    @JT-Moore Current workaround for now - the relevant config.xml setting needed (just use a post-install script for it or supply a pre-configured config.xml file to your users): networkPathWarningMethod="2" which means “networkPathAlwaysLoad”. i.e. edit this line: <GUIConfig name="MISC" fileSwitcherWithoutExtColumn="no" fileSwitcherExtWidth="50" fileSwitcherWithoutPathColumn="yes" fileSwitcherPathWidth="50" fileSwitcherNoGroups="no" backSlashIsEscapeCharacterForSql="yes" writeTechnologyEngine="3" isFolderDroppedOpenFiles="no" docPeekOnTab="no" docPeekOnMap="no" sortFunctionList="no" saveDlgExtFilterToAllTypes="no" muteSounds="no" enableFoldCmdToggable="yes" hideMenuRightShortcuts="no" networkPathWarningMethod="2" isFawSymlinkAllowed="false" /> Edit: There already seems to be such a helper script (I didn’t test it myself): https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/18319#issuecomment-5508274570

    Corrupted Session Starting in Notepad++ v8.6.5, it will store session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak next to session.xml, and will automatically use that if session.xml is corrupted. However, if you ever find that you open Notepad++ (especially after an update or a system crash) and find that the files opened weren’t in the same state as when you let them, you can try this procedure: Exit Notepad++ Windows Explorer, go to %AppData%\Notepad++ (or in your appropriate config-file location if you aren’t using AppData for config) Rename session.xml to session.xml--keep Copy session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak to session.xml Run Notepad++ → If it’s now showing the right copy of your files, great! If not, exit Notepad++, delete session.xml, and rename session.xml--keep back to session.xml .

    Hello, @francisco, @gerdb42 and All, There are plenty of solutions ! The following one will ensure that the . matches newline option will not be used even it’s checked and that the Match case option is enabled even it’s not checked !

    @behrouz1 , Any time you make a change to the function list definition, you must save it, then close all instances of Notepad++, then reopen Notepad++ to force it to re-read the definition, before it will take effect. Did you do that? (And, the (?-s) change isn’t sufficient to get underline headers. You have to use the version from the link I provided earlier to get those.)

    Now the plugin supports the Dark Mode by means of “SmartMath_Dark.udl.xml” (in addition to “SmartMath.udl.xml” which is the light one) and automatically applies either light or dark one. This is achieved by listening to NPPN_DARKMODECHANGED and requesting NPPM_ISDARKMODEENABLED to understand whether the dark UDL or the bright UDL to apply. A screenshot: [image: 1788983575005-055b172d-4091-4e16-a090-23e678758707-image.jpeg] Feel free to propose better colors if you are good in that :) The UDLs are here: https://github.com/d0vgan/npp-smart-math/tree/feature/powerful-calc/Notepad%2B%2B/userDefineLangs

    I’m used to ISPF editing, using column based information. (SPFLite is a dumbed down version) I can do most of what I need in there, but N++ fills in holes in ISPF edit. For example, N++ can add, change or delete information across several lines. RegEx is available on ISPF edit, but I’m too busy to learn it. N++ does this much easier.
