Settings page

You see work in progress here; this section already reflects future TED Notepad version 5.2.0.2.
This section may contain incomplete, premature, or mistaken information, prone to change without notice.

This page offers a place to specify, which categories of options and settings are to be saved upon every exit, so they outlast to the next time, TED Notepad is started.

If none of these categories is ever saved, TED Notepad will always be running with the default or preset values. If these categories are saved only once, directly after configuring TED Notepad to your specific needs, TED Notepad will always start with such desired configuration. See below.

Furthermore, if these categories are saved upon every exit, TED Notepad always starts the same way it was closed for the last time. This is the default behavior.

Note, that these settings are not shared between two running instances of TED Notepad. Therefore, if you change the word wrapping in one window, the other one will remain unchanged. That is usually desired. However, if you add a new favourite in one window, it will not be present immediately in the second window. You will have to save the settings of the first window (e.g. by closing it, which will save all the favourites). Then you will have to re-open the second window, to reload the settings.

Note: To store the settings more portably, see chapter Portable INI file.

Save settings

The Save settings option specifies whether any options/settings should be saved at all. Saved options/settings are automatically loaded when TED Notepad is runned next time. If this option is not checked, the settings are not saved upon any exit, therefore, they remain the same as they were before.

If you want the settings never to be saved and never to be loaded, uncheck this option the very first time you run TED Notepad and click the [[Control:Button:Save checked:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button. From now on no other settings will then be saved anymore as well as they have never been before - nothing to load the next time TED Notepad is started.

Note: The technique above will actually save one setting, saying not to save any other settings. To prevent TED Notepad completely from saving any settings, use /nl and /ns command line parameters. See chapter Command line parameters.

If you want to preset the settings once and then have them all the same every time you start TED Notepad, make the changes and then click the [[Control:Button:Save checked:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button. The settings will be saved. Then uncheck this Save settings checkbox and click the [[Control:Button:Save checked:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button again. From now on no new settings will ever be saved.

Window position

The Window position specifies whether the main window's position is to be saved. If saved, the next time TED Notepad is started, it will appear on the same position as before. Turning this option on is not recommended much. See notes below for details.

Troubleshooting note: If you are using two displays/monitors, you may simply choose to place TED Notepad on the second display. However, when you disconnect one of those displays later and run TED Notepad, its window will be opened on the missing display and will become quite invisible. It may be quite tricky to move it back into viewable area. Therefore, be careful about this setting. A lot of users already get their window lost this way.

Window size

The Window size specifies whether the main window's size is to be saved. If saved, the next time TED Notepad is started, its size will be the same as before. Otherwise, it depends on the system, how big the window will be.

Basic options

The Basic options category specifies whether basic options from the Options menu are to be saved. These are the switches that are usually touched a lot according to specific types of documents and/or the type of usage. Especially, the Word Wrap option, the Status Bar visibility option, the Stay on Top and the Fixed-width Font options belong to this category.

Actual search

The Actual search category specifies whether the searches are to be saved. There are two searches, the primary one with the Find/Replace dialogs and the secondary one.

Note: The Extended Replace tool is not included within this category, although it is also a searching mechanism.

Settings

The Settings category specifies whether the settings from the Settings dialog are to be saved. These are the settings that are usually not modified a lot.

Note: This category actually archs over the saving of nearly all the settings in the Settings dialog. However, note, that Favourites and Filters are treated as separate categories.

Filters

The Filters category specifies whether the Filters are to be saved. The Filters are saved only when they have been modified.

Tools

The Tools category specifies whether phrases and also some options from the dialogs of tools are to be saved.

Clipboards

The Clipboards category specifies whether content of the Extended Clipboards is to be saved. See chapter Clipboards menu for more details about the Extended Clipboards.

Save checked

The [[Control:Button:Save checked:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button saves all current settings according to the check boxes above, exactly as they would be saved upon exit.

Note: This button is disabled, if /ns command line parameter takes place. See chapter Command line parameters for more details.

Restore defaults

The [[Control:Button:Restore defaults:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button restores all options/settings to their default values as if no options/settings were ever loaded and/or modified. Note, that if you restore all options/settings, but choose not to save them, they will not remain restored next time TED Notepad is launched.

Note: There are two options that may not be restored this way: window position and window size.
