I have been using Textpad for a long time. I find most other editors to sluggish or too bloated with features for my tastes. I tried using jEdit after talking with a friend, but even after days of tweaking the configuration, it still didn't feel right. It seems very sad that development of Textpad seems to have halted.
Anyway, I often work with frameworks that have many files with identical names stored in different directories. If I choose to display the full path, then I can't even see the filenames anymore because the paths are so long. Here was my idea:
Map a network drive to the folder containing your files:
"Subst X: C:\Path\To\Your\Files" - Where files is a directory/folder name
Open Textpad and open all your files by browsing to them on your X: drive, then right click in the document selector area and click on "Show Full Paths". This seems to work pretty well, as long as your directory structure isn't too deep, or your folder names aren’t too long.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone
