I wonder what you are suppoeded to rename it to. If anything different so it is not used, why not just delete it?

It already does warn you when you open the file that it's about to mangle your characters. Does it sometimes change the save format to ANSI if you opened it as UTF-8? I've never seen this happen - can you give steps to reproduce? Create a UTF-8 file that has no special characters (e.g. hello). Open ...

Judging form the number of respondents to this poll, this must not be that important of an issue. However, even if Helois does not want to give full UTF support, they should at least 1. WARN if Textpad is going to change the format from (for example) PC UTF-8 to PC ANSI. 2. Get rid of the choices in ...

I suppose a "work around" is to allow multiple instances of TP to run, open some docs in one instance and others is a second instance, and then tile the two instances of TP.

I'd like the "Document Tabs" to have a "new vertical tab group" like other editors do.

Wow, this is really a pain in the neck. How come you can't minimize some of the windows? I have six documents open and would like to minimize 4 of them and tile the other two vertically like I could in version 4.x. It would be nice if the "Document Tabs" had a "new vertical tab group" like other ...

I had this problem too. I went into "preferences/general" and checked "allow multiple files on the command line" and now it works. Also, check out "Put shortcuts to Textpad on" on same page. I was missing a few of those too. The problem I am trying to figure is how do I view more than one document ...

rsperberg,

I followed your link and followed the directions in the ReadMe. When I used the tool it replaced everything with a single "v". Is Tidy supposed to work with 5.1? Should the directions in the ReadMe be changed?

I knew some Unicode files were being searched. I ran the search again but searched for "e" knowing that "e" is probably in every file. Since Textpad searches in order alphabetically, I could narrow down the file causing problems down to two: either the last file searched or the next one. I tried to ...

When I do "Find in Files", I am getting the message "not enough memory for that operation". Up until several months ago, I never had trouble with this. The problem occurs when I search files with the extension *.sql. Other files work fine. I have 2 GB memory and the largest file I search is 346 KB ...
