Hi Jan, I've been using PSPad for at least 15 years and I love this IDE. I have tried other paid commercial IDEs and I keep coming back to PSPad. The only reason I have even considered using another IDE is because PSPad crashes continually. The issue for me is that I can't be developing and lose my work when it decides to take a dump.
PSPad ran flawlessly on XP, then I noticed the crashing started with Windows 7. Now I'm on Windows 10 and PSPad will crash at least 5-8 times in a 8 hour period. I just had it crash, and on its way out, it corrupted the file. I had a backup so not a biggie. I always use the 64 bit, zipped version. I even tried the 32 bit version hoping that might make a difference but it's still crashing. If it's any help, I notice that the IDE will crash within minutes of working with a plain text file. I usually work with PHP and those files crash a lot too, but not as much as the plain text files do. Is there anything I can do or try to get PSPad stabilized so it won't crash so much? -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,77914,77914> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
