After a looooong time away from textpad, after switching from M$ world to linux (yuippeee), I start a test with wine one several computers a while a go, and I must say there has been some (!) good increase in wines compatibility. Textpad runs more or less flawless under wine except for a few hickups ...

Yes, I think it ads value.. (realy!)

It adds the value that the poll is active again, which is not the case for the other thread where it was disabled. This poll is set to be non terminating.

Also it adds the value to keep focus. (realy!)

I know... I am anoying, asking for the same linux port again and again, but then again, I like turtles... This time I request it because I found the following snipped section in Helios own introduction to Textpad.. "When just getting the job done is work enough, the last thing you need is to waste ...

..Just keeping alive the linux port enhancement request!

Anyone had experience running TextPad under wine (linux)??? I have never found a better and more convenient text editor than Textpad, ever! Neither for Linux, Mac, or Windows. It is therefor a shame that we are not able to see this wonderfull program running on Linux/Unix platform. I know I am not ...

Then they should switch market as more and more developers switch platform

Sorry, but I have tried both Kate and KWrite and they are hoax at best in my opinion compared to textpad. Dont like em at all. At the moment though code blocks is my favourite together with SciTE, but I still find Textpad more usefull. To run Textpad under wine you do have some requirements on your ...

well, I beleive Heliose has lost the grip now and is no longer maintaining Textpad in the same way as before. But, who am I to know. Fact is that in despite my above hail for Textpad I must let her go and let her live her own life. I feel sorry that she would not follow me into the free world but ...

Which is just as effective as a political resolution ... Wine has been tested with textpad long ago but performance penalties are way above what is aceptable for me. Wont buy new highspec computer to have it work acceptable... However, I have switched to code::blocks both for windows and linux ...

Hi Count me in for a vote for Linux version. I have tried and used all the already mentioned editors for Linux, except Nedit which I will give a try, but there realy is no better alternative than Textpad which has succeded in balancing features vs user friendlines in such a great way as Helios team ...

Ok.. I know that the topic is an old one, but would like to comment it anyway because i feel it is somewath important to get a clear answer from the great Helios team... What the topic author was asking for was if Textpad in the FUTURE will be available for linux, Not if the spec to day says it does ...

Hi First . There should be possible to specify the topmost directory (i.e. which directory you would like to see default as "root") in the explorer pane. This is especially usefull for sw developing where one often have all source file in on directory or its sub folders This setting should also be ...

I get the following error message

"An error occoured when downloading the file /WindowsInstaller KB893803-x86.exe"

I did not manage to solve it but I was able to install version 4.7.3

Currently I am evaluating Eclipse, an high feature free texteditor and more, written in Java, available both for windows and linux, and in a dual boot I beleive it even should be possible to share config space on a shared disk area when using dual boot (not verified). www.eclipse.org However. Even ...

There should be added a function similar to the "code explorer window " in PSpad to Textpad. This is a function which makes a resume of defines, includes, variables, functions, prototypes and so on inside active document. Very usefull, and you can switch to the definition of a function or define by ...
