Text Pad 5 Hex Viewer

Post by anshumanhc »

Is there any way, that text pad will open all the files, except the registered files in the Hex Editor. For example i have a file with .XXX extension. I want that whenever, i open this file from Context Menu with textpad; by default, it should open in the Hex Editor. Please suggest me the way for this. Thanks

Textpad comes with a pre-defined document class for binary files - surprisingly it has the name "Binary".

You can add to the list of member files:

Configure - Preferences - Document Classes,
Click on Binary (not on the + next to it).

On the righthand side you now have a list of wildcard expressions for file names. Below are buttons "New" and "Delete".

Click on "New" and then enter the expression you want.

Now check for all the document classes below "Binary" whether they contain wildcard expressions that might catch your file, if so, change (doubleclick onto it) or delete (click on it, then click on delete button) them.
