Re: Unable to open TextPad program in new window

Thanks so much again @bbadmin. Running "textpad9-multi-inst.reg" resulted in the right behavior for the functionality I need. You're exactly right about the update as I recently upgraded to v9.3.0 (64-bit Edition)

Re: Unable to open TextPad program in new window

Hi,
The issue was resolved on 6/22 and no problem from 6/22-8/6.
This morning 8/7 the issue cropped up again.
Tried "textpad-openmulti.reg" again but failed.
Could a recent Windows push cause this functionality to break?

Re: Unable to open TextPad program in new window

@bbadmin thank you so much - that fixed the problem

In your textpad-regfiles.zip file, I ran textpad-openmulti.reg which updated the Windows Registry fixing my issue:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\TextPad.exe\shell\open\ddeexec]

Re: Unable to open TextPad program in new window

Don't get too caught up in the "json_auto_file" please. I merely used that as an example. My text files (*.txt) are what I've been opening up in multiple windows over the past ~15 years of using TextPad in all previous releases. My issue only happened when I upgraded to TextPad v9.2.3 rece...

Re: Unable to open TextPad program in new window

@AmigoJack thank you for the quick reply. I did try that but no luck. Never had this issues when using TextPad the past 14 years.

Any other suggestions please?
