I was hoping that the upgrade to 7.5 would fix the long-standing failure of XCOPY in a tool, but sadly not. So here is a further report. REM Run on TP 7.5.1 as tool http://i.imgur.com/HZ47pWM.png echo test > %TEMP%\src.bat del /q %TEMP%\dest.bat xcopy %TEMP%\src.bat %TEMP%\dest.bat dir /b %TEMP%\des...

it is a good idea not to use a folder in a \Program FIles subdirectory like you did in 6.5 (and I guess it was the default at least in win XP) which might lost at a new install I used a folder in Program Files because that's what the install instructions say https://archive.is/IVEno#selection-7071....

Has anyone got Tool Output font settings to work?

Not me :(

Here (V7.5.1, Windows 7), Configure, Preferences, Document Classes,
Tool Output, change font size http://i.imgur.com/NG6BjLT.png does nothing. Even after app relaunch.

I'm fully aware of that, thanks.

If anyone has an answer to the question, I'd be grateful.

Textpad has added two Explorer Open with commands for many non-text types such as audio files http://i.imgur.com/iWq9FEu.png .

How can I remedy this?

Thanks.

On Windows 7, TP7.5.1 64-bit (and TP6.5 32-bit) external tools execution fails to execute XCOPY in a batch file. The XCOPY command just does nothing. In a CMD window it works fine.

Any idea why?

I guess the reason that running TP7.5.1 after installing on a machine having TP6.5 caused errors reporting .syn file load failures, is that the TP7 install has failed to carry over additional .SYN files from TP6. Really poor. Where should I store the additional SYN files to avoid this on the next up...

Please enlarge or make resizable dialogs such as Preferences.

On Windows 7 with TP 6.5 (txpeng650.zip) installed, I ran txpeng751-64.zip to install TP 7.5. 1) This apparently removed my TP6.5 without warning. Certainly it broke my shortcuts to TP6.5 .exe 2) This failed to create an entry under All Programs I then ran the (undocumented) Portable Wizard. This wa...

I considered it. But until then. I'd like V6.5 to work.

Run the Portable Wizard program from the Windows Start menu (or Start screen).

Goodness. I haven't looked at that Textpad folder in years. :) Thanks.

Where is the portable option documented, please?

No mention found in help.

But I know the feature is present: https://archive.is/TKFPU#selection-1309.0-1309.140

I no longer have a copy of TextPad 6 to experiment with. OK. Perhaps time for me to bite the bullet on the regex incompatibility and upgrade to 7. The sequence *? is not meaningful in TextPad's old-style regexes. Thanks for spotting that. It is valid and works in Find, but indeed I should have writ...

Try Regular e x pression to match output: in ([A-Z]:\\.*) on line (\d+)$ Registers: F ile: 1 L ine: 2 Thanks Ben. Adjusting that for TextPad 6.5 here, gives: in \([A-Z]:\\.*?\) on line \([0-9]+\)$ But still F4 doesn't work. 1) Verify regex matched error in Find http://i.imgur.com/N8lFewD.png 2) Con...

What are the values of Regular e x pression to match output and Registers for the tool you are using? Aha. It is blank. The tool is PHP and I cannot locate a regex for PHP. Please post the tool output in text form. e.g. Notice: Undefined index: x in D:\Projects\ChrisJJ\chrisjj.com web\www.chrisjj.c...
