I'm using Total Commander in Windows XP, instead of windows explorer. In TC I've set NPP as default text editor. Now, if I want to create a new file in TC (Shift-F4), NPP starts with a question that file does not exists and if I want it to be created. So far, so good. I proceed with "yes" to create new file and NPP opens with new tab, named after just created file, along with other tabs (files that I've opened before). So far, so good. Than, I add some text and click "Save" (whatever, save icon or as menu command). File change indicator turns off, as file is saved and I close NPP. So far, everything seems to be ok. Now the bug: when I check just saved file on disk, I see it's size is 0 bytes. If i reopen it, it's empty. So, file was not saved properly. I've reproduced this bug many times. This bug shows only when creating new file in TC (with Shift-F4). If I edit existing file (F4), it works ok.
Best regards and thank you for your hard work,

The same thing is happening for me. Exactly the same setup. And it actually drives me nuts. I'm loosing a lot of files I create, if I'm forgetting to edit that new empty file again.
My observation is that sometimes the file gets created in some other directory, then it was meant to be. So may be there is something wrong with passing file names or something...
