I uninstalled TextPad 6 from my Windows 7 desktop before getting a new computer with Windows 8. I installed TextPad 6 and try to paste the license code into the "Register TextPad" form, but it keeps saying "These license details are not correct. Please check your input, or contact sales@textpad.com ...

I'm confused by an issue with using the "Tools" feature in TextPad 6 with respect the following example VBScript code. I am working on a Windows 7 (SP1) 64-bit computer.

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wscript.echo objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%programfiles%")
wscript.echo ...

Can anyone recommend a good syntax definition file for working with HTA (HTML script) files?

The license data is stored in the Registry under HKCU for whomever registers it, so you'd have to push the registry import using a "per-user unattended" deployment.

If you run the following code on a Windows 7 64-bit computer using the latest version of TextPad, it displays incorrect results for expanded environment variables through VBscript (cscript.exe). If you run the same code outside of TextPad it displays correctly.

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript ...

This may not be a bug, but it seems odd to me: Using 5.4, if a file resides on a remote location which becomes unavailable, if I even click on the document tab, TextPad becomes unresponsive for a full minute before I can close the tab. I've repeated this on XP SP3, Windows 7 32-bit, and Windows 7 64 ...

Does anyone have a link or tip or something to help configure a Tool in TextPad for running .kix files with Kix32.exe? I've tried using the default wizard settings like I do with Cscript.exe, but it doesn't seem to capture the output in the Tool Output window. I checked the option to capture ouput.

Ok, I've tested this on five separate Windows 7 clients on different hardware. The same thing happens on all of them. It would appear that the file-open dialog API has changed behavior regarding apps. I'm just making a guess obviously.

I know this is a bit early, but with the current public beta of Windows 7, TextPad 5 seems to no longer respect the setting "Working folder follows active document". It just returns to the folder of the first-opened file in the editor each time you open another file. I've tested this on two separate ...

I'm using the php-js-css-html.syn for my PHP doc class. I removed .PHP from the HTML class prior. The PHP class is configured to set 5 unique foreground colors to each of the Keyword groups. Yet only 1-3 are colored. 4 and 5 are left black. Is this a known issue? I have tried this on several ...

Nevermind. After repeated tries, I think this is actually being caused by a different application. Sorry to bother everyone.

On my XP/SP2 desktop, I'm getting a constant error when I exit TP after working in it for a few hours. The error is a message box asking if I want to launch the Visual Studio Debugger. Is this known? Can someone point me to some information on what I can do to stop this?

Still fails to import my v4 syntax and snippet files. It displays an error when I save files that refer to syntax files which are still named in the preferences menu. I had to go cut/paste them from the old path location to the new and then everything works fine.

I'd still prefer to have the search ...

I know this has already been posted in various threads, but I felt it ought to be posted as its own topic.

Helios: Please, at least consider supporting a public beta program for any future upgrades? Even KixTart conducts lengthy public beta trials, and their stuff is free. Microsoft, Adobe, Apple ...

After waiting in the dark for almost 3 years, this is a bit shameful. I really like TP but I don't know what to think of this. I would have rather seen a "public beta" available to work out these issues before it was posted as a final release. I've tried the upgrade on three computers to see if the ...
