I just downloaded the beta, and the problem I was having with 4.7.0 is now fixed! I can now open Explorer, right-click on a file, choose TextPad from the context menu, and open the file. With 4.7.0, all I was getting was a blank screen. As before, I can double-click on an associated filetype and sta...

bartlett22183.. In a general sense, thats an unfair comment and doesnt take into account that TP functions consistently flawless 99% of the time (in my case) for what is was programmed to do..text editing.. [snip] Really its the way that windowz hides things in a convoluted fashion and try to contr...

If you already have a license for any version of TextPad 4, it is free to upgrade to 4.7, so what have you got to lose! He may not lose any money, but if these threads are any indication, he might gain a lot of frustration with 4.7.0, as people seem to keep stumbling over problems that didn't exist...

Thanks for the instructions. I have saved them in a separate text file. I have diddled with the registry at times, although only with great care and some trepidation, as I know that one mistake can really mess things up. At the moment I am able to get to TP 4.7.0 through the Send To option on the co...

Please recall that I am NOT trying to associate TextPad 4.7.0 with any particular file type or extension through Folder Options, so that I can double click on it, unless I am completely misunderstanding you. (I have been known to do that.) Using the technique you refer to already works with TP 4.7.0...

Good suggestion for associating TP with a specific filetype. This already works for me in TP 4.7.0. However, one thing that 4.7.0 fails at, as I mentioned before, is right clicking on an arbitrary file in Windows Explorer. When I do that, I get the usual popup menu. What is on it will vary from comp...

Re: Can't open files by dbl-clicking in Windows Explorer
Since upgrading from Version 4.6.2 to 4.7 I can no longer open files by double clicking in Windows Explorer. Textpad will open, but the target file will not be loaded. The "Textpad" entry on the context menu (right mouse click) works OK, it seems to be just double clicking that doesn't. M...
