UltraEdit for Mac/Linux v3.2
UltraEdit v3.2 for Mac and Linux is now available! This release delivers some very powerful and very big new features and functionality, starting with the XML manager, which gives you a high-level outline view of your active XML file's structure. Also new to this release is the bookmark viewer which provides an easy access and management bookmarks in a file. Read on below for a more in-depth look at these and more!
New: XML manager
Tired of fighting your way through poorly formatted XML code? The XML manager can help. This new window provides a high-level outline of the active XML file's structure...but it doesn't stop there. With the XML manager you can reorganize elements and nodes, cut/copy/paste, double-click a node to jump to it, edit an attribute or its value, or move nodes up and down.
Do you have an XML file with a single-line feed? No problem... Hold Shift then double-click on a node in the XML manager to select that node in the active document. Or, better yet, if you want to simply reformat the document, you can do so in a single right click!
New: bookmark viewer
See all bookmarked lines in one place - for all files or just the active file - with the bookmark viewer. This window provides a list with configurable columns for bookmarks, and displays bookmark line number, column, name, text, and more. The context menu in the bookmark viewer allows you edit and delete bookmarks or delete bookmarked lines. (To enable the bookmark viewer, go to View -> Views/Lists and select "Bookmark Viewer".
New: Encode and decode selected text in Base64
This simple and useful feature allows you to select a string of text (or a whole file) and then encode it in Base64 via the "Encode Base64" item in the Edit menu. Decoding it Base64-encoded text is just as easy; select it and then click "Decode Base64"!
New: Comment / uncomment selection
Using UltraEdit is all about making coding easier. Need to comment out a section of code, or bring back a section that you had previously commented? It's easy with the new comment / uncomment selection feature. Map these two new commands to a hotkey for even quicker access.

You can toggle the split "Places" pane with the folder icon at the top-right of the file view.
New: Automatic paragraph reformatting
Have you been left with messy text with erratic hard wraps and inconsistent indentation? Let UltraEdit clean it up for you with the new paragraph formatting options!
