Re: TextPad v9.6.0 (64-bit): line selection & cannot find diagnostic file

I tried to attach the dump file created, but wasn't able to do so - wrong file type Not every type is allowed and, for size reasons, would be a wise choice. Compress it to a .ZIP archive (not .7z) - that should be attachable. For copying text off a (error) message dialog window just press Ctrl+C at ...

Re: Capitalize - Ctrl+Shift+U not working V8.20

a driver on your computer No, that's highly unlikely, if not impossible. I was once caught out by a shortcut that turned the screen upside down. That was Ctrl+Shift+Arrows decades ago to rotate the screen to each side, and it was some graphics card background process, not its driver. At least not a ...

Re: How to change the characters that words break/wrap on

No, still can't reproduce: I copied your text, inserted it, selected all the lines, did Ctrl+Shift+J (Edit > Reformat) and it didn't leave any quotation mark alone. Maybe it's really a bug being introduced with TextPad 9...?

Re: How to change the characters that words break/wrap on

No, that's TextPad 8.20.0 (minor version 20, while minor version 4 was released 4,5 years ago). You cannot read version numbers like fractions: .4 is lower than .20 - those are still integers. Every number in a version is a number on its own, never a fraction - trailing zeroes have a value.

Re: How to change the characters that words break/wrap on

Cannot reproduce in TextPad 8.4.0 with all kinds of quotation marks. In this case there would be enough space to leave the first quotation mark on the same line and break the line with the fourth word into the next line - but TextPad just doesn't: TextPad quotes wrap.png Please quote the exact text ...

Re: Ruler bar in the edit window?

That never existed and will never exist. The logical reason: TextPad is one big editor, not multiple pages (like f.e. Microsoft Word ). Likewise there's no point in showing a ruler to one endless page, nor would there be any exactness as to how the rendered ruler on a screen would fit to printing ...

Re: Remember checked search folders between WildEdit sessions ?

A shot in the blue: are you ending WildEdit before shutting down Windows, or do you just leave it running and Windows should take care of it? If the latter, try the former.

Re: REPLACE ALL: only ONE instance of the text is replaced

Cannot reproduce with TextPad 8.4.0 and all variations of "Match whole words", "Match case" and "Regular expression". Do note that line 3 has a trailing space after "the" - so do you actually want to search for "the" or really for "the "?

Re: Move cursor by typing letter in file explorer for open and save files.

When I navigate to my information folder and then account subfolder, it stops re-acting to these key presses Of course: the focus is important - if it's on the treeview (the folders) you quick-type-find there - if it's on the listview (folder content) it's for there - if it's elsewhere (focus on a ...

Re: Searching in text/unicode(?) files is way too slow for software development project.

FINDSTR is at least 25 years old and has its bugs and weird behavior . Most of all it won't support anything with a NUL byte, which means UTF-16, UTF-32 and others, while TextPad can handle them. The regex engine can't be trusted either. It may be faster, but much more unreliable - it's your choice ...

Re: Searching in text/unicode(?) files is way too slow for software development project.

That implies that disk access could be parallelized, too. Which is either physically not possible, or the OS's API is limiting it by needing file objects (including folders) to be enumerated. Judging by your previous posts you're quick with false assumptions. Which other program is able to search ...

Re: Very slow opening of txt files from explorer - Windows 11

And you surely don't have any additional "security" software installed which guards over programs/processes and maybe even gives windows of such programs a red frame? Such a software could also first "scan" a program to be started, resulting in such a long processing time (which you only experience ...
