Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

I just created a file tp.bat and associated it with .txt and that is working at the moment. Kind of ugly but should get me through for now.

Code: Select all

start /b textpad.exe %1
kind of works. At least I can double click on things and they open in TP 9.

Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

I think it does have something to do with DDE. My guess is that because I didn't uninstall Textpad 7 before installing TextPad 9 I somehow whacked DDE. There was something about a DDL that disables use of DDE. Is there a way to turn it off in TP 9?

Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

I don't know. I switched the .txt file association back to notepad and it comes up instantly. But even so if I do an open with textpad on a text file that is through a link it hangs. I use links to text documents all the time so I'm pretty frustrated. Admittedly, TP9 is only $27, so I can't complain.

Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

It is inconsistent, but right now if I double-click on a .txt document on my Windows 10 laptop it is slow. But if I right-click on the same file and choose Open with TextPad it is fast. Maybe it has something to do with file extension associations. Does the same whether the file is in OneDrive or no...

Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

Windows 10. I'm just opening .txt files. Worked well yesterday. Now is slow again today. Maybe it is connecting over the internet to some site that Textpad's company owns and it is slow or fast? Not sure. I've been using Textpad 7 on the same laptop for a long time with no issues.

Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

Oddly enough it does the same thing with Textpad 7. If I double click on an associated file or a file that is a link it is slow. But if I open a file with textpad it is fast. Also fast command line. Also, if one file is open the second one is fast. Nice. I double click on files through links all day...

Re: Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

I'm having hanging issues with 9.4.1 also. It seems to have the same problem with or without onedrive. What is the best way to revert back to textpad 7?
