Saving the Textpad window position

[Saltmarsh]

How do I save Textpad's window position - on each opening it reverts to its previous place ? I did manage to save a position at some time in the past and don't remember how I did it. Have I changed or has Tp !

I've used Tp since the early 90s and don't remember this bothering me until a little while ago. Maybe age is catching up. John

I manage this simply by never closing TextPad.
(... and normally using it full screen.)

8.4.2 works for me as expected: when I end the program then exactly that window position is saved. Starting TextPad later displays the window at exactly the position where it was closed. Same with all of TextPad's dialog windows.

It's saved in %APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\8\GUIState-0701.xml and in there with these element attributes:

Code: Select all

<GUI CompactMode="1">
	<NormalLayout>
		<DockingPane>
			<Pane-12 Type="3" WindowRectTopPos="536" WindowRectBottomPos="673" WindowRectLeftPos="807" WindowRectRightPos="1261" ExpandedHeight="0" TopContaner="13"/>
		</DockingPane>
		<Dialog>
			<Find l="108" t="156" r="906" b="334"/>
			<Replace l="218" t="36" r="1070" b="234"/>
			<Grep l="417" t="100" r="827" b="333"/>
		</Dialog>

So you say no matter with which window position you end TextPad, starting it anew (not a new instance while an old is still running) will use a different window position?
