Thanks. So far it has not happened again. Meanwhile I also switched back to 'Use the standard file open dialog box'.

The directories involved so far did not contain large numbers of files. Up to 100 perhaps.

Toggling the 'Workspace follows active file' OFF and ON again seems to have "fixed" the issue. Before posting here, I was indeed able to replicate the described behaviour, consistently, with different files, workspaces, folders and drive. I even tried reboot, just in case. After that I resigned to ...

Textpad hangs, and after a moment crashes, on File Open, whenever the active document is not in the same folder as the TWS. I have set my prefs to 'Working folder follows active document'.

Textpad 8 issued a warning when I attempted to close a workspace with unsaved files, just as about every editor of anything does. Now in vs 9.4.0 there is no such warning. Textpad simply closes and I loose any unsaved changes. I cannot find a setting that enables / disables such warning. Any ...

But the only list I could see there was the file MRU, which I do not want in the first place. There was no history list of string items used in Find ...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly, Textpad crashes on me each time I try to access 'Manage history lists ...'. I contacted support@textpad.com about this yesterday. I am waiting for their reply. I was unaware though that 'Manage history lists' is about remembered search strings. I am a Textpad new ...

This applies to items Find, Find in Files and Replace under the Search menu. I am using Textpad vs 9.3.1 on Win11. In Textpad 8 I could delete old search strings from the dropdown (the search string itself, the file filter and the folder scope) after right-clicking on an item. I cannot see that very ...
