I was using Notepad++ or EditPlus but for last 6 months am using only Piew - I find this one really good.

I'm facing one issue on this editor - when I start to write a .cls file syntax highlighting is fine but the moment I close the Piew editor and re-open all the syntax highlighting is gone and after that even if I make changes to the code it doesn't show any syntax highlighting. I am using version 4.80. Is that the issue and will it work fine on a higher version or is it a bug to be fixed?

Syntax highlighter is automatically selected on file extension. Maybe you have some unusual extension? You can still select syntax from the menu View \ Highlighter.
Send me all details, screenshots to mail (use Piew About menu) i look on your issue.

I can't run the procedure file because there is an error : File not found.
I have to check the setting command line, how to fix it?

It's because you don't edit default Piew settings.
You need edit these paths and correct them to your real PROGRESS environment. For Run and Check you need valid PROGRESS installation! Some example are inside run.p and syntax.p in Piew dir. You must also understand how to run PROGRESS files, some basic knowledge is needed. It's just simple command-line, so if you get working outside then you get working also in Piew.

What i can see from screenshot is that you run it direct from zip archive (it's extracted by RAR to TEMP directory). You need extract it to some stable directory and edit Piew Settings based on your current environment.

4.95 - [01.01.2017] - Happy New Year!
+ Simplified calling PROGRESS from Piew (less parameters to get working)
+ Disabling Run/Check icons when running PROGRESS
+ New PROGRESS Run/Check helper (now is just single file: run.p for both actions, syntax.p is droped. If you use your own run.p please update it)
* New setting for PROGRESS executable path and one for extra parameters. (Run/Check settings are droped) If you use Run/Check functionality you need set this options again in settings. Also project files has the same change, you need correct these settings. To see old setings you can use old Piew version. Piew now automatically append "-param" argument with own values when running PROGRESS.
+ Added new menu commands for calling PROGRESS applications: Data Dictionary, Procedure Editor, AppBuilder, Data Administration, Application Compiler
! Fixed opening new instances of Piew by Run/Check action with option "Allow only 1 copy of Piew at a time" = Off

PS: if you use custom *.ini, *.pf to Run/Check from Piew, edit run.p in Piew directory and comment line with propath setting. Detailed description is inside run.p.

Not sure if this is to do something with configuration - when I do a Ctrl + F and search for a word in a .p file that is opened in Piew it highlights the first occurrence and takes me to the place but the dialog box gets closed. If I had to search the next occurrence I got to press Ctrl + F again. If I have to search all the occurrences (say 50 times the word is in that file) of a particular word in a file should I press Ctrl + F 50 times and hit enter. In Eclipse, OE Studio, Notepad++, EditPlus etc all I had to do is to press Ctrl + F once, then put in the word and start hitting 'Enter' it takes me to all 50 occurrences without closing the dialog box.

Is it a feature that you are yet to implement in Piew or is it already there and am I missing something here? Please advise.

It's working like this:
- Find (Ctrl + F) - search dialog, just for first search
- Find Next (F3) - this is your 50 times
- Find Previous (Shift + F3)

It's simple, just look to Piew menu where you have shortcuts. Even PROGRESS editor works like this (Ctrl+F, Next - F9, Prev - Shift+F9, Dialog is closing on find)

You can try also this, just place cursor to some string and you can search without search dialog (fast searching):
- Find next word under cursor (Ctrl + F3)
- Find previous word under cursor (Ctrl + Shift + F3)


Maybe some setting: "Don't close find dialog after find", but i think F3 is common windows application shortcut for Find next.

Went to download latest version and keep getting unexpected end of archive. Winrar and 7 zip
It's because your download fail. Exact file size is: 1 176 086 bytes. Try download it again (beware of cached downloads, browser can "download" each time old damaged file) Also checked/downloaded the server package and it's OK. If you have problems i can send you latest version (just send me mail)

5.10 - [24.03.2017]
+ Added converter for Visual Studio color schemes - Studio Styles - Visual Studio color schemes. Check in Piew directory for \Themes\Converter.exe. You can browse online for ~4000 schemes, or you can create some by yourself and use it in Piew

* Updated selection and annotations colors in included schemes (reset or import scheme for better look)
* Registry settings moved back from Piew3 to Piew (previous registry key is deleted if exist)
+ If you need find Piew path you can read it from registry, value "Path": HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Piew\Settings this value is saved after using menu Settings in Piew
* Fixed missing highlighting on some HTML elements (ASP Start Tag)
* Selection is now rendered with alpha transparency instead of solid color
