TextPad 5.0.3 hangs with a long delay when it is closed.
Running on Windows XP. I don't have the same problem with Textpad 4.5.0 on the same PC.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks.
TextPad 5.0.3 hangs with a long delay when it is closed

Same issue
Hello.
This happens to me since I've upgraded to 5.2.0 (also happens when 5.2.0 is installed to a clean PC). This does not occur on v4.7.3.
Even if I open Textpad (with no document), and then close it immediately, I get a delay of 3-5 seconds before the app exits.
I've run FileMon and can see that the delay is caused by opening and then writing to...
H:\settings\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0\config.xml
Now H: is a slowish network drive, but not that slow... if I open the above config.xml and save it to the same folder as config1.xml, it saves near enough to instantly. Even a file 10 times the size saves in well under a second.
Is there anyway to tell TextPad to save the config.xml file elsewhere? (It is not an option to move my Application Data folder).
Edit: tsko - is your Application Data folder on the network?
Cheers,
Il
