(-_-) TextPad removed from Context menu

Hi Users

I updated TextPad from 520 to 531.

I was disappointed to discover that TextPad has been removed from Context menu and shunted into the "Open With" sub-menu.

This extra step away from convenience is irritating and unnecessary and I want it back in the Context menu.

Is there a way to make that happen?

If not, I shall revert to the older version.

Have you tried the usual setting?

In order to put TextPad on the Context menu, you will need to implement the following procedure:

From the Configure menu choose:

1. Preferences
2. General
3. Under the heading "Put shortcuts to TextPad on" check "Context Menu"
4. Click Apply / OK.

If it is already checked, then uncheck it, click Apply and then re-do it.

I hope this helps.

No. It doesn't work. Tinkering with preferences does not return TextPad to the properties menu.

I finally solved the problem the hard way - by uninstalling TextPad and expunging it entirely from the register with RegEdit.
I then installed version 503 and now it works just fine.
Version 531 was an upgrade too far. Why would anybody think that hiding Textpad from the properties menu would be helpful?

Duh!
