Has anyone noticed that under certain conditions PsPad wrongly opens itself in a new tab? It's happened to me with many PsPad versions, including the current stable one, on Windows XP Pro SP1, SP2, SP3 English. I hope this set of steps - which at first look a bit weird - can reproduce this issue for other people.
Try this from the command line C:> CD "c:\ProgramFiles\PsPad" C:> CD .. C:> PsPad\PsPad.exe PsPad\PsPad.chm C:> PsPad\PsPad.exe PsPad\Notepad.exe The first 2 lines place you in the parent folder of PsPad's folder. The third line opens PsPad.chm in the first tab. The last line opens TWO tabs (wrong), one for PsPad.exe itself, and one for Notepad.exe. I believe the conditions to reproduce this issue are as follows: 1. PsPad must be started with a relative path, for instance PsPad\PsPad.exe or x:\some\path\..\PsPad\PsPad.exe 2. You should open files whose extensions are not associated with PsPad, that's why in the example above I open a .chm and a .exe file. Opening .txt will most likely hide this bug on most systems. 3. You must have one tab already open (.chm in the example) This issue is most annoying, it bites me many times a day, one likely scenario is if you set PsPad as the preferred editor in another programs using relative paths. I do, for instance, in TotalCommander. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,50533,50533> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
