  Notepad Rescue Lite  -  Save Unsaved Notepad Tabs, Free
==============================================================

Thanks for trying Notepad Rescue Lite!

I have found myself using notepad to save little bits of code or important information -
like a scratch pad. At the end of the day I'd be too tired to go back
and save every file one at time, so the would just pile up. Notepad
has a "Save All" option but you still have to click save a hundred times to save each one.
So I created Notepad Rescue so you can bulk save all those notepad tabs at once.

This is the free Lite edition: it finds every unsaved tab sitting in
Windows Notepad and saves up to 15 of them per scan, completely free,
with no time limit and no account needed.


--------------------------------------------------------------
  WHAT YOU NEED
--------------------------------------------------------------

- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- The modern Windows Notepad
    * Built in on Windows 11
    * Free from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10
- No installation. It is a single file: NotepadRescueLite.exe


--------------------------------------------------------------
  FIRST RUN - PLEASE READ
--------------------------------------------------------------

The very first time you open NotepadRescueLite.exe, Windows may show a
blue box that says "Windows protected your PC."

This is normal. It appears for any new app that has not paid for a
Microsoft signing certificate - it does NOT mean anything is wrong.

To run it:
    1. Click "More info"
    2. Click "Run anyway"

You will usually only see this once.


--------------------------------------------------------------
  HOW TO USE IT (3 STEPS)
--------------------------------------------------------------

1. Open NotepadRescueLite.exe and click "Scan Notepad".
   Every unsaved Notepad tab appears in the list.

2. Review the list and untick anything you do not want to keep.
   (Free saves are capped at 15 per scan - rows beyond that are
   greyed out; untick a ticked row to swap in a different one.)

3. Choose a "Save to" folder at the bottom, then click
   "Save Selected".

Done! Your notes are saved as .txt files and the folder opens.

--------------------------------------------------------------
  GOOD TO KNOW
--------------------------------------------------------------

- Notepad Rescue Lite never edits your notes and never removes
  anything from Notepad. Scanning and saving only read your tabs
  and write new .txt files.

- It works with the modern tabbed Notepad only. The old classic
  Notepad keeps no recoverable data, so there is nothing to rescue
  there.
