  Another thing, (Is this a known issue?) the popup “suggest” list in the editor topic field (Chrome) doesn’t respond on any clicks, so without doing a full search, it’s a bit awkward to get to the suggested topic.

  Hi all, devs and community. Been using N++ heavily in a production environment for the last few weeks. I think it’s ideal for this work environment. I’m now slowly looking for plugins to make some things easier, or to create some custom simple plugins soon. Thanks for excellent work and keeping it open source, much love from Greece! <3

  @guy038 said in Notepad++ 7.9 RC3: Thank you for asking me my feeling about it ! After all, it’s your product, isn’t it ? A product cannot go far without a great community. It’s always better to get people’s thinking to forge the direction of product. In this way, Notepad++ is rather a product of community, my role is just a filter to guide the product going more smoothly. Thank you everyone who’s contributed to this forum and to the project on GitHub!

  I just checked all available 32-bit version downloads, each one contains Np++ 7.9 RC2 as it should be. You should try downloading it again.

  @Дмитрий-Трошин said in Notepad++ 7.9 RC: What is the name of the language file for plain text? “txt.xml”? Please do your feature request here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues If many users have the same need, we may consider implementing it.

  Just found an updater issue. I had a previous 7.8.x version, and when I choose to update notepad++, it took a little time because of my bandwidth. I then switched applications and when back to notepad++, the download progress bar disappeard. So I manually initiated a new update via the help menu. Finally I found that there were 2 download at the same time, corrupting the installer exe. I had to download it a 3rd time (after the 2 first finished) so it overwrite the exe with correct version. Maybe it could be great to disable the menu entry to update notepad++ while another updater instance is running, also it would be great to put the progress bar always in front of notepad++.

  Notepad++ 7.6 & new Plugins Admin

  I found a fix, at least for my PC. On a Win7x64 system using 32-bit N++, I had the same problem with every post-7.6 version I had installed. None of them ever had the Plugins install correctly. I got it working, finally, with 7.8.9, but it’s likely the same issue as prior versions. I’m replying to this because it seems to have the most information/discussion. The problem was that the GUP.exe file in the notepad++/updater/ folder wasn’t ever starting. I watched my Task Manager and checked windows error logs… it never started. So I had a hunch, anc ran the GUP.exe program directly, and Windows popped up its UAC nag window ('Open File - Security Warning). I unchecked “Always ask before opening this file” to clear it with the UAC, clicked ‘Run’, and it showed the standard Notepad++ Available Update message. I clicked ‘no’. I then re-opened Notepad++, used the Plugins Admin to install a plugin, and it WORKED. Hopefully this will help others with the same problem, which was (for clarity) that selecting to install a plugin through the ‘Plugins Admin’, click ‘Yes’ to restart, and NPP closes but never re-opens on its own. When opened manually, nothing was installed.

  @ArkadiuszMichalski said in Notepad++ 7.8.9 RC 2: What is the practice of adding translations if the RC version already appears? Translation files are included before doing RC, since RC means “Release Candidate”, and once RC is validated by the community (ie. no regression reported), the tested binaries are kept for the release (there are some exceptions though). The updated translation files come after RC will be included in the next release.

  Yes i am not able to do install the Tortoise SVN plugin in the available section mentioned above in your post. i am able to do it in my personal pc but not in my office pc.

Also If you can see the info about Tortoise SVN plugin that mentions HomePage, Author, Available at etc Homepage the plugins available in that location are not working for notepad++ version higher than 7.6.3 it should be update it like this HomePage: https://github.com/incrediblejr/nppplugins/releases for 32-bit & 64-bit

  @ganesan-govindarajan There is a backward direction option disappeared in Find option See #10 in the original post: Disallow backward regex searches due to sometimes surprising results (an non-UI option is available to enable it). This is also documented in the Searching > Regex section of npp-user-manual.org, If you switch to Search Mode of Normal, then the backward arrow or backward direction checkbox will work. There is also a hidden setting in config.xml, officially documented here, which allows you to use backward search even with regular expressions.

  @overstop Please do not post in this thread. Clearly this thread is for discussion of 7.8.7 RC4 (especially critical issues discovered).

  @Michael-Vincent Just release RC3 here to meet what you needs (both) : https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19500/7-8-7-release-candidate-3 @PeterJones Can you change the c++ list to be *.cpp; *.cxx; *.cc; *.h; *.hh; *.hpp; *.hxx; *.ino? That way, when saving c++ files, the default extension is .cpp, which in my experience is more common than saving C++ files as .h (yes, I make header files, but I make more source-code files). Please check my reply here.
