Crash select 'TextPad' from menu in TextPad open file dialog

Post by ionFreeman »

For some reason, I've done this like eight times in the past month, and I have to kill TextPad every time, or wait for it to crash, which can take a while.
1. Open file
2. navigate to the file you want
3. right click on it for the context sensitive menu
4. Choose 'TextPad'

TextPad is not robust to this. It's in a modal dialog, and it's a singleton, so it freezes. Nasty situation.

I know I'm doing the wrong thing. I just get distracted when I'm opening a file, and I think I'm in Explorer when I come back. If TextPad could handle this gracefully, that would be swell.
