I'd really like to be able to edit my macros, maybe if they were stored as XML it would be fairly intuitive on how to do edits on them. Use case: I am processing large (20000 lines) documents. I have to run regex macros across them to correct regular ocr errors (dealing with very old fonts and low ...

My mistake. I see this all works if 'document tabs' are not turned on under the view menu.

Regards,
Bryce Stenberg.

Woops :oops: - just found that I didn't get the tabbed documents turned off - was under view. (what I initially changed just moved them to bottom of screen and I didn't notice). So, yay! :D The minimize/maximise buttons are back. The tiling in a grid for multiple files is there. And cascading works ...

I just turned off my document tabs to check (you do mean the settings under configuration - view - tabbed document selector?). It makes no difference - there is still no way to restore the windows to normal from the tiled view. The usual 'maximise/minimise' buttons are NOT there. While talking about ...

Hi, Can we please have the document maximise/minimise functionality returned to how it was in TP 4.7.3. A thread discussing this is in the general forum titled "TP 5.2: No 'maximise' document window after tiling?" (first posted Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:22 am). Tiling functionality is severely impacted ...

I thought I'd found a work-around. I configured my keyboard to have keyboard shortcut for WindowToogleZoom. I then used shortcut and got my document window back to full size (as though I'd clicked the document maximise button in 4.7.3). However, when I change to the next document my view flips back ...

Hi, Just upgraded to 5.2, as 5.1 didn't allow me to tile my documents. I now have tiling but no easy way to un-tile them. In version 4 each document had it's little windows looking thingy with the maximise/minimise type buttons beside the close 'X'. How do I get those back? Or some other way to ...

Hi, While on topic of regular expression searching I would like to see added ability to search across multiple lines. Maybe a setting of 'Within X lines'. For instance, we have lots of select cursor statements in our code, and trying to find 'column' instances on one line matched against a 'from ...

Hi, I would like to suggest Vertical scroll bars be added to 'window splits' for when you have 'side by side' frames. I have a dual monitor setup - with textpad opened across both monitors I can do a vertical split - one part of file in left monitor, another part in right monitor. However, they are ...

(don't you hate it when you post and then see a mistake in your message..)

This piece should have said:

With TOP and BOTTOM frames - only one horizontal scroll bar was not an issue as code normally fitted the window and I was able to go to seperate pieces of code for viewing/editing very easily.

I see what you mean. I was hoping it was not intended. It is definitely a functional oversight for frames that are side by side. With side by side frames - only one horizontal scroll bar was not an issue as code normally fitted the window and I was able to go to seperate pieces of code for viewing ...

Hi, I've used textpad for some years now. I've often made use of the 'Window Split' function to do a horizontal split (one frame on top of the other) to view different parts of the same file in seperate frames. Each frame had it's own scroll bar for moving within the file. I now have two monitors so ...

Hi, Does anyone know how to allow a line length greater than 63 characters in a syntax (.syn) file? We have a custom syntax file to list all function names for highlighting. Today I added some recently created functions to this file that have name lengths around 70 characters (highly descriptive ...

Hi, If your running XP (or later) there is a built in command 'reg.exe'. To export key try command like: reg export HKCU\SOFTWARE\Helios\TextPad4 MySaveFile.reg To add it to registry: reg import MySaveFile.reg Your company may not have blocked access to the 'reg' command, and hopefully you have ...

Thanks Stephen - I was thinking that was probably the case after having already read the command line reference for parameters, guess I was hoping there was an undocumented feature maybe kicking around. Can I suggest it somewhere as an enhancement request? Thanks for your suggestion Bob, but that ...
