Bad path after upgrade to 5.0.3

Post by Pascal Boivin »

Hi

I updated my textpad from 4.7.3 to 5.0.3. Everytime I open an existing workspace, I get this message for every text file:

Error accessing 'C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\System\TEXT.SYN'
C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\System\TEXT.SYN was not found....

If I look in the document class "Text", I see TEXT.SYN as the syntax file, but there is no path. So I don't know why it still search in Textpad 4 instead of 5.

You can fix this problem as follows:

Click on:

1. Configure
2. Preferences
3. Plus sign next to Document Classes
4. Plus sign next to "Text"
5. Syntax
6. Check the "Enable syntax highlighting" box.
7. Under the heading "Syntax definition file" Select
"text.syn".
8. Click Apply / OK

I uncheck, then check "Enable syntax highlighting" like you said but it didn't change anything.

I've discovered "C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\System\TEXT.SYN" is written in all my .TWS file so I guess I have to recreate all of them. But because I'm lazy, I will just copy the file from textpad 5 to textpad 4.
