Appears to still be there in V 8.23. see attached.

Causes weird errors when "Open All" is then applied.

one line, for example:
H:\Running-Weather\Norway CERRA\Source\TMY_Inderoy_Trondelag_CERRA_1991-2020_tmy-
no.def(3): StateProv=TD

Interestingly, when I searched a different value in these files ...

Got it, uncheck "dockable output windows"

Apparently the default is to have it in a separate window? I removed GUIConfig.xml from %appdata%\Roaming\Helios\Textpad\8

And when I start it again, I get the attached screen.

Long time Textpad user.

At some point in the past, I managed to get my search window showing up in the same area as the document tabs. Having now replaced the 17 yo desktop, I can no longer figure out how to do that.

Any hints or how tos will be most appreciated.

Starting with V8.17, when you select Block Select Mode, the small icon no longer is visible -- so you would have to remember if you had Block Select on or not.

I am not ignoring answering your questions. Since I uninstalled V9 and reinstalled V8, it appears to be working properly.

No idea why or why it didn't.

Wanted to make sure it lasted over a reboot.

So far, so good.

FYI, the reason I installed V9 was that it wasn't working in V8 on this machine.

However, V9 has other problems ref: https://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?p=45369#p45369

So, I am reinstalling V8. Presumably with default installs as V9 appears to have deleted the V8 install.

What's the encoding of the files you are searching? Is the default encoding on Configure » Preferences » Document Classes » Search Results the same as on the PCs that work?

default encoding: Ansi

And note. On this machine that doesn't produce any found items, it worked earlier after I had just ...

It "works". But gives me 0 finds even though there are some.

And it worked at one point and later in the same day failed (that is said there were 0)

I call that a bug.

I posted this quite a while ago and the FindInFiles error is persisting on my machine where it had the problem before.

I installed V9 to see if it would help. Seemed to help yesterday. This morning, it's back to not working.

Will try Ultraedit and see. I really liked Textpad though.

In many versions of Textpad that I have been using, one was able to dock the document selector, clip library, etc so that they would line up at the left side of the screen. See attached -- V8.16

I have been trying all morning to figure out how to do that in V9.2 -- but the docking window doesn't ...

I can't find a config setting that would disable/enable this so, unless there's another reason why it's not working, it looks like a bug.

Have not had that problem.

Have you used the "Defaults" button to make sure you're not forgetting one of the search settings?
yes. i am a loooooong time user of textpad besides.

Have you checked that the folder to start the search in has read access? Because TextPad only tests if it exists in the first place, but getting ...

This is not really a bug. I have Textpad running on 3 machines.

On one of them, FindInFiles does not work. I put in the parameters, press the button and nothing happens.

The other two are fine.

I've reinstalled, removed, installed. No idea????

Okay appears to work if you have at least TWO other textpad sessions going.
