    @Danny-Duplechian From my cursory reading of the change logs, there is a lot of new security-related functionality, specifically related to NTLM authentication. I’m NOT an expert, but npp is now checking with you before accessing non-local paths, in an attempt to determine what should (not) be trusted. These non-local paths may appear in your .npp-session file, among others. If these reads are done on untrusted servers, your “NTLMv2 hash” may (will?) be sent and possibly used against you. If you recognize the server, click Load or Always load.

    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 mean, it literally says “Move to recycle bin”, not “Delete forever”. Windows removed it’s prompt when deleting files starting with Windows 10. What is the reason Notepad++ still keeps these prompts?

    @guy038 I can creat a Python script :) but the beauty and art was finding a solution just with regex.

    @guy038 Hello @guy038, Thanks for this thorough test, and no, you didn’t do anything wrong. Your investigation uncovered two separate behaviors in the code: Binary Files: MultiReplace “Find in Files” currently skips binary files, while native N++ searches every file it lists. That accounts for most of the gap in your USB drive numbers. I’ll look at how to make this configurable and more transparent. UTF-16 Bug: There is indeed a bug in how “Find in Files” handles UTF-16 encodings compared to “Find in Docs” and “Replace in Files”. This most likely explains the missing files in your smaller Test folder too. Since the forum isn’t ideal for sharing files and tracking bug fixes, I have opened a GitHub issue for this here: https://github.com/daddel80/notepadpp-multireplace/issues/133 I would gladly take you up on your offer to share the E:\Test folder contents so I can verify the fix against them. Could you please attach that folder as a zip or provide a link in the GitHub issue? Thanks again for your time and for helping to polish the next release candidate!

    I’m used to ISPF editing, using column based information. (SPFLite is a dumbed down version) I can do most of what I need in there, but N++ fills in holes in ISPF edit. For example, N++ can add, change or delete information across several lines. RegEx is available on ISPF edit, but I’m too busy to learn it. N++ does this much easier.
