I'd love to see the "Insert" command extended to insert:

* a GUID at the cursor location (the style of it should be configurable somewhere in the options - a bit like what GenerateGUID offers)

Perfect solution? Nope but you could do a search and replace for ><, or whatever the input string looks like, and replace with >\n< to at least get it broken out into one tag per line. Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing now, but if you have a 200+ line document with hundreds of nodes and up to ...

Folks, I find myself having to insert newly generated GUID's into text files in TextPad a lot.

Thanks, but I hate to break your bubble - not *EVERYONE* uses CVS, or gets to choose whether or not they use CVS......

Oh, I would have to disagree - there's still plenty of things Helios could add to TextPad. I guess the bigger problem is deciding what to add (and what adds really ...

It'd be about time to have that feature!!

I keep having to resort to unwieldy and crappy Hex editors just for that?? Gimme a break!

Folks, I'd be more than happy to get TextPad 5.0 to integrate seemlessly with various common source control systems, such as MS Visual SourceSafe and SourceGear's Vault. I was hoping to get a "Open from Source Control" command / menu item, which would display the source control contents (as a ...
