Ok. I've read the release notes for Textpad 6.0. I'm happy about the portability. But, I'm not impressed. Honestly, that is a feature I could implement over 1 weekend. Seriously now. How long did it take?? I'm a developer and I write software, and I know that adding that feature would take a max of ...

I had an idea while I was waiting around for the next release of Textpad.. Why not make an OPEN-SOURCE Textpad replacement. Put in all the best features of Textpad, but make it open source. I wonder if there is any interest in a kickstarter fund to get this off the ground. I bet we could have a ...

I already have moved on, and it sucks because of all the work i've spent over the last decade building macros, and extending Textpad. I've also recommended Textpad to many, many students in the past, and driven sales towards textpad when possible, but that has also ended. Textpad is sadly stuck in ...

There are plenty of other users of Textpad who are upset about Helios practices.. have you ever read the rest of this forum?? It is very upsetting to those of us who have been using Textpad for 10 years, to see it be neglected by the people who are developing it. I paid for the software, and i'd be ...

I want them to support code pages AND Unicode. At this point it is rediculous to wait another 5 years for them to release a new version, which very likely will not support UTF8/16/Code Pages properly. How long is reasonable to wait? Forever? If Helios were the smallest bit worth trusting they would ...

It is absolutely shocking that it has been so long that Textpad has not been fixed to work how it's users need it to work, and with so much competition from other editors that do support these code page features it makes me wonder how Textpad can continue at all to do business. The world is moving ...

Thank you for the fix Matthew. It might help me, but I typically have a large number of text files open at the same time, so the decreased screen size hurts even with two monitors stacked vertically. I usually split a text file in the middle and display one half on the top monitor and the other half ...

I'm sure it won't be long, but I hope it at least gets noticed.

Goodbye Textpad! It was nice knowing you, but you are a dead project.

Line numbers dissapear when a text file is split vertically or horizontally. I often use line numbers to jump around a document and when they dissapear, I have no frame of reference to jump around quickly. This causes me a lot of frustration. I've found that this is a bug unique to textpad running ...

good luck getting any response from anyone at Textpad about this. i'm starting to think there's nobody at the wheel anymore.

I really need some of these Windows7 incompatibilities fixed, ASAP... my productivity is really being impacted by some features of Textpad being incompatible with Windows 7.

I installed Textpad 5.3.1 on a virtual machine running WinXP Pro, and the line number issue does not seem to occur there.

So, it seems to be another Win7 related bug.


The more I use win7, the less I like it.

I noticed today that when I split the textpad file vertically or horizontally using the little gadget above the 'up' scroll arrow or the 'left' scroll arrow on the textpad window, that the line numbers disappear. If I un-split the window for the text file i'm editing, the line numbers reappear. This ...

I upgraded recently to Textpad 5.3.1, on a Windows 7 x64 ultimate system (have been using Textpad every day for many years). Line numbers are disappearing from files that I've been editing. I haven't found a pattern to when or why this is happening. My typical workflow is to load about 30 javascript ...
