I found a (new ?) text editor at www.textpad.com and, guess what, it's called ... TextPad. It can easily edit huge Poser CR2, as well as EditPad does, but TextPad doesn't play with TrayIcon nor with notepad's icons (as it did to me) and i find it more professionel. There are many options and several languages available for the menus among which : english, french, german, dutch, spanish, italian, portuguese, ... It's really a cute and efficient tool. But ... It's a shareware.

Well, that means if you like it and use it, you should pay for it. Seems fair enough to me. :-) I remember TextPad has a really good search facility, including the ability to search multiple documents.

Both editor are similar, it's just a matter of choice I recognize EditPad is a good text editor but i really dislike some features like loading in memory when called (in the tray icon) and the fact that is removed my Notepad association and icon. And when i close EditPad why sould it stay in the TrayIcon, should Poser do this too, and Word and Excel ? This is not Windows programming. This to say EditPad in itself is still a good text editor but i want Windows safe app on my hard disk.

I have been using it since version 3.11 (about a 2 years now) and i LOVE it ...i can edit all my ASP, HTM JScript and such stuff..plus can look thru all the EXE files and it supports UNIX format which is very handy whene working with CGI/PERL stuff..
