    Hello, @donho and All, Many thanks for this new release ! Point 9 ( option to change dialog font and size ). I particularly like it : I’m getting old and my eyes too ! Thus, I’ll probably need it in the near future ! Point 10 and 11 are useful and I immediately adopted the UP location for Incremental Search ! Point 20 will certainly help some users, using UDL languages Point 21 help us to get a better control upon the current N++ session Point 26 will return more accurate results in counting or marking the regex occurrences Now, I did a test with my portable N++ v8.9.9 x64 bits installation, in order to test the point 8 : Improve Find in Files performance. The search, within an USB key, for the string Fi, with the match case and regex options, on all sub-folders returns 25,587 hits in 641 files of 1,149 files searched, for either : Notepad++, in 1 m 26 s Multi-replace, in 1 m 06 s Search++, in 2 m 10 s Comparing with a previous identical test with N++ v8.9.8 in this post, I deduced that, for a very similar number of files, the N++ search took roughly 9 / 10 seconds less. So, a significant improvement ! Best Regards, guy038

    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 .

    @guy038 said: Oh, my God : I forgot to test with If you are interested in such things, you’ll find some very curious results using proportional fonts. When Vertical Edge Settings: Background mode is checked, the highlighting for overlong lines is based on counting characters; when it is not checked, the edge position is (or positions are) based on the width of a space in the default font. (You can see the difference by having a file with sufficiently long lines open, setting a proportional font, then opening Preferences to the Margin/Border/Edge panel, setting a single vertical edge, and toggling Background mode.) The Notepad++ Split Lines command bases its division on the width of a capital “P” in the default font multiplied by the (last) edge column, and hence doesn’t match either. Scintilla sets edge markers based on columns (counting in background mode, using the width of a space character otherwise), so there isn’t a lot Notepad++ can do about that. Scintilla does splitting based on pixel widths; there might be a fair argument for Notepad++ doing its own splitting instead of using Scintilla’s when splitting is based on an “edge” with Background mode checked. Except for the visible line ending oddity, splitting by view width (that is, when there is no edge) works as one would expect. Why Notepad++ uses the width of a capital “P” to get the width to which to split lines when Scintilla uses the width of a space to draw the edge line, I can’t guess.

    @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?

    Hi, @thomas-knoefel and All, For these Search Results : Search "Fi" (27 010 hits in 646 file(s)) [1 153 file(s) searched], I got, successively, using your valuable instructions : 1 m 13 s 78, then 1 m 10 s 85 and finally 1 m 11 s 06 when LoadThreads="auto" 1 m 25 s 78 and 1 m 26 s 39 when LoadThreads="0" 1 m 09 s 54 and 1 m 09 s 55 when LoadThreads="8" So, the two tests with LoadThreads="8" seem very slightly better !? Note that : From Laptop documentation, my processor is an Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 2.80 Ghz (up to 4.7 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology ) 12 MB L3 cache, 4 cores 8 logical processors From informations système, I saw for Processeur : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz, 2803 MHz, 4 cœur(s), 8 processeur(s) logique(s) Total installed RAM : 32 Gb This explain why I wanted to test with 8 threads. But, may be this assumption is not pertinent ! ? Best Regards, guy038

    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.
