The file being edited is saved at intervals in a directory under the AppData\Local for the local user account.

Please add this directory to the list in [Preferences / Folders] so that it can be changed to a directory that is part of a backup area.

The [View -> Search Results] and [View -> Tool Output] menu options are toggles.
Please display a tick mark like the others in the menu.

Thanks. I will adjust the toolbar accordingly.
Does Save All include the configuration?

The save configuration command does not update the TWS file (v9.5.0)

See #13929 — Bug (v9.4) Save configuration command not complete

You did indeed, for which I thank you. I also have a (rather less concise) PHP script that I used to study the TWS format and which can also output the file list. I am just thinking that it would be nicer if the TWS file was editable. If I rename a project that is referenced in one or more TWS files ...

I run with the document selector pinned at the side of the TextPad window.
Right clicking on a file listed there pops a context menu 9 options.
Clicking on most do as they say, except "Browse folder" – which crashes TextPad every time.

Sometimes, I do close TextPad. Generally this results in the toolbars being "re-organised". Generally, a couple get swapped. Normally one or both are custom toolbars. The "airgap" is normally lost as well. See also # 13952 . Logged as two bugs — while seemly related, they may have different causes.

I live with TextPad maximized on the screen nearly all of the time. I have a number of custom toolbars which I arrange across the width of the window. The Visual Studio 2008 skin seems to offer the best toolbar colours, but even that does not provide enough contrast against the background. To help ...

Please consider converting the workspace control files to an open format.
Either change the format to XML, publish the file spec or provide a utility to list the embedded information.
An XML format would allow us to edit the file list when a directory is renamed.

I think it safe to assume that the developers will have understood the point of the request.

Allow the currently open file to be re-opened in binary mode.

Extend to allow an extra view of the file in binary mode, so the text mode can be edited with the binary view in another tab being updated to match.

If a single character is selected, add a function to display the hex value of the character. Add that function to the context menu when right-clicking the selection. This would help to discover which "funny" character has been added to a UTF-8 encoded text file. Extend to display a pop-up hex view ...

My notes claim I was using TextPad back in 1997 and maybe before then. Frustrating when an old, reliable tool misbehaves for no apparent reason, isn't it. I blame Windows 11, myself. I dread having to "upgrade" from Windows 10. Also, putting all sorts of "magic" in the registry was one of the worst ...
