    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 .

    @PeterJones I sent him an email but got no reply. Overall I’m a bit disappointed with this. I think for all his good intentions he’s allowing a strong chance of people accidentally clicking on these malware links, Got nothing more to add. Thanks.

    @Midnitecata said: @PeterJones thank you for your help, ill probably steer clear of it just out of caution, but i might look into it further should the tedious formatting inconvenience me enough to learn how to spot malicious code! thanks again!! :) Just a side note to this discussion: While you certainly can manipulate *.srt files in Notepad++ (and I do on occasion), for most purposes the free and open source program Subtitle Edit (found here on GitHub) is much easier to use. It has many functions for doing things like shifting times, identifying likely errors, and so on. Before working too hard to find a way to do something with a subtitle file in Notepad++, I recommend checking first to see if Subtitle Edit already knows how to do it.

    The syntax file can be created by means of user-defined language. But how to apply this user-defined language automatically when Smart Math is enabled for the current file/document? OK, sorted it out: call NPPM_GETNBUSERLANG first to get the number of UDLs; then iterate through all the UDLs and call GetMenuStringW; once the menu item string matches my UDL name, I’ve identified my UDL menu id; after that, call NPPM_MENUCOMMAND with the obtained UDL menu id. Here is an example withUDL applied: [image: 1788696158249-d17e9134-3e1a-4b20-b7e9-62b16dbc4eff-image.jpeg] It’s a pity that I can’t make the keyword colors (such as function colors) to be dependent on the active color theme/style. I mean, for dark color themes these keywords in blue look too dark, so the color must be changed for dark themes.

    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.
