version 9, problem opening multiple files

I'm using TextPad 9.0.1 on Windows 11.

When I go to the "File" menu, select "Open....", and select multiple files, TextPad will only open up to 10 files. It then also opens one empty file with half a file name. This empty file is actually created on the hard disk.

Can anyone else here reproduce this problem?

I already had this problem in version 9.0.0.

There is a way around it: Open a normal Windows file explorer, select the files there, and drop them on TextPad. Works like a charm.

The "Open All" from the local menu in the search results can also open many files without any problem.

Yes; same scenario here.

Same here (with windows 10 and 9.0.1), but I managed to open 15 files with short(ish) names. Seems to be dependant on total length of file names.

I think you're correct about total length of file names.

I was only able to open six files with, admittedly, long file names.

This problem was resolved in version 9.1.
