General page
(edit) Settings dialog/General
Use multi-level Undo/Redo
Template:Specific The Use multi-level Undo/Redo turns on/off the multi-level Undo/Redo feature. See chapter RichEdit clone.
Clear Undo buffer upon Save
Template:Specific The Clear Undo buffer upon Save specifies whether to forget all multi-level actions upon the Save operation. The last action remains remembered anyway. This option has no effect when Use multi-level Undo/Redo option is turned off. See chapter RichEdit clone.
Automatic detection of URLs
Template:Specific The Automatic detection of URLs specifies whether URLs are to be detected and highlighted in the document. Note: It may be necessary to reload somehow the text of the document after applying of the settings/options to get the autodetection fully working. This is because only loaded or somehow modified text is searched for URLs and each apply of the settings/options may discard all previously found links. See chapter RichEdit clone.
Use doubleclick to launch URLs
Template:Specific The Use doubleclick to launch URLs specifies whether a doubleclick or a single click on an auto-detected URL is required to launch it in a default internet browser. See chapter RichEdit clone.
File page
Default encoding
The Default encoding specifies a default file encoding that should be used for new documents. Supported encodings are ANSI, both Unicodes and UTF-8.
Note: See chapter Managing documents for more informations about these file encodings, their usage, advantages and also their pitfalls.
Default newlines
The Allow UNIX/Mac newlines support specifies whether the transparent UNIX/Mac newlines
support is to be available.
See chapter Managing documents for more details about transparent newlines
support.
Open/Save dialog filters
The Open/Save dialog filters defines filters, that are to be used in the Open/Save dialogs as file filters. They appear in a combo-box, usually bellow the file name box. Such a filter consists of two strings
separated by a Pipe character.
The first string
in a filter is a name to be displayed that describes the filter (e.g. Text Files). The second one specifies the filtering pattern (e.g. *.txt). Therefore a filter for text files would look like this: Text Files or maybe even like this: Text Files (*.txt).
To specify multiple filtering patterns for a single filter, use a semicolon to separate the patterns (e.g. *.txt;*.doc;*.bak). A filtering pattern can be a combination of valid filename characters and an asterisk wildcard character. Do not include spaces in the pattern string.
Several filters are to be delimited also by a Pipe character. Therefore this Open/Save Dialog Filters value should eventually consist of pairs of strings
delimited by Pipes. Each pair defines one filter: a name and its filtering pattern.
Default file extension
The Use default file extension, if missing setting specifies whether the Save As dialog should always append a default extension to a file name when no extension is specified by user. The default extension may not exceed 4 characters.
Default extension for plain-text documents is usually txt, but some users may choose to override this and use another value. E.g. Use html, if you creat more HTML documents than simple text files.
Favourites page
See chapter Favourites for any details.
Filters page
See chapter Text Filters for any details.
Settings page
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 on every exit
The Save settings on every exit 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 settings:{{{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 settings:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button. The settings will be saved. Then uncheck this Save settings on exit checkbox and click the [[Control:Button:Save checked settings:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] button again. From now on no new settings will ever be saved.
Save window position
The Save 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.

Save window size
The Save 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.
Save basic options
The Save 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.
Save actual search
The Save 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.
Save settings
The Save 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.
Save Filters
The Save Filters category specifies whether the Filters are to be saved. The Filters are saved only when they have been modified.
Save phrases from tools
The Save phrases from tools category specifies whether phrases and also some options from the dialogs of tools are to be saved.
Save Extended Clipboards
The Save Extended 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 settings
The [[Control:Button:Save checked settings:{{{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.
