Some of you may be aware that I post my custom
TextPad Clip Libraries, as well as Syntax Definition files, up on my
downloads site. I've had a few people e-mail me about a nagging issue where they download the files, drop them into the "
%ProgramFiles%\TextPad 5\Samples" folder, but do not see the version number change in the Clip Libraries side bar heading (click the "
_ About (x.x)" clip item.
The reason for this is that the Clip Libraries are copied into the folder path "
%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Helios\TextPad\5.0", so that comply with Microsoft's Windows 7 compatibility guidelines (makes the files manageable by non-administrator users).
A quick way to update the Clip Library file is to right-click on the the name, on the drop-down button at the top of the Clip Library panel, and select "
Edit book".
This will open the .TCL (TextPad Clip Library) file in the main editor panel. Then you can open the updated version, select all (CTRL+A), and copy (CTRL+C), and then select all in the destination copy and paste over it (CTRL+V) before saving the changes (CTRL+S). To see the updated results, simply select a different Clip Library and then select the updated one again (toggle away from it temporarily). That will force it to reload from the updated copy.
