Thank you for that tip on the <tab> key in the Search & Replace dialog. That worked.

And yes, when nothing is selected in the document, both inputs are selected. I must had something selected when I tried to replicate this problem.

I've noticed 2 minor problems in TP 9.2.0: When using the open file dialog box I used to be able to select files and press the <del> key on the keyboard to delete them. This doesn't work anymore. What does work is the "Delete" option in the local menu when I right-click the mouse. It seems...

I cannot replicate this problem in TP 9.2.0. When I go to "Search" in the menu, and select menu item "Replace...", I get something like this: _ replace.png What does it look like for you? I do have to get used to tabbing twice to get from "Find what:" to "Replace w...

This is indeed a new problem in version 9.1.

I don't find the dockable window a pratical solution. With the non docked results you have more room to show the results.

The reason we would want to close the dialog box, and keep the results open, is that the dialog box covers up some of the results.

This problem was resolved in version 9.1.

Thank you Helios Software Solutions.

I'm using TextPad 9.0.1 on Windows 11. When I go to the "File" menu, select "Open....", and select multiple files, TextPad will only open up to 10 files . It then also opens one empty file with half a file name. This empty file is actually created on the hard disk. Can anyone els...

Thanks for solving this problem in TP 8.3.0.

OK, the problem is back. I have now noticed that this problem only occurs when I select "Full path names on document selector and tabs" in "View" of the "Preferences".

This seems like such an easy problem to solve. 8)

I just had a BSoD (blue screen of death), after which Textpad seems to have lost all its settings. It now looks like this: https://kikosoft.com/textpad2.png In other words: Completely different from what it was. However, now the problem I reported above is gone. So clearly it was somehow related to ...

This seems to be a bug? When I press the SAVE button the file extensions get trimmed to the first character only. I'm using TextPad 8.2.0 (64bit) in Windows 10. It looks like this (all files are .php): https://kikosoft.com/textpad.png My suspicion is that the " *", which indicates that a f...

Yes, the video works now.

Your video link doesn't work? However, I can confirm that with 8.1.2 (64bit) I also don't see the page number in the status bar when opening 'Print Preview'. What does work is using '&p' as a footer in the 'Page Setup...'. That will show the page number in the print preview. It will, of course, ...

This is a long standing issue with TextPad. It happens because textpad tries to determine what the character encoding is when it opens a file. Whenever in doubt it uses ANSI, which is the default. Adding a BOM to your UTF-8 files might help, but that might not be practical. For instance, PHP doesn't...

Yes, adding a weird unicode character at the beginning of PHP files makes sense, and it is much easier to do than adding BOM's. I'll try that.

Because Textpad still guesses the encoding when there is no indicator. That could very well be the cause it changes back to ANSI. I'll try out the BOM. I never used a BOM because in PHP you're not allowed to output anything before the headers, and the BOM does that. It used to be a well-known probl...
