When I have the Explorer view open and open textpad, it appears to hang while Textpad is populating that frame. I have a massive number of mapped drives and a large network.

Is there any way to multithread this in such a way as too not do this.

I get hangs with Textpad 5 too... :-(

I've uninstalled Textpad 5 & reverted to 4.73, since my PC was hanging after installing it when running TP. It happened on 2 different XP SP2 systems.... Is this a reincarnation of the workaround implemented previously?

Does anyone have any idea of what is causing it?

I've the same problem: TextPad 5.0 hangs for several minutes when the Dockable File Explorer is selected. OS is Windows 2000.

Textpad5 hangs when explorer is selected from the view menu

Textpad5 hangs when explorer is selected from the view menu or from the docable windows.
I was very interested to load my local drives in exolorer and can easy load the files in to textpad. but i am dissapointed when it hangs.
I tried to uninstall and install several times, but it just waste of time.
Please let me know, if you have fix/workaroound for this.

Hi Text pad users,

Cheers,
amr

I am also experiencing this problem. Too bad to, I was happy to have this feature.

Just as an FYI, this improved significantly for me when I switched the 'start up' path in 'Preferences' -> 'Folders', to something local as opposed to a network drive.

Less than ideal, but at least it's usable.
