persistent bookmarks

Post by grahamkenville »

I use TextPad constantly, and it's one of the best applications I've ever used.

The one feature I would love to see is persistent bookmarks.

Perhaps TextPad could store in the registry the line numbers of the bookmarks for the most-recently-used documents.

It seems like an easy feature to add, and it would be a great help for me!

Thanks,
-Graham

Have you tried creating a workspace??, then opening that workspace all your stuff will be intact and it will even take you back to the line you were at when you closed TP..

File /workspace /save
or Alt+F,W,A, to save as
then Alt+F,W,S, to continue saving as you work ..

TP rockz...

All this time and I never tried the workspace feature.

That's a big help, thanks!

It still would be nice to have persistent bookmarks without saving the workspace.

Thanks,

The bookmarks info has to be saved someplace, you dont want that saved in the file as hidden info which will lead to all sorts trouble when scripts are being edited etc, hence the workspace scenario.

Speaking of workspace: In "customize toolbars | commans" there is a button for "open workspace". I need buttons for "save workspace" and "close workspace" as well.

The file menu is too indirect (file | workspace | save).

Then how about a KB shortcut?? Nothng can be faster than that.

Configure /preferences /keyboard /file

In any case the workspace is saved when TP is closed with your last working space... which could mean that if you open a space and accidentally close a file, when the space is loaded again that file will be missing..

I still dont agree with the way that works.. we should have direct control over that workspace save insted of TP doing our housekeeping ...

Or maybe, we could have a little tubby knocking on screen to remind us :lol:
