Textpad "tools" ToolBar issue

[Christopher_G_Lewis]

I'm having problems customizing the Textpad 5.4 Tools toolbar, and issues with adding custom tools to their own toolbar.

I'm running Textpad on Vista (elevated/high, so no UAC issues) and right click the toolbar to show the Tools. The Tools toolbar has:

• Sort
  Compare Files
  Check Spelling
  View in Web Browser
  ---
  User tool 4
  User tool 8
  User tool 5
  User tool 6
  User tool 7
  User tool 9
  User tool 7
  User tool 8
  User tool 9
  User tool 10
  User tool 11
  User tool 12
  User tool 13
  User tool 14
  User tool 15
  User tool 16

When I select customize, highlight Tools and click reset, the tools renumber 1-16 until I click OK, then they go back to the above order.

I've tried deleting the \User\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Helios\TextPad\5.0\config.XML file, but that didn't help.

I've also tried the 5.4.1 release referenced in another forum post.

You can change the order of the Tools on the Tools menu and Tools icons, under Configure/Preferences/Tools. Uncheck and recheck the Tools on the Customize Toolbar options to reset those.

I hope this helps.

That actually doesn't help. Intersestingly, if I switch the order of my first custom tool and my second (CSharp compile, CMD prompt) the tool bar switches user tool 4 and user tool 8, not on apply, but on OK.

The other thing that's screwy is that several of the menu items are disabled, with no way to re-enable them.

this is a bug in 5.4 - I have the same problem

I tried upgrading to 5.4.2 but it did not help
