New TextPad license, upgrade, and ...

I am currently using TextPad Version 5.4.2. I want to purchase a license and upgrade to the current version of TextPad (Version 8.8.1, 13-Jun-2021), and I had a few questions. 1.) I expected to first upgrade to Version 6.5.0, then to Version 7.6.4, and finally to Version 8.8.1 . Is that appropriate ...

In reading the specification for editorconfig, it states: EditorConfig files are read top to bottom and the most recent rules found take precedence. So given a .editorconfig file of: [*.cpp] tab_width=4 [lib/**.cpp] tab_width=2 and a file named: c:/app/lib/source/main.cpp I would expect the tab ...

The "Stay on top" problem has been mentioned many times, but the search function on the forum is not the best and it isn't indexed in Google, so it's understandable that you didn't find it. You probably toggled the setting on inadvertently by right-clicking the TextPad button on the taskbar and ...

You could take a "snapshot" of the Textpad configuration file (files) and use it to overwrite the Textpad configuration files whenever you re-boot, or by running a batch/script as needed. Similarly, any settings stored in the registry could be restored by importing .REG files as needed. I don't know ...

Upgrading from Textpad 5.4.2 to 7.0.9

I am currently using Textpad 5.4.2 on fully updated Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I want to update to the current version of Textpad (7.0.9), but I want to do it carefully so I don't loose any preference settings and customizations. Should I update to Textpad v 6.2.2 then to v 7.0.9, or do I need to ...

EDIT: I should mention that my workspaces gets cleared to zero files often, and I believe it happens when, after I've rebooted and FAILED to reattached a shared drive, I load the workspace. So the issue is that when TP can't load the files listed in the .tws file it removes them and saves the ...

Hi ben ... Now try replacing ([^e]*) with [$1] . The behaviour is entirely analogous. Thus TextPad 7 is consistent in this respect. In Old TextPad, replacing ([^e]*) with [\1] behaved exactly as replacing ([^e]*) with [$1] does in TextPad 7. ... I haven't tried Textpad 7 yet (I will, soon)... I ...

I had a similar problem previously. To begin with, I would save (export) a section of the registry. Then I would edit it with Textpad and save it. Then, if I would try to "import" the edited file back into the registry using the registry editor, the import would fail with complaints that the file ...

Textpad opens "On Top" of all other windows.

I have been using Textpad V 5.3.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Starting yesterday (18-Oct-2013), Textpad began staying on top of all other program windows (topmost window). I can switch to any other program window and the other programs behave properly, but the window for any other program remains ...
