I'm a new user of textpad and I'm a big fan. One item that I would love to see is some sort of visual indication on either the file tab or the window title (or both hopefull) indicating that the file open is read-only. I'm using this for php files that are checked into source control and I'm constantly forgetting to check out the files before trying to edit them. The indication could be as simple as a * after the filename or maybe a (r/o). This would be really nice. Thanks in advance.

Make sure the status bar is visible: View | Status Bar. Look at the right-hand end of the status bar, where it says
| Read | Ovr | Block | Sync | Rec | Caps |
If Read is black rather than grey, the file is read-only.
