Saving files over network in Windows XP

[jurgen]

We use textpad 4.7 on two pc's (WinXP pro). We 'share' a folder on one pc and mount this as a drive (e.g. Z:\). Now when the remote pc tries to save a file to this Z drive, textpad does not respond for a minute.

What can we do to solve this?

(PS Notepad does not have this problem, so it is not a network issue.)

Please try implementing the following procedure in TextPad:

From the Configure menu choose:

1. Preferences
2. File
3. Under the heading "When files are modified by another process", check "Ignore"
4. Click Apply / OK.

We still have the problem. Even if the files affected are not open in an other process...

This may be related to another problem that some other users are experiencing, so can you please check if you can open files from a CD?


Thanks.

What priveleges do you have on that particular drive/folder. Do you have write access?

Reply to helios:
I just tried and I can read files from CD or DVD (both text and binary)

Reply to kanniballl:
I do have full access to the shared directory...

I might have the solution to this problkem myself but don't know for sure.

We edit files in a directory used by Apache Webserver and PHP 4.3.2 while editing (no page requests during save/open though).

Anyway NOTEPAD.EXE does not have this problem. What can we do?
