Using "Open..." to open a non-existing file, doesn't create it when requested to do so.

Post by kikosoft2 »

When I use "File > Open...", and type in an non-existent file name, I get a question: "C:\.....<path to file>..... This file doesn't exist. Create the file?". When answered with "Yes", nothing is created and the "Open File(s)" window closes. I also tested the "No" option, and, as expected, nothing happens, but the "Open File(s)" window stays open.

This doesn't stop me using TP, but it would be nice if it worked.

Extra info: I use TP 9.9.6 (64bit) Intel on Windows 11 in dark mode.

I develop software myself so I know how these things slip in. :shock:

Doesn't help you, but I get a different message.

Regardless of whether I use File, Open or the Open button on the toolbar, I see the message:

File not found.

Check the file name and try again.
