Save As functionality from Document Selector

Post by hashimpv4u »

I came to this requierement when I opened many files in a text pad window. With the help of Document Selector ( Ctrl + Tab ) I browse between them.

Now if I need to get the same set of files again, after a shut down, I will have to go and open one after another from their respective directories. There is a chance for missing out some of them if I dont have good memory on the file names.

So if I select some / all the files from the Document Selector if we also have a facility to Save As on them, it will be a nice one. So later I will just open this folder and opens all the document again in a text pad window.

Look in the help under How To... | Use Workspaces.

Also, Edit | Copy Other | All File Names will copy the names of all open files onto the clipboard. You can paste that into a file of your choice to create a file of file names. You can handle that file in two ways: you can open it in TextPad and use Ctrl+Shift+G on each name it contains in turn to open all the files; or you can provide its name to TextPad on its command line as an "@filename" parameter. Look in the help under Reference Information | Command Line Parameters.

Workspaces are simpler.
