Notepad++ : Missing Convert to UNIX

In the new version(5.7) of NotePad++, the convert to UNIX format function is missing in its usual menu link which is

Encoding --> Convert to UNIX

For those doing shell scripting and related things, this is very important. The convertion of CRLF to LF is a pain and NotePad++ is a saviour(ok, other text editors can do that, too). So fret not, fretful folks, they just moved. It is now in the menu link below.

Edit --> EOL Conversion --> UNIX (or Windows or MAC)
Here’s the screenshots in case it isn’t clear yet.

As to why it was moved there is beyond me in terms of usability. But it’s a free software so we can just sigh.

Free ScreenCapture Software

In my previous job, I use SnagIt v8.x in creating screenshots and I would say that it’s a great tool. It’s very efficient, non-obstructive and relatively lightweight screen capture tool. I find it an indispensable tool especially when doing documentations or user manuals and also in creating screenshots for blogs. However, SnagIt is not free. So below are some of the screen capture I use in place of SnagIt.
