Re: Textpad v5.1

First of all, where is the download for Version 5.1? It's not on the download page! Also, this excerpt is from from the release notes: The Tile commands on the Window menu now apply to the selected documents on the Document Selector (if any), corresponding to the behaviour of TextPad 4 Does this me...

I agree with this. The jumping tabs is a real nuisance. Effectively, you can't reorder tabs if they take up more than one row.

I came across this forum post which explains how one user installed Textpad to a USB drive. However, his method involves editing the Windows registry, which is not something a lot of users would want to try. I cast my vote for a portable Textpad. One really shouldn't even think of changing the regi...

This is a really bad idea. Not the idea of installing a decent text editor to run off the flash drive. But the idea of changing the registry of every computer you visit. There's no reason to do this on your own computer. So it only has value when you're on the road and using the computer in a local ...

Re: At least you can tile!

At least you can tile files ... Window, context and button menu options remain greyed out in my installation of 5.0.3 whatever is selected ... This is such a basic functional requirement that I'll be forced to retrograde to 4.7.3 ... 5.0.x is useless without. Well, probably you can tile too. It tur...

The ability to tile windows is still there in TextPad 5, but it is disabled when the Document tabs are turned on. I appreciate finding your reply. It does indeed work if I turn off the document tabs. So now the people in my household will be happy that the naughty words have been turned off. Howeve...
