    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 .

    I often do following steps: Open multiple files from HDD in Notepad++ and work on them. Upload the files to the server. Delete the files from my HDD while they are still open in Notepad++. Do File->Close All in Notepad++. Then I receive a prompt: “The file XYZ doesn’t exist anymore. Keep this file in editor?” To see what happens, I click “Yes.” All files get closed. There are two problems here: After asking whether to keep a file in the editor, Notepad++ closes it no matter what my answer is. After selecting “Close All” Notepad++ asks me whether to keep some deleted files open, but not all (e.g. I have four files open, all of them deleted and I get only one such question). This is not particularly annoying but I thought I would share it here because it seems there are some flaws in the application logic.

    @andrecool-68 said: All the mark of the web looks okay, and all the files are in the right place. I am not sure why it’s not working for you. With a similar installation, but 64-bit, I have no problems with Plugins Admin Admin mode: ON Can you try running not as administrator. That can sometimes mess up permissions, so maybe for some strange reason, your Admin has been denied privilege on one or more of the DLL or EXE files mentioned? installing the 64-bit 8.9.8 on that machine, instead of 32-bit, and see if it behaves the same? confirm that you don’t have this problem with v8.9.7 on the same setup First few experiments on my end: 8.9.8-64bit, non-Admin: my daily driver, and I use Plugins Admin frequently: [image: 1789590084696-dc568790-b6ce-4a3c-aaaa-422d9f5937c8-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-64bit, Admin: [image: 1789589967329-aeeef823-c099-463b-b884-00b51add713b-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-32bit, Not Admin: [image: 1789589989950-e94d8be8-7ade-4530-8536-01033d4d4e35-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-32bit, Admin: [image: 1789590011468-5247e7c8-2097-41fe-ad98-0ed554c34815-image.jpeg] So, so far, on my Win 11 machine, I cannot replicate with 64-bit or 32-bit, admin or no, with the portable (or the installed, for 8.9.8-64) Update Virtual Win 10 machine: Portable 32-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Portable 64-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Installed 64-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Installed 32-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin [image: 1789591116798-5959e708-0015-4e87-8f3a-50f4928df7b7-image.jpeg]Notepad++ v8.9.8 (32-bit) Build time: Aug 23 2026 - 17:20:01 Scintilla/Lexilla included: 5.6.6/5.5.3 Boost Regex included: 1_90 pugixml included: 1.16 nlohmann JSON included: 3.12.0 Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Command Line: Admin mode: ON Local Conf mode: OFF Cloud Config: OFF WinGUp: present disableNppAutoUpdate.xml: absent Periodic Backup: ON Placeholders: OFF Scintilla Rendering Mode: SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE (1) Multi-instance Mode: monoInst asNotepad: OFF File Status Auto-Detection: cdEnabledNew (for current file/tab only) Dark Mode: OFF Display Info: primary monitor: 1024x666, scaling 100% visible monitors count: 1 installed Display Class adapters: 0000: Description - VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (WDDM) 0000: DriverVersion - 7.1.8.18469 OS Name: Windows 10 Home (64-bit) OS Version: 22H2 OS Build: 19045.5854 Current ANSI codepage: 1252 Plugins: mimeTools (3.1) NppConverter (4.7) NppExport (0.4) I tried to get as close to your setup as I possibly can, and I still cannot replicate your problem.

    Hello, @coises, You said : What happens when you uncheck one or both of those settings is that the commands with default scope: and : Commands that specify a scope, like Count in Selection or Count in Marked Text, still do what their name says they do. Thus, before downloading your new Search++ version 0.7 release, I ran a few more tests, and honestly, I was wrong about that. It’s kind of like I’m rediscovering the true concept of your default scope !! So when, BOTH, the Default commands automatically search within selections and the Default commands automatically search within marked text options are unchecked, in Settings : The default Find action is identical to the Find in Whole document action The default Count action is identical to the Count in Whole document action The default Find all action is identical to the Find All in Whole Document action The default Select action is identical to the Select in Whole Document action The default Mark action is identical to the Mark in Whole Document action The default Show action is identical to the Show in Whole Document action The default Replace action is identical to the Replace in Whole Document action The default Replace all action is identical to the Replace All in Whole Document action Now, many thanks, @coises, for this new release ! Indeed, the Show feature has been completely redesigned and the addition of a separate style, different from the Mark feature is a good improvement ! However, I needed some time to understand what meant the option Show selected lines (Shift: All)    Ctrl + Q, in the Tools dialog ! Luckily, with the Search++ documentation, I understood the difference between Ctrl + Q and Ctrl + Shift + Q Would it be more simple to write the two lines : Show selected lines Ctrl + Q Show all lines Ctrl + Shift + Q Instead of that single line ( which sometimes seems wrongly labelled Show all lines    Ctrl + Q ) ?! Your new Expand visible    Ctrl P, in the Tools menu, is really a nice feature. I would suggest to label this option Show one more line before and after as this command can be repeated ! BTW, do you plan to add, in the future, such a feature to the Find All functionality ? Now, let’s say that I marked 15 occurrences of some text. As I checked the Bookmark lines when marking text option, I got 15 blue marks. If I use your new Invert marked text, all non-marked text get marked and all marked text becomes unmarked : OK However, the bookmarks do NOT follow this new marked text. In addition, may be the option Invert marked Lines would be more interesting ! Or, possibly, the two options ? Best Regards, guy038
