Search Window and other Tool Output locations

[lklawrie]

Long time Textpad user.

At some point in the past, I managed to get my search window showing up in the same area as the document tabs. Having now replaced the 17 yo desktop, I can no longer figure out how to do that.

Any hints or how tos will be most appreciated.

It's hard to explain the interactive way to do it, without a video, but the simplest is to exit from TextPad and then delete this file for version 9:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\9\GUIConfig.xml

or this one for version 8:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\8\GUIState.xml

Everything will be in its default position when you start TextPad again.

Apparently the default is to have it in a separate window? I removed GUIConfig.xml from %appdata%\Roaming\Helios\Textpad\8

And when I start it again, I get the attached screen.
