@pnedev Cannot reproduce - it works fine for me. Please create an issue on Github & provide all necessary information there, I (& other devs eventually) will try to reproduce according your information.

@tm8544 said: There is a regression in Notepad++ 8.9.9. I saw it already in 8.9.8.1, but I could not pinpoint it at that time. “Regression” means a bug introduced in this version that wasn’t present in the previous version. So if you saw it in the previous version, then it’s not a regression, just a bug. Use Compare plugin, diff since last save (Ctrl+Alt+D) This sounds a lot like this report, which the plugin author is now looking into and tracking in that plugin’s issue tracker. Plugin authors are responsible for investigating bugs/crashes that are caused when using features of their plugins, as they are the only ones who can determine whether the problem is on their end or on Notepad++'s end; bugs/crashes in a plugin should be reported directly to the plugin author.

The RC will be available before October 30. Sorry for the delay.

@PeterJones Oh!! Understood!! thank you!!!

@donho Typo: “7 Fix Netork Path Warning dialog usability problem.” --> Network

@Ian-Eales , That sounds more like a feature request than something that used to work but broke during 8.9.7 – so it’s not a regression. The FAQ here explains where requests for new features need to go …

FYI v8.9.8 RC is changed to RC2: https://github.com/donho/notepad-plus-plus/releases/tag/RC2

Ah ok. So just noticed this has been implemented after updating to 8.9.7. How do I get around the dialog coming up “security information for shortcuts.xml is missing in config.xml” when I deploy this to multiple computers? I have a “master copy” of a portable installation on a network drive, then update that whenever a new version comes out. There is a batch file on a “client” PC that basically copies that folder from the network drive to a local drive on the client. So every client, whenever they first use a macro, gets this warning and has to validate the shortcuts.xml file. How do I stop this from happening, i.e. how can I make the shortcuts.xml file “trusted” in the master copy on the network drive, so it appears trusted on any other client that happens to download it?

FYI: Notepad++ v8.9.7 RC2 is available now: https://github.com/donho/notepad-plus-plus/releases/tag/RC2

@MarkusBodensee Yes, I also found that 2nd problem. Thanks for handling the fix, I’ll try to review.

@donho , https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/27545/inability-to-save-file-to-onedrive-with-8.9.6-version-of-notepad indicates that there might be a regression with the ability to save to OneDrive…
