@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.

Just found the version number is 7.8.8 instead of 7.8.9 in About Box.

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. Later i figured it out that it was proxy settings i need to modify to make it installed/donwload in my office pc setup. Thank you.

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

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.

No news is good news.
This RC will go on live today.

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

@guy038 @Lucienne1900

New RC with new added option to allow the backward search of regex :

I lock this thread so let’s talk in the thread of RC4.

@Michael-Vincent

Just release RC3 here to meet what you needs (both) :

@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.

@overstop said in Notepad++ v7.8.6 released:

Where is this feature located ?
Add multi-column marker (multi-line edge) feature.

Menu: Settings => Preferences => Editing : Vertical Edge Settings

Cheers.

Hi, All,

See the @peterjones’s post, here, for explanations regarding point 1 :

1. Fix new style save dialog by adding file extension automatically.

Cheers,

@PeterJones
Nice to learn about that. Thank you for testing.

Thank you @Alan-Kilborn & @PeterJones .
I’ll fix it ASAP.

Please check the 3rd RC:

@Norbert-Kiss said in Notepad++ v7.8.5 released:

BTW forcing to turn it off via the Volume Mixer settings of Windows as a workaround is not too professional way of solving it.

Don’t believe there even WAS a way to turn it off before now.

@Morten-Siljuberg

But, after some additional research, if you open the Sound Mixer applet you should be able to mute Notepad++ if that is your wish.

Thank you @guy038

The bug you found has been fixed in RC2:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19005/7-8-5-release-candidate-2

Hi,

If I have unsaved documents open and try to shut down Windows, it takes too long to do it, or simply crashes with ntoskrnl blue screen. When I get back to Windows, backup files of those unsaved documents are corrupted beyond repair.

I’ve just lost one-year work in other program happened to be running when the crash took place, supposedly because of this behavior.

I’m using Notepad++ 7.7.1 64-bit on Windows 8.1.

Sorry if this kind of bug already asked before (but after searching for a while I didn’t think there was anything similar). Sorry for my English.
