  • Windows Vista 11 annoyances, "notepad".

    From Nomen Nescio@nobody@dizum.com to alt.comp.os.windows-10, alt.comp.os.windows-11, alt.computer.workshop, alt.privacy.anon-server on Thu Jan 8 09:41:10 2026

    Out of nowhere today, notepad decides that the save folder view must be "grouped" like the Windows Download folder with the stupid fucking date sorting and grouping.

    What a stupid idea.

    I wondered if notepad's save dialog would take hints from the most
    recent explorer view options, so I changed explorer to sort and group by
    date modified.

    notepad did not pay an attention to this, so I can't reproduce what you
    claim, even if I want to ...

    That won't fix it, although it's superior to notepad in every way.

    If you frequently download and save files to different locations, you
    might run into it if the last d/l folder was downloads and you select a
    folder on a file share. For me it happens when I get in a hurry using a touchpad vs mouse.

    Easily reproduced, sometimes by accident if you save in many different
    folders frequently. The culprit is explorer, not notepad.

    Here's how you fix it.

    Next time you use notepad (Or some other prog), when you save or save as,
    and it's "grouping", right-click any open space (May take several tries
    for the right spot), Group by, (none), it clears and looks normal again.

    Disable that stupid POS Copilot.

    i think there might be a firefox addon that can bind shortcuts to
    specific location saves or like provide a dropdown of custom
    added locations.
