Yes, I understand that. But I am opening the file by just double-clicking on it. In previous versions (including 8.15.1) the file was opened in the most recently activated TextPad instance. Now it is always opened in the instance that was opened first.

Version 8.16.0: When multiple TextPad instances are open, opening a file that is associated with TextPad (e.g. TXT) from Explorer does not open the file in the most recently activated TextPad window. It always opens the file in the TextPad instance that was started first. This was working in ...

The Workspace and External Tools dropdowns are missing in v9. Is it possible to add them also in v9?

Am I really the only one having this issue and has anyone any ideas how to revert to the XP behaviour where new or renamed entries get placed in the correct order in the document selector?

Thanks

For example: I have the following files open and displayed in the Document Selector: A C E Next I open a new document (Ctrl ...
