Someone must know this but can anyone help me with the following please

  1. When I open a folder I want the default format to be ‘Details’ and not list!!!! (ie sorted by time modified desc)

  2. When I have a doc open I want to be able to see the folder that the doc is contained inside of in the explorer window within TextPad. I use the explorer window but I cannot find a way to get the explorer to navigate to the folder that the document is inside of!!

  3. XML formatting – I ve tried addin and they were useless – All I want is decent XML syntax like VS2005 + formatting capability… Why is this not present!!

    I used to use TextPad all the time. It’s a very good text editor, but it’s lacking some of the features that you want.

    I personally think you’ll like Notepad++ a lot better. It’s free and open source. Also if you download the plugin for XML Support you will get lots of features for XML editing like:

    • XML syntax Check
    • XML Schema (XSD) + DTD Validation
    • XML tag autoclose
    • Pretty print
    • Linearize XML
    • Current XML Path
    • Conversion XML <-> Text
    • Comment / Uncomment
    • XPath expression evaluation
