...and just on the slim chance anyone else ever happens upon this thread and tries to repeat...

I just wanted to reassure myself that this did indeed work / I could repeat the steps.

Well I recreated the runas_test.bat file on my desktop (forgetting the users folder issue).

Then I remembered the ...

Ha!

I know you said it's not critical, but I got it to work - and from a TP tool.

I noticed that it, runas, was using a user attached to my machine: <machine_name>\<username>.

Looking at the usage more closely: "<UserName> should be in form USER@DOMAIN".

So I added my work domain name to my user ...

I got that wrong.

"runas" is itself an executable, so your tool needs to run "runas" from the system directory, passing the username and 'real' executable as per usage below. I'm trying on my work machine, I think some security setup is preventing me using it, but I certainly get to the point where ...

Wouldn't you just use the native Windows parameters, is it:

/runas:Administrator

or something like that? after the path/to/exe? You just include this as a parameter within the Tool configuration parameters, if I've got that right...

Thanks AmigoJack, but I'm afraid the problem does not occur on my personal laptop, so I can't use handle to try find the root cause outside of my work machine.

And we don't have Process Explorer at work, only Process Viewer which does not provide a filter/search option.

I had a weird cmd.exe ...

Hi,

When TextPad runs an external DOS command, it creates a tiny TPxxxxxx.bat batch script, and runs that.

I use TextPad frequently on my home laptop, for which I have admin rights, and on my work laptop, where I do not have admin rights (admin rights may or may not be relevant).

Work TP version ...

Even if you could go right into Compare Files, you would still have to click the OK button to start the compare, so you couldn't script it and have zero user input after starting it.

Checkout Autohotkey to simulate user input (to any Windows app).

I found a fiddly workaround:

I managed to get tp to 'break' the synchronisation, same behaviour regardless of 'Synchronize Scrolling' setting!

If you use ctrl-G to Goto a line number, only that pane moves to the requested line number. (+ add on half the number of lines in your display, so that the line you want comes to the ...

Hi ak47wong,

I'm not sure I consider this a bug as such, but I know the feeling when you think you can get something from history to find you didn't have the clipboard history cliplib open.

I have recently setup TextPad so that the cliphistlib opens when opening TP - and I also have TP in Win ...

This is happening to me too, too often. Mainly, I think , when I try and replace a standard shortcut with my own.

I thought it might be something to do with not having admin rights on my PC at my new place of work, so I used the 'Portable media wizard' to save my settings onto a USB, but it has ...

Do you do anything 'fancy' or do you just use it in a fairly basic mode?

As I mentioned in the other thread, I have imported over registry settings, macros and the like. I guess it something of the 'fancier' nature that causes the problem. Btw, the Wine website also notes the problem, though that ...

Hmm, well, yes, you can get it up and running, but see my comments in this thread -

That's really a q for Helios directly (the support page).

However, I would hazard a guess - Yes.

But anyway - why don't you try and see? Take a note of your registration key (it's very big, I have mine saved in a text file - if you don't know it, you can request it again from Helios). Un-install ...

There is no CD, you just pay your money and get a license key to apply to your evaluation version - no re-install - so everything you've set up stays the same.

There are other posts in these forums asking for more powerful syntax highlighting capabilities so if Helios are listening(reading) and you ...
