Last opened workspace does not show up in workspace list

Hi,

TextPad 5.3.1...

I've configured TextPad to display the last 16 workspaces. The list is full with 16 previously opened workspaces.

When I do File --> Workspace, the list does not show my last (several) workspaces, and I have to go hunting for it.

Shouldn't TextPad recycle the 16 workspaces, swapping out the oldest last accessed workspace when a new one is created/opened?

Is this by design or a bug?

Thanks,
Scott

So does Helios actually monitor these forums, and provide answers to legitimate questions?

According to http://www.textpad.com/support/, these forums are the first avenue for support.

Since Helios (or end users) have not replied to my post, I've submitted this issue via the Textpad feedback form (#3 in the above link). I suppose Helios can ignore that in addition to this post.

Helios, if you do bother to listen to your users, if my issue is a bug, can you add it to your internal bug tracking system to fix in a future release?

They do sometimes, but not very often.

I wouldn't hold your breath. There hasn't been a release in more than a year and there are hundreds of bugs and enhancement requests that have not been addressed.

I'd gladly use UltraEdit, but there are still some features in TextPad that UltraEdit doesn't. Little things, like always seeming to know where to position the cursor when I hit the down arrow.

So, even though Helios' communication with users and overall support leaves much to be desired, I still use TextPad and recommend its use within my company.

If we could only combine the functionality of TextPad with the customer support of UltraEdit...
