Hi

Is there a way to toggle between text and binary views of a file?

Easy, open the file twice - once as and editable text view and the other in the read only binary view.
Then you can have tabbed documents, use the document selector or CTRL+Tab - or split the screen..........

Hmm, but that's fiddly. I was looking for a simple toggle ...

Go to TextPad preferences and tools. Then:
1. add a program, name it something like "re-open in Binary"
2. Set the command to c:\program files\textpad 5\textpad.exe
3. Set parameters to $File(0x00).
4. Set initial folder to $FileDir.
5. Apply
Now apply and check under External Tools. You should have an item that will re-open the currently open file in binary. I didn't try it but change #3 to $File(0) and it should reopen a binary file in ascii.
