BUG: Find in Files ignores Binary files checkbox

Post by MudGuard »

Hi,

using Textpad 8.1.1 and 8.2.0, when using Find in Files with
In Files *.*
[x] Search Subfolders
[ ] Binary Files
I get warnings in *.exe files - I checked, *.exe is in the Binary Document Class, so it should not be searched at all.

Unfortunately, the warnings go still to the search window instead of the tool output window thus hiding the few search hits between lots of warnings.

(this was promised to be in the next upgrade - see https://textpad.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=43321#43321, but isn't fixed in 8.2.0 ...)

Ok, the number of warnigs is reduced in 8.2.0 for the same search, but that is due to the line length limit increase from 64 to 1024 kb.
