Hi All,

I understand that the TextPad's configuration files are saved in C:Usersuser_nameAppDataRoamingHeliosTextPad8 but can we change this to somewhere else?

The reason being that i am working remotely through Citrix and the host of the C drive is different every time I log in.

Thanks in advance.

By "log in" you mean the remote Windows session? Or don't you log in to Windows and merely start the Citrix client?

Furthermore: I have no clue how you think TextPad can solve this at all. What's your proposal?

Yes, the remote Windows session.

Can we have an option to save the files somewhere else, e.g. an option in Configure>Preferences>Folders ?

an option to
And where should that option be saved? That would only work thru environmental variables, because it can't be stored in the files that TextPad yet cannot find because you want your custom folder for them.

Can it be saved in any drive that has a fix host like a shared rive ?
