Re: Tools window - lost output

Hmm.. . I think it is more serious than that - TextPad is failing to execute the xcopy command.

Tools window - lost output

If I execute as a Tool a batch file containing just:

Code: Select all

xcopy /?
I get
S:\xcopy /?

Tool completed successfully
i.e. the command output is missing.

Known bug? Any workaround? Thanks.

Tools window lines out of order

If I execute as a Tool a batch file containing just:

Code: Select all

if 1 goto end
I get
goto was unexpected at this time.

S:\>if 1 goto end

Tool completed with exit code 255
i.e. the error line shows BEFORE the command that generated it.

Known bug? Any workaround? Thanks.

5.2.0 Regexp's hang TextPad

Is there a plan to fix the hangs that occur on regexp Find and Replace e.g.
Find what: \t*
Replace with: \t
Having one typo lose all one's unsaved work is rather a PITA.

Thanks.

On moving my Documents and Settings to a new machine and installing TextPad, I was disappointed to find my TextPad settings lost.

Where does TextPad store these settings???

Thanks.

It might be worth having a look at this thread to see if it answers your question. Thanks, but it doesn't. Without wishing to be negative about TextPad, I would recommend use of other editors to edit Unicode files. Understood (thanks) and I do, but I'd still like to find a solution for TP rather th...

How to I get this to work? If I try to column-select by ALT-drag on a new unsaved doc, TP gives me a regular textflow select.

Unicode display

How do I get TP5 to correctly display a BOMmed UTF-8 .txt file??

Here I get black bars for some non-ASCII chars.

Thanks.
