Open many files at once.

Post by mgaert2 »

Assume you have alist of 100 files in the Clipboard, one per line. How to load them into TextPad in one go?

For a small number of files, Ctrl-O with
"a1.txt" "a2.txt" ...
works, but only those files are loaded which fit into the first 256 characters of this "File Name". Remaining files are silently ignored (this is a bug).

Some "Batch Load" with a multi-line edit field would be nice, located maybe under "Manage Files...".

From textPad Help on Command Line options:

@filename

Open all the files that are listed, one per line, in the specified file. This overrides the option to load the workspace, specified on the General page of the Preferences dialog box.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
