It works fine when the 'working folder follows current document' is un-ticked. But I need that option enabled. Its comes very handy when trying to open other files from a folder that has already a file open in textpad.

Unchecking the 'working folder follows active document' works, but I really like that feature. I mostly use textpad to track log files. I have log files located at different folders and the 'working folder follows active document' feature saves me a lot of mouse clicks to open another file from a fo...

How can I release locks on files once they are closed

Textpad 5.2.0 does not release locks on files once they are closed on WindowsXP.

Try opening a file in textpad and close teh file. Then try to delete the file. Windows throws an error sayng the file is in use by a program or person. Howeevr once textpad is closed teh file can be deleted.

Plugin support would be a really great feature

Any one with good programming skills can then develop plugins that would enhance Textpad to suit his/her requirements. Plugin supp...

Support for third party plugins

It would be really great if textpad provides an interface to allow developers create plugins to interact with textpad. The 'tools' feature provided by textpad is good but has its limitations. One limitation that I came across was that external tools can work only on saved files, any unsaved modifica...
