Trouble editing different files in different archives with F4
I open an archive and edit a txt file with f4,
without closing editor,
I open another archive and edit a txt file with f4.
Both files appear opened in Notepad++. However, I receive a message that the first file I opened could not be found.
The first file I opened does not appear in the temp folder.
How can I solve this problem?

Re: Trouble editing different files in different archives with F4
Not confirmed. What I get is this:
Editing the first file opens notepad++ and TC will wait for its closure to delete the temporary file.
Editing the second file opens the file in the already running notepad++, so TC doesn't receive back a handle of the running app. Therefore it shows a message where the user has to confirm when they no longer needs the temporary file.

After opening both files from different archives for editing, I switch to another application. When I switch back to Notepad, I get a file not found error.

With my editor setting (PSPad) there is no such problem.
It behaves like Christian said.

When I tried it with PSPad, I didn't get a file not found error.
However, when I changed and saved the second file, TC didn't give an archiving warning.
The file in the archive was not change.

Not for me, both files are saved.efesreal wrote: 2025-02-10, 13:07 UTC When I tried it with PSPad, I didn't get a file not found error.

TC asks for every changed file from both archives.
For me, PSPad manages files in tabs and not with separate windows
but it also works fine when I only allow one instance.

I couldn't solve the problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

Try changing the command for the editor to:
"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -multiInst "%1"
This opens a separate Notepad++ window for each file. The benefit is that Total Commander can then track each one of them and doesn't need to show the "click to close" dialog.

This solves the problem.
I guess I won't be able to use Notepad++'s tabbed workspaces.
Thanks.
