I have noticed with Windows 7 64-bit that when I try to save files using PSPad into certain directories (like inside Program Files), I get a permissions error. That's OK, I'm not complaining about that. I save to the desktop and then drag from the desktop to the right directory. When I move the file from the desktop to the "Program Files" subdirectory, Windows 7 will tell me only administrators can do that, I click "confirm", and the file is moved.
I only mention this because a file that I had tried to save into a "Program Files" subdirectory with PSPad is now acting strangely. I tried to save it inside a "Program Files" subdirectory using PSPad, got an error, so instead I saved it to the desktop using PSPad, and then in Windows Explorer dragged it from the desktop to the correct location inside "Program Files". Now, when I open the file, PSPad is doing something unexpected. ---------------------------- Test 1: I have a file named C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\ContentsXML\inventory.xml If I open it with Notepad, I see 13 lines of text. If I open it with PSPad (right-click on the filename and choose PSPad from the right-click menu), I see 15 lines of text! The contents are not the same than what Notepad shows me! ---------------------------- Test 2: I rename the file. Old name: C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\ContentsXML\inventory.xml New name: C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\ContentsXML\inventory2.xml (only difference is an extra "2" at the end of the filename. When I rename the file, Windows 7 tells me "you have to an administrator", I click on "Confirm". Now I open inventory2.xml If I open it with Notepad, I see 13 lines of text. If I open it with PSPad, I see 13 lines of text! Now it is showing me the same as Notepad. After I renamed the file in Windows Explorer, PSPad showed me different file contents when I opened it. ---------------------------- How can this happen? Am I crazy?
