Where is TextPad's config file?

[Cher-Wah Tan]

Hi,

Which is the file that TextPad stores all its configurations in?

I am using 2 copies of TextPad, one at work and the other at home. When I make some customization at work, for example, I would like to copy TextPad's configuration file from work and replace the one at home, so that now my 2 copies of TextPad has exactly the same configuration.

Thanks in advance!

Like most 32-bit Windows programs Textpad stores it's configuration data in the Windows Registry rather than a .ini file. If you want, you can use Windows RegEdit to export the relevant keys to a .reg file and then import it on your other system ...
The branch is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Helios/TextPad 4" ... however it's not a solution I'd recommend if you aren't familiar with the Registry ...

There is a topic in the help documentation entitled "How to Transfer Preferences between PC's". This is exactly the information you need.

This also seems to be a very FAQ... maybe TP needs an 'export settings' tool

I'd pretty much say that EVERY application should have an Export Settings option. I find it amazing that this hasn't become common practice in software development. What more obvious feature to save your users grief?
