Document properties are not saved

[ollie2308]

Running TextPad9.8.1

If I change the tab values in document properties, save the file, close TextPad, reopen TextPad and then open the document, the tab values revert back to the document class values. The file is a .txt file

I've tried this within a workspace as well ... changed the document properties, then saved the workspace, then saved the file.. On next file open, the tab values revert back to the doc class values.

It is my understanding that document properties overrule document class properties..

I have checked my Config xml files and my tws file, all have date/times of my last save.

Where are individual document properties saved ?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, but...

Where are individual document properties saved ?

Nowhere - they're only temporary, since neither text files could carry such information, nor TextPad does store individual file's properties.

The help explains this at How to... > Customize Settings > Document Properties:

Individual document settings are only persistent for documents that are open at the time a workspace is saved.
...
Note that after any property has been changed, all properties on the dialog box are then independent of those defined for the document class, but initialized to the same values. The only way to revert to using the document class properties is to close and reopen the document.

In case it's relevant, .editorconfig files override everything else, when enabled on Configure » Preferences » Editor.
