    @PeterJones said: Hopefully, it’s just that it used to point to local config but is now AppData, or similar. As a scoop user myself, I can confirm that it will configure Notepad++ for portable usage by default.¹ Removing the magic doLocalConf.xml file at %USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\notepadplusplus\current is probably all that’s needed. ¹ This is one setting that’s not preserved during an upgrade (the other being the autoCompletion folder), while the contents of ${NPP_INSTALLATION_ROOT}\{backup,cloud,plugins,themes,userDefineLangs} are kept in sync by means of junctions between the canonical current folder and the versioned one. Someone should open an issue in the scoop repository, I just haven’t found the free time yet.

    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 .

    @rdipardo , I got a statement of sorts in regard to this request, specifically, this comment: Using AI to create a PR for an open source project - is it a good thing or a bad thing? I have no judgement on that. For me, the only criterion that matters is whether the merged code will be maintainable in the future. On this point, I have to say that AI-generated PRs (I can usually tell during code review), often do not meet the critera in their current state - but many human devs don’t either.

    @guy038 said: And ultimately, given the chosen options, the only differences are : When you mark something, it automatically bookmarks the associated line When you unmark something, it automatically removes the bookmark of the associated line Yes, that is one of the changes from 0.7.0.1 to 0.7.0.2, that Invert and Synchronize (previously commands, now sub-menus of commands) are no longer affected by the Configure bookmarks settings at all. That made it sensible to put all the settings under Bookmark lines when marking text. and disable them when that option is unchecked.
