"New Document" does not open Windows Explorer.

Post by imcgilli »

In older versions of Textpad when I clicked on "New Document" icon in the task bar it used to open Windows Explorer for me to select the new document.

But in the current Textpad version when I click on "New Document" it opens some Texpad version of windows explorer.

Is there any option to make Textpad use Windows Explorer when clicking "New Document?

The reason is I have Windows Explorer set up with my most used folders in the Quick Access pane. So it is very inconvenient when the Textpad explorer opens I have to go through the directory structure to find the location that I want to access.

There is a configuration option to switch back to the "real" Windows dialog box.
Menu: Configure > Preferences
File tab: Use the standard file open dialog box
