When I use "File > Open...", and type in an non-existent file name, I get a question: "C:\.....<path to file>..... This file doesn't exist. Create the file?". When answered with "Yes", nothing is created and the "Open File(s)" window closes. I also tested the "No" option, and, as expected, nothing ...

When I use the "Find in files...." search option, and search through a really large amount of files, I don't see the searched files going by at the bottom of the search window, like I used to. I basically get no feedback that anything is happening apart from the "buzy" cursor. It's basically the ...

Thank you both for your reactions. I never thought of the "Block select mode", but it makes sense. I hope it gets resolved in the next release.

Here you can see the settings I use in the "Find my files..." request:

In Textpad c9.4.1, Windows 11, I can copy and paste with ctrl-c and ctrl-v. This works fine most of the time. However, sometimes this problem occurs:

When I ctrl-v the same content in "Find..." or "Find in Files...", and as far as I can tell only there, I get an added "\n" at the end of the paste ...

Thank you for that tip on the <tab> key in the Search & Replace dialog. That worked.

And yes, when nothing is selected in the document, both inputs are selected. I must had something selected when I tried to replicate this problem.

I've noticed 2 minor problems in TP 9.2.0:

When using the open file dialog box I used to be able to select files and press the <del> key on the keyboard to delete them. This doesn't work anymore. What does work is the "Delete" option in the local menu when I right-click the mouse. It seems the ...

I cannot replicate this problem in TP 9.2.0. When I go to "Search" in the menu, and select menu item "Replace...", I get something like this:

What does it look like for you?

I do have to get used to tabbing twice to get from "Find what:" to "Replace with:". Previously you could ...

This is indeed a new problem in version 9.1.

I don't find the dockable window a pratical solution. With the non docked results you have more room to show the results.

The reason we would want to close the dialog box, and keep the results open, is that the dialog box covers up some of the results.

This problem was resolved in version 9.1.

Thank you Helios Software Solutions.

I'm using TextPad 9.0.1 on Windows 11.

When I go to the "File" menu, select "Open....", and select multiple files, TextPad will only open up to 10 files . It then also opens one empty file with half a file name. This empty file is actually created on the hard disk.

Can anyone else here reproduce ...

Thanks for solving this problem in TP 8.3.0.

OK, the problem is back. I have now noticed that this problem only occurs when I select "Full path names on document selector and tabs" in "View" of the "Preferences".

This seems like such an easy problem to solve. 8)

I just had a BSoD (blue screen of death), after which Textpad seems to have lost all its settings. It now looks like this:

In other words: Completely different from what it was. However, now the problem I reported above is gone. So clearly it was somehow related ...

This seems to be a bug?
When I press the SAVE button the file extensions get trimmed to the first character only.
I'm using TextPad 8.2.0 (64bit) in Windows 10.
It looks like this (all files are .php):

My suspicion is that the " *", which indicates that a file ...
