Startup in Document Selector instead of editor window
How can I get textpad to start with the cursor in the editor window instead of the Document Selector Window??
It works properly if I double click on a recognized file, but if I right click and select textpad from the context menu it starts up and the document selector window is the active window.

Create Wordspaces.
When you open up to a Workspace, it will be in the same condition, including cursor position, as when you saved it.
There is also an option to reload the last workspace when TextPad starts, on the General page of the Preferences dialog box.

Good luck......

Hi Dan...
Try this example: If you have document open, set to word wrap, and cursor in middle of some line when you do this. Have auto-load last workspace activated. When you have the document in the Workspace, do not save it with the normal Save. Use File, Workspace, Save.
Now close TextPad. Open up TextPad again, and see it it works this time.
Perhaps it was not saved correctly?That didn't work. The document selector is still the focus point.

Here's a little more info (its wierd)
When I right click on a file I get my drop-down window....
OPEN
Open Wtih >
TextPad
Add to Zip
Add to filenmame.txt.zip
etc....
Now if I were to double-click on the file and its associated to textpad then
all is OK. It puts my cursor in the right window. If I choose Open With,
then textpad in that pull-down, then all is OK. BUT, If I choose TextPad
from above, then it puts me in the left Document Selector window....
