How important is it to you, to have this feature implemented into future versions of TextPad?

Important, even if the size/efficiency of TextPad increases/degrades

undo reload updated file

Post by Web1X »

When an another application modifies a file and TextPad prompts you to reload the updated version, it would be nice to be able to undo and redo that action.

If you wanted to compare an updated version with an older, already-open version, my first instinct was to say "well, couldn't you just say no to the reload, and then open the file again and look at the two as they're both held in memory?"

Then I realized you couldn't do that.

So perhaps as an alternative to this suggestion, they could allow you to open multiple instances of a file, both writing to the same location but containing different memory snapshots of the contents. That would be equally nice i think
