I have searched and not found this question so ..

After a Search/Results is there any way to save off the results and then reactivate them? Specifc search is on a group of some 1500 files and really don't want to go through the search a second, third etc.

But want to be able to DClick and have it open the correct file.

Any ideas

thanks

My initial thought was "What about not closing the search results window?" But I decided you probably meant something like saving your search results so you can close TP and reopen at a later time with your search intact, yes? AFAIK, that functionality does not exist. You're welcome to create a 5 choice poll in the Enhancement suggestion to try and get it in as a new feature.

If Search results were bookmarked, then save all files in a WorkSpace.

The WorkSpace will save bookmarks, so you can find them the next time you open the WorkSpace.

You can save the Search Results as a Workspace (.tws) file from the File menu. The next time you open this file, you can double click on a line and open the relevant file in TextPad.

Thanks .. worked great

Is this working in 4.7.3?

I have done a FindInFiles and have the search results window open.

I then File/Workspace/Save and enter a name

I then close TP, reopen, file/workspace/open and the heading comes up as
'Search Results - TextPad' but there is no search results window.

what am i missing

does this work for anyone else under the current release?

Yes. I have dozens of workspaces (Blimey! 63, it seems, at the moment), and I usually have several open at the same time. Quite often I close a workspace while the search results window is open in it, and it's always still there when I open the workspace again.
