o f:\c64code\notepad.prg
pause
f:\c64code\winvice-2.4-x86\x64 f:\c64code\notepad.prg
Also I found a 6502 syntax highlighting for Notepad++ on Codebase64: http://codebase64.org/doku.php?id=base:crossdev
Use the menu Language->Define your own language
and import the xml and it links itself to *.a and *.asm files.
@groepaz: you can test relaunch yourself really quick, no install required just run a jar-file. I don't think I am that great at explaining editors...
