TextPad 8.1.0 running on Win7x64 in 1920x1080 with a DPI setting of 100%. As said before: I don't know the people's problem - the font is tiny, but still perfectly readible (just like the rest, except for the text on tabs, as I mentioned before in 7.6.2 & 8.0.2: unwanted anti-aliased text on tab...

Re: Unicode?

I tried to find similar questions (along with answers) which may help you in understanding what you asked: Are there advantages or disadvantages to editing files in Unicode as opposed to ASCII? Are there advantages or disadvantages to using a 64bit operating system as opposed to 32bit? [1] if a file...

I updated my version of the program recently, changing to the 64-bit version So you have a 64bit Windows, and had a 32bit TextPad, which was (correctly) located in \Program Files (x86)\ ? This might sound unthrilling to you, but updating 32bit to 64bit is not possible in a technical sense, because:...

No, it precisely does it to those you selected:

If you select one or none then (of course) all windows get tiled.

7.6.3 Find > Conditions > Regular expression unticks

The checkbox is randomly unticked. "Randomly" because I yet have not grasped a pattern on how to reproduce this. It happens when working with the very same TextPad window/instance - it's not a problem of closing TextPad and then starting a new instance. Opening new documents in there might...

I wonder what makes you think no other other variant fails. I don't understand: we're talking about running a program thru TextPad , not the command line itself. Hence I consider all your other 3 variants of inappropriate, as they do not relate to the goal. The command in there is C:\Windows\System...

I thought "this implies I can disable tabs - but where" and then tried menu "View" > "Document Tabs". Wow, never recognized this. Thanks alot. Much better now.

It's poor heuristics that concludes José is more likely than José. You seem to never have written code for an encoding sniffer, especially for european texts - it's far from being easy. The Win32 API fails at this as well. (@ bbadmin : if you're actually using IMultiLanguage2::DetectInput...

It just confirms what I already found out:

Curious: why was MDI dropped years ago?

TextPad 4 still supported MDI and its huge advantage was that I was able to freely position all windows inside TextPad. With TextPad 5 this was dropped, and I always wondered which reasons for this apply: supporting MDI causes too much work it was because of introducing appearance/skins/themes other...

At that point, heuristics are used to determine the codepage of the file. When opening a file (CTRL+O) I have a combobox to select an encoding [1] - why not having it also for the "Run" command, and the "Find In Files" command, which most supposely has the same dilemma? It can n...
