TextPad's System folder is meant to be read-only, as it is overwritten by each update. You should save your custom syntax definitions in the folder defined for them under Configuration » Preferences » Folders, and then they will be backed up.


Good to know. lol, these have been collecting there ...

Replying to myself to answer this here.

Contrary to the release notes for 9.8:
Added commands to the Configure menu to backup and restore the license key, settings, macros and clip libraries.

Backup/Restore cannot restore a license key. I had to install my license first, then the Backup ...

How do I enable the "Restore" option? Backup/Restore is enabled on one machine. I did the Backup there.

On a new machine, I installed 9.8 & was hoping I could just Restore settings. But the Restore option is disabled.

How is this feature supposed to work?
