There’s no special scheme plan.
If RC is good, then the same binaries will be published as official release. Otherwise the regression is fixed then the same version number with RC2, etc…
The RC is not supposed to be out of community, so I think it’s OK. In the worst case, we have the build time to compare with.

@V-S-Rawat

Please separately specify if any changes have been made in plugin arrangement in this version after recent so many changes?

no user relevant changes to the plugins arrangement have been made, so if you are on 7.6.3, and you update to 7.6.4, you will not experience any changes regarding your existing plugins.

one thing you are going to like: 7.6.4 has the built in feature to open your specific plugins folder directly in an explorer window.
so you will not have to remember any past or present plugins locations, regardless where and how notepad++ is installed.
(this feature applies to both installed and portable versions, both 32 and 64 bit)

ps: if any supportive relevant changes are made or omitted, they will be posted as additional supportive notes, shortly after a release.

Seems you have still not started beta release concept?

the “beta” testing, using e.g. the appveyor artifacts, is still available and has been available for a long time.
i have given you a basic, but maybe too extensively technical guide, on how to test any version before it’s public release, a few weeks/months ago.

as the guide was, retrospectively seen, too technical, i (we) will try to write a simpler guide, suitable for the general public, as soon as i (we) can find the time to do so.

my apologies for that.

Please don’t - it was my responsibility to make sure it works before releasing it.
I was integrating Markdown into all zip packages then I realized it doesn’t deployed correctly by Installer in v7.6.3.

Anyway, it’ll be better now:

I now regret making these two posts:

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16848/notepad-v7-6-2-yellow-vest-gilet-jaune-edition/3
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16848/notepad-v7-6-2-yellow-vest-gilet-jaune-edition/4

The amount of suppression that the Yellow Vest protest has received has now made me think that raising awareness of it, even in this way that I typically do not advocate, is acceptable…

Please delete these posts, and this one too.

@Jan-Černosta
Any progress in choosing proper codepage ANSI?
Thanks, Jan

Does anybody know what it means to “Replace Notepad”? How is that different from setting N++ as the default text editor?

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I found the solution. Notepad++ doesn’t create the directory %APPDATA%\Roaming\Notepad++\Plugins automatically. I created the directory manually and now Notepad++ crashes any more.

The developer only pays attention to any given “new release” thread in the Community Forums for a short while – and especially once he’s moved on to a newer version, he won’t be paying attention to the thread for an older version.

If you want better tracking, follow this FAQ to the Notepad++ Issues tracker on GitHub. You will want to search the existing issues (both open and closed) to make sure you aren’t repeating someone else’s request (I’ve seen this request multiple times).

Even posting the request there, there is no guarantee that it will be implemented to your liking: he may choose to not implement any given feature request, and might not always close issues he’s privately rejected.

@donho Yes, this fixes the problem, thanks!

@Allan-Marques,

It doesn’t seem to do that for me, but maybe I’m not doing it exactly the way you are–can you provide more detail/screenshots?

@Vinod-Jacob

Any updates on the new version of plugin manager

I don’t think you are going to see any replies to that query from the N++ author. Maybe the best you can do is look in the codebase for related commits and infer status from that. Example: I see something on 2018-04-30 that seems related…

sorry for delay, I didn’t get the notification…

I was completly wrong, access time doesn’t matter in my problem (it changes after file status auto-detection).

I’m on Windows 7 / 10 and files on a debian machine, it’s something related to network samba shares, since I can’t reproduce with local files.

On network I reproduce in this way:

open a file change and save it leave (blur) n++ window wait 10 seconds focus n++ window change alert shown

I’ll update this thread as soon I find more details.

@donho

I’ve finally solved the file status auto-detection problem.
It was a Win7 <> SMB2 cache problem (it didn’t affect N++ before 7.5.2).
I’ve solved adding:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanworkstation\Parameters\FileInfoCacheLifetime[DWORD] = 0

hi everi one

@donho
Please fix this regression:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/4313

Holy Moly, you have absolutely saved me!!! Adobe Bridge is so STUPID that every time you upgrade all keywords are blown away! Each image that I have has the keywords in the exif data but the list of keywords is gone. So since I’ve slept since creating these I forget just exactly how I have things organized. With EXIFTOOL (executed at the command level (DOS)) I can get the keywords and with Notepad++ I can add them into the xml file.
There are probably many other more exciting things to do with Notepad++ but I love it for this simple use.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I got an Exception message says Access violation.
I’ve tried installing the older version, version number 7.5, Didn’t get this exception message.
Here is the Screenshot
By the way, 7.5.3 the new updated didn’t fix this issues

(I accidentally wrote that the user should be able to “disable” local conf mode, but I meant enforce! Couldn’t edit. Sorry about the confusion.)

Found an annoying though minor bug in 7.4.2. It’s probably been around for a while.
Editing a 1000+ line CSS file, if I have line 1000 at the bottom of the NPP window, that tab-view shutters like crazy as it tries to reconcile the width of the line-number column and horizontal scroll (I think). No other tab-views are affected. At first, I thought my video card was failing. I adjusted my Npp app width and not only did it go away, but I can’t reproduce it.
