Bluefish text editor's bug that caused the program to crash on Win7 has been fixed. This is great news as it is now BearWare's top pick for programmers text editors usurping NotePad++ which is still a great text editor. Rating the two programs is almost too close to call as both have minor cons but Bluefish comes out on top with the very nice keyboard shortcuts coupled with some really nice selection or insertion features.
You can install Bluefish to a USB device and copy the folder to another directory then uninstall with Comodo Program Manager which removes all installed files and the 400+ registry entries and the program works fine. I did not have to move the files in the bin directory to the root directory of Bluefish as it worked fine as is. I suppose you could install the program and copy the directory files to another location which should work also to get a portable version, but I did not try that. Some association rules if you use those during install do not work if you remove the registry entries, but I didn't want those at any rate.
Thanks to the Bluefish developers for fixing the crash issue...at least in my case anyway.

To clarify, what I mean is you could probably install the program to default location (Program Files Directory)...and then copy the installed folders to another location for a portable version, then uninstall what was installed by Bluefish. I highly recommend uninstalling with Comodo Program Manager (have it installed before you install Bluefish so it can monitor the installation) as it cleaned all the files and registry entries.

I don't think they have put up the new version yet...I received a link from them to try...actually they've sent me a few, but the last one did the trick. I'm sure that one will be put up soon.

2.2.1 is the release I had issues with. They will release 2.2.2 very soon. From what I can glean from the bug fix discussions, they have already made some changes in the 2.2.1, I'll try it tomorrow and see if so.
BTW...don't hurt yourself typing Bluefish text editor in a search window. I know your rather tender :)
I'm just glad they could fix my issues. It's a great program.

Scratch that now. I remounted my backup image and I'm up again.
