On Focus Delay

Hello, I am using PSPad 4.5.7 (build 2450).
I can't for the life of me figure out why ...
When I return to PSPad, there is a 5 to 10 second delay before I can do anything.
It is the only app that does that on my computer (windows xp, sp3).

I am sure that it is a setting that I've missed. I have tried playing with all of the settings to figure it out but it can be frustrating at times at i go back and forth from my browser to PSPad during testing.

Any ideas ?

Do you open files from the network or some unavailable mapped dives?
When you return to PSPad, it checks file changes.
Try this:
go to program settings / Direct edit button
change to: CheckDocChanges=0

Wow, Thanks for the quick reply btw

Yes I do make changes to files over the network.

Made the change you suggested and that has hughly improved the performance.
OMG that has changed my perspective of PsPad immensely. Thank you so much !!
Wish i found this forum earlier

If you sent me mail, you'd get the answer a long time ago

i can send you mail ??? Really? How? To Where?
Send me one if you don't want to post address here.

This keeps getting better and better

As i scroll up and down within my code I at times loose track of my functions.
Is there any way to make the line that all functions are on be a different color or even the word "function" be of different color ?

Use standard PSPad support mail - menu Help / About PSPad

Did you try to use Code explorer? Menu Tools or Shift+Ctrl+E

That worked well enough, thanks very much for all of your help Jan.
I might have to hit you up again with more questions... you are very helpful and very knowledgeable.

Have an awesome week
