Note that if you just want a list of the files in a workspace, you can do that with the "Edit/Copy Other/All File Names" command, and paste them into a new document.

If you save the list in a file, say "myfiles.txt", you can open them all at once with the "Quick File Open" command (Ctrl+Shift+O) by ...

I've checked back and found that this bug was introduced in versions 9.4.1 and 8.18.1 in February 2024. It's funny how often old bugs are found within a week of issuing new releases!

Thanks for reporting it. It will be fixed in the next release.

This is fixed in the downloads now available. No other changes have been made.

We are pleased to announce the release of TextPad 9.9.6 and 8.23.6.

Please see the release notes for details of the changes and the downloads page for links to the installation files.

Windows uses the "&" (ampersand) character to underline characters on menus which can be used as shortcuts. You can see it in action when you press the Alt key. For example, the "M" in "Macros" will then be underlined on the top level menu. That means that you can then press the "M" key to popup the ...

I can't reproduce this. Does it make any difference if the regular expression box is checked? Does it occur when searching for any other single character?

If TextPad creates a dump file when it crashes, please send a copy to the email address it gives you at the time.

Which version of TextPad do you have? Does this only happen when searching in one particular file?

Thanks for letting us know the cause. This behavior is controlled by Windows User Account Control security, which restricts interaction between different privilege levels. A standard File Explorer (low privilege) cannot send data to an application running as administrator (high privilege). This ...

If your code formatter reads from stdin and writes to stdin, you could configure it as a Text Filter. It would then update the open document, so this issue would not arise. You'd just have to remember to select all before running it (or run it from a macro which does that ...

I can reproduce this so it will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for reporting it.
