Pardon

You said "see here", and put in a link which take me to this same topic. I assume that was NOT what you intended?

Upgrade routine doesn't

The more I use TextPad 5, the more things I found it has broken. For instance, I no longer have a TextPad menu option on my Windows Explorer right-click menu. It took me quite a while to get TextPad 4 working the way I wanted it - lots of key mappings, File Associations, etc. I don't even have an ...

Yes, I do love TextPad

Why on earth would I want to uninstall my working TextPad in order to upgrade it to the new version? I wanted to keep my settings (which the install routine failed to do properly). And I have been using TextPad as my main editor for years - it is the best one I have ever seen. But the upgrade ...

It is the content

What a good idea.

I just did that - it is the content of the file that stops the search.

It would be better if TextPad told you when it encountered the problem, instead of just silently stopping the search!

Find in Files stops looking when it gets to a certain file

I have a large directory tree containing about a million lines of source code, plus compiled files. I often search this tree to find all occurrences of (say) a certain variable. I have discovered that TextPad's Find in Files search won't search the whole tree - there is a binary file (called ...
