How to auto add External Tools in Toolbar...

Post by ychch0819 »

Hi all...

I use textpad 5.4.2 version...and I add some "External Tools" by regedit...

but when I open textpad, I only see my External Tools in the menubar's "Tools", but can't see External Tools in Toolbar...

the Release note in 5.4.0 write this have been fixed as follow:
Breaking change: user tools now appear on the toolbar in the same order as on the Tools menu.

the following code is my regedit, need to add something?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 5\Tools\1]
"Properties"=hex:01,00,00,00,57,80,00,00,e8,09,00,00
"MenuText"="build"
"Command"="cmd.exe"
"Parameters"="make build"
"Folder"="$FileDir"
"RE"="^<< File:\\[\\([a-zA-Z0-9_.\\\\:]+\\)\\] line:\\[\\([0-9]+\\)\\]"

You need to display the Tools toolbar: right-click the menu bar and select Tools or click View > Toolbars > Tools.

It's not in the registry. Display of the toolbars is controlled by %APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\5.0\config.xml

Look at <BarInfo7> for the Tools toolbar.
