Re: Windows 11 and 4.7.3

Unless something has been fixed, after this version, you could not display the DOS characters in the clip library window. And the Find dialog.

Windows 11 and 4.7.3

Don't judge but we still us 4.7.3 and systems for support of DOS ASCII characters not supported in newer versions in various areas of the UI. Anyways, we have a client with Windows 11. Everything was working fine until a recent Windows update. Now they can't apply the license through the interface ...

Hot keys to Macros and Tools

It looks like I'm hitting the max folks, but just want to confirm. Using an old version of TextPad (4.7.3) because the newer ones can't handle/display certain ancient DOS characters (like the heart, club, etc.) we use in production, even using the Terminal font. I can create up to 64 macros and 64 ...

DOS encoding in Clip File and Find box

Please fix display of DOS encoding in Clip File and Find box. Even if we specify DOS encoding in our Clip files, the system is defaulting to ANSI encoding when displaying the characters in the Clip file window. It is also defaulting to ANSI encoding in the Find box. This is a feature that worked in ...

DOS encoding

Thanks for fixing this. Please fix DOS encoding/display in Clip Files and the Find box. ANSI encoding is used even even if specified in Clip file as DOS. The last version where this worked is 4.6.3.

Null character handling is a real problem

TP6 is converting null characters authored in TP4.5.3 with a HEX A0, which is a real problem for our current workflows.

Problems with DOS character sets, display, etc. in 6.1.3

We use DOS encoding/PC compatibility on most files for a legacy system. We also have various clip files and they use a CHARSET=DOS. In previous versions, the bell character (HEX 07) would display as a bullet everywhere. It still does in the main document window, but not in the clip file window, or ...

Re: Tools Without Save ... Ditto

I have a simple stupid script that accepts a filename as a parameter and makes a copy of that file with a current timestamp. I actually have it setup in my Send To 'folder'. So, whenever I'm about to make a (potentially stupid) change in TextPad, I wander over to Explorer, (re) find my file, 'stamp ...
