    @minneyb-unix Maybe an antivirus or similar problem. Yesterday, I had some false-positives even while trying to download N++ GitHub artifacts. I checked these "notepad++.exe"s via VirusTotal and these were flagged (only by the MS own Defender engine). Now it’s ok, so I’d try again.

    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.

    @Jason-Wright said: @donho none of these are my issue; now remove the find in files feature. its a waste of time. The feature is not a waste of time. I have used that feature for more than a decade. It would be a waste of time to spend time to remove it (and be a huge annoyance to people to have relied on it for more than a decade). Now, if you mean, you don’t care about that feature, that’s fine. But why would you want it removed? If you mean, you are having difficulty using it, and would like help, then @donho pointed you to my post, which list a few debugging techniques which would help us help you. I will reiterate them: Try with all plugins disabled, to make sure it’s not a plugin issue share ?-menu’s Debug Info share your FIND WHAT (use ` before and after your search, like `my.*search` , so that the Forum doesn’t “eat” your search characters as post-formatting) share all the options in the Find in Files dialog (Filters, Directory, Search Mode, other checkboxes – a screenshot would be easiest) does your directory contain *.lnk to files or other directories? or windows junctions or symlinks or hardlinks? So if you’d like help with it, feel free to provide actual information. If you don’t want help, that’s fine. also why the !@$!#@$ does your website need a clout system??? The reputation system prevents spammers from flooding this forum with links to their ad farms. The minimum reputation to upvote or downvote will keep spammers from creating multple accounts to be able to upvote themselves, so that they can get around the posting limits for users with low reputation. [image of “You need 5 reputation to downvote”] Also, there is irony in someone complaining about a reputation system because they didn’t have enough reputation to use the reputation system to dowvote. this site sounds like it was designed by an @#$@#$#@$ tiktok kid oh my god Notepad++ moved to a NodeBB-based forum in 2015. TikTok was created in 2016. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good rant. why the @#$@@#$ isnt @$@#$@ funny site sounds like it was designed by an @#$#@$# tiktok kid There’s a whole section devoted to those who just want to whine and curse, and not actively discuss and/or seek help. If you actually want help, and meaningful discussion, feel free to reply here. If all you want to do is curse and whine, create a topic in that section, or go find something more productive to do with your time.

    Hello, @coises, I tested your valuable Compose plugin. This plugin is really easy to use : First, define a Compose key ( Hit the Compose key twice in order to write the character itself ) Then, open the help file and choose any character to insert from the huge list of available characters ! Now, hit the Compose key, first Hit the appropriate sequence of chars in order to display a specific character, which is not avalable, by default, on your keyboard ! You may define your own characters in a user definition file and also define blocks of text like "Mum Adr" : "8 Ashton Avenue\r\nLinden\r\nNJ 07036 USA" @coises, I wrote all the interesting sequences to use, with a French keyboard, in the Main_Compose.txt file. You can download this file, just for information, from my Google Drive account : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_twecFVI_hkIPSg86_aNDE5NPE18fqyE/view?usp=sharing Note that all the characters directly got, on a French keyboard, are not included this list, of course ! ) Best Regards guy038
