Is there a U3 version of Textpad planned?

If you're not familiar with U3, visit this link.

Add me in too. All the best code editors have it.
I also use Notepad++ and NetBeans IDE. They have it and they're FREE!
TexPad is lagging behind yet again.

Amendment to last post.

I've got the horizontal scroll bar, but it didn't appear until I'd closed and re-opened TextPad (?)

OK. How do I scroll the list horizontally - all I can see is the folder names unless I lose nearly half the width of the editor window. I would also like to be able to collapse specific folders? Surely anyway you look at it, a treeview is better than a list for multiple files in a hierarchy. Could t...

Sure, I know about workspaces, and for many uses they're OK. But it isn't really suitable for complex projects. Take this example... You have files for a software project organized thus... Foo (folder) | -- do_something.php | -- classes (folder) | -- interface.data_access.php | -- app (folder) | | |...

I use TextPad now primarily for creating web applications using PHP. Up to now they have been fairly simple apps and I can cope with TextPads limitations. :? What I do need though is to be able to open a "project". This will typically be a folder containing all the application files for a ...

I've already had a message from Helios to say try their new beta. So I'll give that a try and see what happens.

Much obliged for all the help everyone.

I've just loaded another large (26 Mb) 7-bit ASCII file into TextPad, manipulated it by setting word wrap, inserting several newlines and tabs. The file loaded and saved OK, and it decoded OK. Well, it proves that my encoded 7-bit ASCII stream is whitespace tolerant. So, so far TextPad handles 26 Mb...

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

I've put the ASCII file onto my web site, if you want to download it to try it out.

The url is:
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~iccarte ... footac.zip

When you've downloaded it, unzip it, and just open it with TextPad and save again as a different name. The saved file will be about 9 Mb.

There are no null characters, unless TextPad is inserting it/them. If there were, my decoder would abort at that point. As I said in a previous post, Word does the job that TextPad doesn't seem to be able to handle.

The 7-bit ASCII file is encoded from a binary file - a TIF file in actual fact.

Consequently it only compresses down to 25 Mb with RAR compression.

I appreciate you are trying to help, but you all seem to be missing the point. WHY is the file being truncated????? Whether I add spaces or remove them, or TextPad removes them, how does the addition of 3 or 4 whitespaces cause the file to be truncated from 42Mb to 9Mb???? It has to do with the size...

How is this helpful? I'm trying to ADD whitespace, not REMOVE it.

I have a large text file 40.8 MB (42,811,392 bytes) which is a 7-bit ASCII file created by a software utility I'm developing. To test part of its capability, I am embedding whitespaces (newlines and tabs) into it within TextPad (4.7.2). However, when I save the file, it is truncated to about 9 Mb. T...
