Hi,
I'm a paid-and-registered user of TextPad, and I LOVE it. However, there is one feature I wish it had...
While using UltraEdit at work (we have a license for everyone in my department), I noticed that UltraEdit can capture the output (for example, compiling) in a "List-Box" window/screen at the bottom. While I still prefer Textpad over UltraEdit, I think this feature is pretty cool.
At home, I stick with Textpad, but I must say that the advanced output capture is quite nice.

Re: Feature Request - Advanced Output Capture
That's funny because I switched from UltraEdit to TextPad because I think TextPad handles its output window better than UltraEdit.
For example you can define a regular expression for each (!) tool. By that you can specify what the file and line are so that you can jump to them by simply pressing return. When I left UltraEdit you could only define a regexp for the output window regardless what tool you called. That might have changed.
I have several tools in TextPad. Some make-scripts and fgrep tools (for ctags) and the output is captured just fine. In rare cases a tool might not work when called inside TextPad (I have one written in Pearl90).
Explore the possibilities of the user defined tools. Boldly click where noone has clicked before.
