    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 tend to have a lot of 150mb text files open at any given time. Multiple versions, flavors, etc. I basically only ever do Find all in Current Document. Since the Find all in All Openened Documents button is right next to it, I sometimes accidentally hit it and then get stuck waiting ages for it to search all the files, especially if it’s a complex regex. Is there any way for me to disable the button? Or even have a popup after pressing that asks if I’m sure I want to do that? Even when I need to look at another file for the same thing, it’s usually 1 or two other files, not 10+, so it’s easier to go document by document.

    @Vitalii-Dovgan , I don’t think the Plugins Admin will be able to do all of that on its own. The DLL needs to be at the top level of the zipfile. What you could do is to have your plugin intialization look for the autoCompletion and userDefineLangs files in the appropriate locations (use NPPM_GETNPPSETTINGSDIRPATH to make sure you put the UDL in the right per-user place, regardless of doLocalConf, -settingsDir, CloudDirectory, or normal AppData; autoCompletion always goes relative to NPPM_GETNPPDIRECTORY – and for any that are missing, copy from ...\plugins\SmartMath\ subfolder(s) into the right destinations. A possible zipfile structure could be: SmartMath.dll doc\ SmartMath.md autoCompletion\ SmartMath.xml userDefineLangs\ SmartMath.udl.xml SmartMath_Dark.udl.xml That would all get placed in ...\plugins\SmartMath\ Because autoCompletion definitions are in the program directory hierarchy, there may be a permission issue, so you’d have to request elevated permission to do that copy; examples of how I did that can be found in my ConfigUpdater plugin. (The plugin itself is not so useful, since I moved that feature to N++ itself, but some of the code is still useful reference.)
