Why can't my saved file be found when I try to compile?
Exactly as in title; having saved a file, I click to compile and Textpad cannot locate the file even though it is staring me in the face on the screen and I can manually find it ie at My Documents. It is happy to run the program with an exception in main thread. Please help! Nadya

Re: Why can't my saved file be found when I try to compile?
2 possibilities:
1. You working directory is off. Make sure you have it set properly under:
Configure-->Preferences-->Tools-->Compile Java
It needs to point to the directory your .class file is in, UNLESS you're using packages, in which case it nees to point X directories higher, where X is the number of package levels you use.
2. Alternatively, TextPad and/or javac might be having trouble with path tokens that have spaces in them. Try changing the working directory so that it doesn't involve a path token like: \My Documents\, which contains spaces in the directory name.
