Textpad hangs/crashes when accessing OneDrive

[jkcohen]

Hi! I am finding that TP 9.4.1 does not play well with OneDrive. When I try to open or save a file in OneDrive using TP, there is a minute-long (if not longer) delay, during which the machine may freeze or operate very slowly. I am starting to avoid TP because I can't risk the program crashing and losing an unsaved file. Any help would be gratefully received.

Save your files in a "real" directory — which is later synced with your cloud backup?

Just one topic ago you could have read things to try out. Since "OneDrive" is a network share go for #4 in the following list.

Similar topics:

1. Hang / crash on File Open
2. Save/Save-As Folder List "Jump to" Help/Request
3. Ctrl-A to Open Multiple Files
4. TP 9.1 hangs with network shares after upgrade from 8.15, including "disable .editorconfig file processing on Configure/Preferences/Editor"
5. Bug: TextPad 9 Not Responding
6. long freeze/delays with save on local (C:) drive

Core quotes of potential fixes:

Try avoiding the themed dialog, because 9.x doesn't use Windows' native GUI anymore and as a result the 3rd party GUI provider hasn't fully imitated every aspect.

Toggling the 'Workspace follows active file' OFF and ON again seems to have "fixed" the issue.

Does it make any difference if you disable .editorconfig file processing on Configure/Preferences/Editor?
