I'm sure it used to.
Hi,
I use a code formatter I have set up to be called as a tool. If it makes any changes to the active document it will save it. I'm sure TextPad used to pop up the "Another application has updated file XXX, reload it?" box straight away whether or not I had saved it myself ...

Re: set default directory
In preferences, Folders, Startup.
And you may or may not want "Working folder follows active document" set under General.

Re: 9.9.4: doubleclick in Explorer with running TextPad does nothing, Win11
I can't reproduce it on 9.9.4 windows 11.
closing the last file minimizes, and double clicking a .txt file restores the window and opens the file.

Re: Typing text with "www." renders the it showing blank
I know you have checked the colour settings but can you describe or show what you actually see in the file properties under colors and URL?
Colours can be set for each document class but you can also right click and select properties.

I will do first thing tomorrow. It's on a server at work and I'm at home. I've saved your email though if you want to remove from above.

Re: v9.9 search bug: output wraps within lines
I've just came here as I noticed the same thing.
If the find in files produces say 100 results, the result at approximately line 40 and at line 80 will be split over 2 lines.
I agree that the splits happen every 4096 characters.

Re: Did the logic for the file tabs order change recently?
Have a look at: Configure -> Preferences -> View -> Tabbed Document Selector -> Create New Tabs Rightmost

Re: Capitalize - Ctrl+Shift+U not working V8.20
Not sure what to advise. As you are W11 (like me) do you have anything that traps keyboard commands before TextPad sees it? I'm thinking Ctrl+Shift+U is something to do with a driver on your computer, graphics etc?
I was once caught out by a shortcut that turned the screen upside down.

Re: Capitalize - Ctrl+Shift+U not working V8.20
I use that often to format comments in source code, don't remember a problem when I was on V8, but I went to V9 ages ago so I'm probably no help.
What do you see here? (in case it helps others to understand the issue)
Cheers,
Also a Michael.

Re: How to change the characters that words break/wrap on
I can reproduce this in V9.6.0
Tried using different quote symbols, brackets etc.
Also happens without setting a word break column number. Simply turning word wrap on and making the window smaller.
