there are no Backup settings.

There's another file in the a different folder that's been updated twice a day over the same period which DIDN'T lose its changes!
I would really like to see what I lost in the first file as it's my development log and I'm finally getting into Android after a long time-out.

I can't see ...

My files are all in workspace Main.tws.

Yesterday I opened TP and there were no files in the Doc Selector so I reloaded them manually via win Explorer but didn't do anything about the Workspace as I didn't know about it.

I made some changes to a file.

Today I found out about Workspaces and ...

I have TP 5.2.0 32 bit under XP SP2 on a Fujitsu tablePC and it takes over 20 seconds for the Preferences dialog to open!

Thanks for your help,

<Did you change the font-size for Screen _and_ for Printer?>

Yes, that's what i had to do, thanks Mudguard!

I think the Font pane would be more user friendly if the radio buttons for Scope were placed above the actual font settings -- indicating they are more important.

I've just upgraded to 5.1 but still the File -> Print Preview shows the wrong thing (I changed the font to Times New Roman 48 and the normal screen shows really large print, but the print preview shows over 50 lines of text).

I've used TextPad intensively in the past and suspect that I'm doing ...

Sorry, I should have said that I've increased the size of the text.

I've increased the font size, but the Print Preview result hasn't changed.

I can get jdb HelloWorld to work from the dos box but not as a TP command (customized tool).
In the XP SP2 dos box,
E:\>java -version
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

E:\>cd E ...

I'm using XP Pro with SP 2 and suspect that's a problem.

I've been using TP for years from Explorer, except for lately.
I applied the below fix (DDE = [open("%1")] ) and now can open a file with right click->Open but nothing else -- it just sits there.

So what do I do next?

Thanks,
Peter.

What is your setting under
Configure - Preferences - Editor - Use Posix Regular Expression Syntax ?
-- I have it turned ON,
-- but it doesn't make any difference OFF.

Additionally:
Sometimes I got problems if the Regex did not match the whole line.
Try adding .*$ to the end of your regex ...

Well, I know next to nothing about Jikes but using search for
"jikes" I found a lot in the forums, including these two links:

Thanks for the fast response.

I did do a search before posting my msg.

I have a Tool/DOS cmd that does a Jikes compile
and will goto the source error.

If I make a new command using the same parms
it won't goto the error with:
"Cannot jump to item under cursor"

The parms are:
jikes -g:source +E -classpath %CLASSPATH% $File
$FileDir
^\([A-Za-z]:[^:]+\):\([0-9 ...

Thanks a lot CyberSlug, that works fine.

I guess windows distinguishes between CALLing batch files
and running .EXEs.

Thanks again.
Peter.

I want to start 8 Textpads with 8 particular workspaces.
If they're in a batch file (under win2K) as follows, it runs the first one okay, but doesn't exit.

Thanks,
Peter
