How to backup or transfer TextPad's configuration

Post by bbadmin »

All TextPad's configuration files are stored in this folder:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\
Copy that and paste it into File Explorer's address bar, to see the subfolder corresponding to the major version number of your release of TextPad. It contains configuration files with the extension XML, macros with the extension TPM, clip libraries with extension TCL, syntax definition files with the extension SYN, and custom toolbar icons with extensions PNG and SVG.

For version 8, it also contains spell checking files with extension TLX. For version 9, spell checking files are stored in this folder:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Spelling
It contains subfolders for each installed language. Each subfolder contains these files:

Code: Select all

default.acl - words to autocorrect
default.dic - additional words to check
default.exc - words to ignore
License key files are stored in this folder:

Code: Select all

%PROGRAMDATA%\Helios\TextPad
