Folder as workspace is a great improvement. One thing to make it even better is to allow for the option to collapse folders that only contain a sub-folder. This would very useful for java programmers, since their package names (and thus underlying folder structure) contains many nested folders. This is also true for scala and any other language that uses nested packages/namespaces

When I try to use the Column Editor with the Number to Insert feature, it crashes all the time. For info, I’m under windows 10.

Guy038, Could this me set up something like a wiki project - perhaps freezing out sections as soon as they seem satisfactory? Otherwise, I don’t see the manual ever being done! Think of how much useful material can be found on Wiki!

Hello Don, I’ve, still, been able to download the N++ 6.8.9 version, from that link : https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/6.x/unstableVersions/6.8.9/ I, then, installed the portable version, by downloading the npp.6.8.9.bin.7z archive Without modifying any N++ parameter, I tried to follow the steps which produce the crash issue. But, contrary to what you said, Don, I did NOT notice any issue, on my Win XP SP3 configuration, luckily ! Refer to the ? - Debug info list, below : Notepad++ v6.8.9 Build time : Jan 12 2016 - 00:00:51 Path : C:\_689\notepad++.exe Admin mode : OFF Local Conf mode : ON OS : Windows XP Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PluginManager.dll Remainder : The different steps, that I used for testing, are : Open a new tab, in Notepad 6.8.9 Type some random characters Save this file as Test.txt Switch off, from N+, to Microsoft Notepad Open the Test.txt file Add some random characters Save, with Microsoft Notepad, the changed file, Test.txt Switch back to Notepad++ 6.8.9, The Reload dialog appears : This file has been modified from another program. Do you want to reload it? Accept it, by clicking on the Yes button => No crash happened ! Procedure repeated several times => All is OK, on my Win XP SP3 configuration ! Best Regards, guy038 P.S. : Special thanks, for points #3, #4 and #5, of the change.log ! Of course, concerning point #4, people, who created macros, involving selection of lines, will have to, slightly, change their macros !

@donho Sorry for my late response, but I forgot to answer over the weekend. :D I’ve tested your fix and the bug is now semi-fixed: After replacing the Notepad++.exe I’ve started Notepad++ and the bug was still present for Java script files. Then I went into to settings dialog and modified the value for the Java script tab width. After modifying this value everything was fine. This behaviour changed in comparison to the unpatched Notepad++.exe where the tab width keeps wrong after modification in the dialog, so your fix worked at this place. Unfortunately your fix is not used in a recently started Notepad++. You must go into that dialog and change the setting first, otherwise your fix doesn’t work. So there should be one place more to fix. Kind Regards David Gausmann

I use the Vibrant Ink “theme” when editing TCL scripts. Using the Style Configurator, when I change Language: TCL STRING to pink, all the ‘{}’, ‘[]’ and conditional operators turn pink… judging by the list of Style: types offered for TCL configuration, there is something really hosed up 8( since the list is the same for C, C++, Java, C# RC and TCL.

@Carsten-Segieth said: I see also after the update to 6.8.1 a complete freezing of my Windows 7 system It could be the Source Code Pro font issue. Please use 6.8.3 in which this issue is solved.

@Moltres-Rider You can always use Plugins Manager to get it back.
