save as popup

Post by textpop »

I have used the TextPad Program for Years and recently upgraded to TextPad 5 but an irritating problem has occurred with the new installation. The "save as" window keeps popping up every few minutes, consequently driving me nuts.
I want the option to name the file "AFTER" I complete the file and then select a name that will have reference to the file, or, close without saving which deletes the file.
I don't see any reference to my problem in the prefences setup, perhaps I may be overlooking something. I tried looking in the help section but I don't have time to read everything right now.
I either have to stop this irritation or stop using TextPad.
I hope someone can help.

The second thing that has changed with TextPad 5.2 is the icon it shows for TextPad files in Windows, it used to show a cool little TextPad icon now it shows a text icon that looks similar to a "Word.doc" or a windows "Note Pad" file, EEEEeeeewwwww, why would anyone
want that???? Is there a solution???? :cry:

In order to prevent the Save As dialog appearing, you will need to uncheck the option to Automatically save on the Backup Preferences page.

For the TextPad icon, please see the following post:
