I've opened multi GB files in TP as well. It's all a resource issue. I mean if you have 4 TB of RAM and 10 PB of disk space, you won't even blink when you open a 4 GB file. Have you tried editing said opened file (i.e. making a small change on most lines of the file) and then saving it?

I've ...

The 32-bit file size limitation (4GB) does not apply to the 64-bit edition.
However, it still needs to allocate the entire size in virtual memory.
That needs to be clearly stated in the TextPad specs page otherwise someone looking for a text editor that handles very large file will read that ...

From the TextPad specifications page:
It can handle file sizes up to the largest contiguous chunk of 32-bit virtual memory
That makes sense for the 32 bit version of TextPad, but it doesn't make sense for the 64 bit version, for which 4GB seems like an arbitrary limit.
Unless someone can point out ...

Is it possible to make the file info (that's displayed in the status bar on the left side after opening a file) stay visible on the status bar? In TP 7.0.9 I find that it disappears as soon as you click around in the file

Every time I use REs for search/replace in TextPad, I have to switch my brain from the commonly found RE syntax to the rather long-winded one in TP.

Please can we have an option for "regular" RE syntax i.e. \d \s etc

Please?

I have observed this happens when using it in Portable mode. I installed it from setup.exe so I don't think it's installed in portable mode.

I managed to resolve the issue by installing into c:\Program Files\Textpad 6\
I'd previously installed into c:\Program Files\Textpad 5\ but I renamed the dir ...

The "Put shortcuts to Textpad on" the Preferences | General dialog are grayed-out and I can't think why.

Any ideas anyone?

My replacement expression is 1860 chars long whereas the max number of characters TP 5.2 allows in a replacement expression seems to be around 1016 chars long - is this setting configurable anywhere? Or am I stuck?

TIA

We're pleased to announce the release of TextPad 5.2.

That's great news, where can I download it from? The link provided only allows me to download TextPad 5.1

In order to troubleshoot this problem, we need to have some of the macros that don't work. Please send the .tpm files to "support@textpad.com" with a full description of their function.
I can't do that as the sending of attachments from my office email is restricted. Can I upload TPM files ...

I've encountered the same issue - none of my macros work with TP5 but still work in 4.7.3

Any chance of a response from Helios?

Thanks. Done.

Thanks. I did go to that page earlier on but there was no link for Textpad 5. I cleared my IE page cache and retried to no avail. Now I've tried again and the TP 5 download link is there! How bizarre.

I don't think there is an option to download as a .zip file. Only .exe.

I know. My post was a ...

I've followed the link from the announcement post from Helios but can't find where I can download the install file from. Has TP5 been pulled from Helios web site?
Also, would it be possible to also include the file as a ZIP as many corporate firewalls block the downloading of EXEs from the web ...

i just hope that, if it comes without some major functionality, that it supports user-supplied plugins (or a plugin to support python-scripting the whole editor) so i can hack my way towards my ideal editor configuration.
Much more useful would be support for Active Scripting so that any AS ...
