Re: Document properties are not saved

It is my understanding that document properties overrule document class properties.. Yes, but...

Where are individual document properties saved ? Nowhere - they're only temporary, since neither text files could carry such information, nor TextPad does store individual file's properties.

Re: Recent files >16

Since the window menu is already fully customizable (you can reposition any item or make your own top menu items) a potentially long list can go to either a sub menu within the "File" menu item, or one could create a new top menu item (f.e. "Recent") which only exists to list all recently opened ...

Have you done so via mouse or via Ctrl+A or via window menu? (In full sequence: Ctrl+A for selecting all text, then Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins to copy the selection.)

Re: Font "Terminal" in TextPad 7

You can also perfectly run TextPad 8 on Windows 7.

(I write this because I've encountered people before which think that versions of different softwares must match, such as PHP 8 with MySQL 8.)

Re: A common dialog box returned error 0x0002

Sysinternals/Russinovich's Autoruns lists you "everything" that is started automatically, and you can filter out Windows' own components. Go through the list and investigate on everything where you question yourself why it exists.

However, NirSoft's ShellMenuView (context menu items of Explorer ...

Re: textpad 9 v Textpad 8

That's not the only addition. I've filtered the release notes to all enhancements of v9 updates and underlined those which cannot be found in v8 updates (cannot verify, still use 8.4.2):

Re: Start-up option

That's now the 3rd time you post that request and I've already replied that it doesn't make sense to first click with the mouse to then hit the keys to type in the characters to search for when you can focus that edit control directly by pressing Ctrl+I.

Wouldn't it help more to use a font where you see the dot more clearly? A monospaced font should already help, since the dot as character would eat a lot of space, making it visually more clear where it may be missing. Or better: a modified font with an extra big dot.

Did you close TextPad before to ensure everything will be saved? Or did you assume Windows would handle that for you?

Re: Keyboard shortcuts open the wrong workspace in TextPad

From a technical aspect: should a menu have the same accelerator key ("1") for more than one item (same applies when no accelerator keys are defined but multiple item captions start with the same letter) then pressing that key should only highlight the menu item, not "click" it. As in: pressing "1 ...

Re: python tool not working interactively

It works in a non-interactive mode. You cannot even set up a tool in interactive mode. It doesn't matter if you "just" execute python.exe with parameters (speak: parsing a script) or without - in sum it is always python.exe which outputs to STDOUT (or STDERR) or wants to wait for input on STDIN ...

Have you read Compiling Java Works, Executing Java Doesn't ?

I don't think such a thing ever existed in TextPad - you basically just add your own Tools as Program to be executed:

Re: Replace smaller size text only in HTML file

That's because “</small> cannot be found in line 97. If after the ending quotation there may be more text you have to account for that with a third optional group:

Re: Replace smaller size text only in HTML file

No, please provide an actual example. From your first example I concluded the HTML elements always look the same. And without further explanation I assume you want to replace everything. Now you want to replace only chosen characters (with what by the way?). Post a simple, an advanced and a ...
