Bob's method works for me.... I'm pretty sure the "My Documents" folder is the default entry, so is the change not getting written/read correctly? Problem with registry key permisisons or something?

The Tools menu (and Macros menu) should only contain entries relavant to your active file type (document class). Right now all tools are global. The idea is to also allow local tools. For example, your C++ tools might include: Compile, Comment out, and Uncomment Your Java tools menu might include ...

Just tossing out ideas: 1) How about something analogous to web browser cookies? You could have a central storage location (presumably local); however, these "cookies" might be difficult to transfer to other computers... 2) NTFS allows for storage of metadata along with files. However, this feature ...

Actually, it would be simple (and cool) if the tools displayed on the tools menu could be dependent upon the file extension of the current file. I agree!! We should be able to create global tools (available to all file classes) AND local tools (available to the active file class). There should be ...

There are quite a few ways:
1) Hold down Alt, then press 0151 on the Number Pad (somewhat tricky on laptop keyboards)
2) Start, Run charmap and copy and paste the symbol...
3) Use the ASCII chars clip library and click on the symbol to insert...

Hope that helps

By next week, I hope to have something like this in my collection of tools: http://www.textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4721 Could you provide a list of the file types and compiler command line arguments you use? Here's a partially working script.... ; Requires AutoIt3.exe from http://www ...

Since TWS files have special meaning to TextPad, you can't use TextPad to edit them. You must use another text editor. I saved two documents on my desktop plus a third in a subfolder, and I saved a workspace for them. I opened the worksapce file in Notepad: ÿÿ TextPad txt ECOD Document1.txt TIDE , ...

You read the FAQ?! Now *that's* a show stopper.

I confirm the bug.

I second what MudGuard says....

I recommend a scripting program like AutoIt if you want simple GUI stuff like FileOpenDialog and MsgBox.

Hope that helps

I think this is a good suggestion!

Just so you know, I belive regular expressions can help you get similar functionality: ^.{26}searchString if using POSIX reg expressions or ^.\{26\}searchString if using TextPad's default
finds the searchString if it begins in column 27.

In that case, try [ ]+$

See "How to Use Regular Expressions" in TextPad's help file for more info.

A regular expression search and replace can remove whitespace from the end of each line. Click Search, Replace then fill in the "Find what' field with [[:blank:]]+$ and leave the other field blank. Make sure the "use regular expressions" box is checked. How the regular expression works: [[:blank ...

On the serach&replace dialog window you need to click the checkbox for "use regular expressions"

Otherwise, you could copy a tab character to the clipboard and paste it to the replace field.

Hope that helps

I have a program to solve #2, but it *might* only work for the English version of TextPad. If you are using an Italian version, can you tell me the Menu names? English version: [ F ile E dit S earch V iew T ools M acros C onfigure W indow H elp] EDIT: Here's the tool and instructions anyway: How to ...

I hope TextPad gets this feature! In the meantime, you can try a program I wrote http://www.textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4721 I also have a slightly different version posted at http://www.textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4534 I have some changes to add (once winter break comes), but it should ...
