Scratchpad Changelog

What's new in Scratchpad 7

Jun 30, 2013
  • Scratchpad now refreshes your active file upon unhiding, if it detects that the version on-disk is newer than the version you currently have open.
  • Added a confirmation box if you are trying to save an older Scratchpad version of the active file on top of a newer on-disk version.

New in Scratchpad 6 (Jun 30, 2013)

  • Added a Start minimised checkbox to the GUI.
  • Ctrl+S now attempts to silently save your active file, instead of popping a Save dialog every time.

  • Window titlebar now indicates whether your file is unsaved since your last edit.

New in Scratchpad 5 (Jun 30, 2013)

  • Option to autosave the current file when Scratchpad closes (also makes a backup).

  • You can define a custom show/hide hotkey, as some users reported Win+S conflicts with other software they were using.
  • Scratchpad remembers its screen position from your last session.
  • Ctrl+N makes a new file from the template. There’s also a ’New’ button on the GUI.
  • There’s a Help button (?) in the bottom-right that tells you shortcuts and version.
