    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, @coises, @alan-kilborn and All, I made a test : First, disable the View > Word wrap option as well as the View > Show symbol option Put the value 78, ONLY, in the Settings > Preferences... > Margins/Border/Edge > Vertical Edge Settings dialog Leave the Background mode option unchecked Then, insert this text below in a N++ new tab : iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <<< WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright (C)2021 Don HO <don.h@free.fr>.

Note : globally, the capital letter W is the largest letter in proportional fonts and the small letter i is the smallest letter in proportional fonts Now, select the 78 space characters, right before the string <<< => You can verify that the status bar contains Col:79 Sel: 78 indication Open the Settings > Style configurator... dialog and select Global Styles for Language and Default Style for Style Now, click on the drop-down list of the Font name option Use the Up and Down arrow key to select an other font => It easy to verify, in the status bar, that, whatever the font used, even exotic ones, the selection of the gap of space characters stays identical to the value 78 Now if, for any font, you select all the text of that new tab and run an Edit > Line Operations > Split Lines operation, for most of them, indeed, the spliting behaviour occured right after the 78 capital letter P. However, for eample : For the proportional Times New Roman font, the spliting action occured after 76 letters P For the fixed witdh **``Consolas font, the spliting action occured after 77 letters P Best Regards, guy038

    @ThatsYar_ , Can you share your ?-menu’s Debug Info? Does the same problem occur if you turn off all plugins (using -noPlugin command line option)? Is it for all files that need admin? Or just in one directory? Or just the one file?

    Hello, SQLinForm got another new function: the Usage Inspector. It sits right next to the Navigator I introduced a few weeks ago and answers a question I often had with inherited SQL: is this variable or column actually used anywhere, or is it dead code? [image: 1793567868168-demo_used-resized.png] What it does Hover over any word: a pop-up shows how often it is used and every line where it appears, with a few lines of context. Spot unused items quickly: a word that appears only once gets a red-orange header. A variable that is declared and never used stands out immediately. Comments don’t count: a variable that is only mentioned in a comment still shows up as unused. Strings are counted separately: a variable that is only used in dynamic SQL is not reported as dead, e.g. @CutoffDate inside EXEC sp_executesql. Click to keep and jump: click the word to keep the pop-up open, then click a line to jump to it. Your colors: the SQL is shown in the colors of your SQLinForm profile. Light and dark themes are both supported. Everything is included: it reads the whole script, also parts the Navigator tree doesn’t show, such as DECLARE. [image: 1793567894846-demo_unused-resized.png] Like the Navigator, it needs no database connection and works with every dialect the formatter supports. It just counts words and does not parse or execute anything, so please treat the result as a hint, not a proof: SET @x = 1 counts as a use, for example. You can open it with the new magnifier button in the toolbar, or with the Usage Inspector tab next to Formatter and Navigator. As before, I appreciate any suggestion or error feedback :-) [image: 1793567907664-demo_dark-resized.png]

    That’s a clever little experiment! I never really thought about using regular expressions to represent mathematical patterns like multiples of 3, but it makes sense when you look at the binary sequence. Definitely a fun way to explore just how powerful regex can be beyond ordinary text searching.
