If a file is opened, then closed, and an attempt is made to delete the folder that the file was in, there is a message saying it is in use and cannot be deleted. It may be because it is still in the recently opened list. TextPad must be closed in order to delete it. I request that files be released when they are closed.

Is this the same problem as reported in the following threads?

Closing a file keeps the file handle opened

How can I release locks on files once they are closed

Yes, those posts look like they cover the subject.

This occurs because TextPad automatically changes current directory to that of the current file. If the file is closed and no other is open, the current dir will remain at the file just closed. You need to open another file in another directory.

It would, perhaps, be more useful to revert to the configured default directory.
