Updating old version breaks syntax highlighting

I installed Textpad 4.7.1 in a different location to where I had my old copy of 4.6.something. It automatically uninstalled the old version (which I don't like, incidentally, but there you go...) and installed the new version into the directory I asked for. However... it migrated some of my settings across. Theoretically this is a good thing, except that it kept all the syntax highlighting filenames pointed at the old directory, which no longer existed. So I'd get error boxes telling the path was wrong, and had to fix it myself for each of the document classes. Anybody else see this if they install into a different place than where their old version is?

Hi, I've had a similar problem. See my post entitled 'Document Classes not working after reinstall'. Please let me know if you find an answer. It is very annoying.
