I was advised to try this setting:

Uncheck "overwrite original files directly, when saving changes" on Configure/Preferences/File.

And this seems to solve the issue! I'll update this thread again if anything changes.

Which version of Windows are you using?
I'm using Windows 10 but this has been happening since TextPad 4 so it was the same with previous Windows versions.

Ok thanks for checking.

Please try setting the option "When files are modified by another process" to Ignore, on Configure/Preferences/File.

This is a very annoying problem for me because it is the only situation where I'm forced to use another editor.

If it is tricky to autodetect network resources then they could add an option "Use compatible file access" to avoid any optimized file operations. Any ...

The problem is very easy to reproduce. You just need a Mac to test with. I have tried with 4 different Mac with various OS versions and it happens with all of them.

Hi,

I'm using latest TextPad 8.11.0 64-bit version.

My problem can be reproduced as follows:
1. Activate File sharing in system settings on a Mac.
2. Open a text file in TextPad that is shared from the Mac. A typical file path will then be something like "\\192.168.0.14\Documents\somefile.txt ...
