equal sign in syntex-switch is lost

I'm calling context through a bat-file (which sets some environment
variables). The context command in this bat file is:

context.exe  %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

I now wanted to force all executables to create an unzipped
synctex-file as sumatra seems not to be able to handle .gz-files. 

But it didn't work for context. And the console output shows that
the reason is that the equal sign is missing in the command line
call:

G:\Z-Test>context.exe  --synctex -1 "test-utf8.tex"

What can I do to get it back?

I can naturally use 

context.exe  %1=%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

as command line. But I do find this a bit fishy as it would break if
I disable synctex.

WinEdt 8 folding comments

Hi All,

I just started to experiment the great new folding feature provided by WinEdt 8.

Since I often have large portions of commented text in my files, I would be interested to fold such commented
out portions. I have not been able to implement it so far and would therefore appreciate any hint.

I would like to fold starting 

- either from a line whose first non space or tab character is a "%", 
- or from the line after a "%" when the "%" is preceded by other non space or tab characters (except indeed "\%"),

and fold until the line which precedes 

- the first line whose first non space or tab character is NOT "%"

Example: I would like to fold from line 2 to 5 in the example below:

1. this is regular text % and this is comment
2. % comment continuation
3.
4. % more comment
5.
6.   Again regular text

Thanks for your help.
Gilbert

feature in winedt: label search

Dear Winedt developers,

I always used winedt to write papers and books since I installed it. One 
thing I always noticed is that the search window that shows up when 
using, for instance, \ref does not allow a search using any word, as far 
as I could judge. This is not important for articles or reports because 
they are in general not so big. But for a book with dozens of sections 
and subsections and hundreds of equations this is not very convenient. I 
believe that it is a minor improvement that is not so difficult to 
implement. Can you put it in your todo list (or tell me whether I 
misused the search window)?

Best regards,
J. Seixas

Problem with string variables / perhaps a bug

I managed to let this macro fail:

Assign("Local", "test");
Prompt('Local=%$("Local")');

Everytime I did run it (in a .edt file on its own) the second line
is marked red and I got a warning dialog 

   Error parsing a string parameter   ...
   Prompt('Local=%$("Local")'^^^);

After some tests I found out that this line in my real edt is the
source of the problem:

IfFileExists("%!3",|Open("%!3")|,"Prompt('%$(|kpsefilename|)');");

For a reason that I don't understand a ; is needed inside the Prompt
command and so if the file doesn't exist and the false-clause is
chosen I get an error message about this missing ";".

And from then on *every* "Prompt" with a string variable lead to the
error parsing warning until I closed and reopened winedt.

Problem with Smartquote2

Hello,

I have the following problem with Smartquote2 under Winedt:

For years I used WinEdt and  Smartquote(2) from R.Schlicht in it.
Everytime it
works, but one of the last Winedt updates make a change: Smartquote2
works, but
only with the >> and << (ASCII-Characters), not with the direct input of
» and «, what is possible to adjust in smartquote2.edt. Now there only
comes � � . I can insert the right signs with the chracter map, what
means that the font I'm using contains the characters - but I wonder why
it do not work like the last years ...

Could anyone help?

Matthias
