@Parpaluck209 Notepad++ is an open source project. You could always code up the feature and get it added through a Pull Request. hint hint

Salut, @donho! The issue with hungin npp on large files preview is successfully fixed in the Notepad++ 7.4.1. Thanks!

Rearranging tabs doesn’t work. Can’t drag them to reorder.

@miaXcova Please disregard and delete my above post. I reinstalled 7.3.2 and can no longer duplicate the above issue I poorly demonstrated. Apologies - was probably something to do with settings.

@Artur-Hareson This is the expected behavior.

@Claudia-Frank nope…it was an update

After installation 7.3 version, the problem is over.
I don’t know why.
Thanks for you help

@donho 7.2.2 does not help. I post some Details at 7.2.2 thread.

@Scott-Sumner
I don’t know how to check if I’m in that mode. It’s not listed in my installed plugins. Here’s a data sample:
|.|xxxx |#xxx |HENDERSON |NV|89074|0000|…|…|…|

I installed an old version so this is no longer an issue for me.

@Scott-Sumner
Scott, you are rigth.
I really noticed this “new” way for renaming a file.
Even so, thanks for you attention.

Thanks @Claudia-Frank .

BR,
Pavel

Hi Scoot and All,

Scott, sorry for this late reply !

So, I’ve just did a test, again, with the last N++ version ( v6.9.2 ) with the simple following macro, which searches for the exact case of the article the, in all the opened files, of your current N++ session :

<Macro name="Test" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="the" /> <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1636" sParam="" /> </Macro>

This macro is automatically inserted in the <Macros> node :

The first line, defines the name of the macro and its possible shortcut

The second line initializes the search process

The third line defines the string to search : the word the

The 4th line selects the search mode : the digit 0, in lParam, meaning normal search

The 5th line defines the search options : the digit 2 means Match case

The final 6th line defines the search type : the number 1636 stands for a search in all opened documents

Refer to the link below, for further information :

http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Editing_Configuration_Files#Search_.2F_Replace_encoding

Remark : The action of the flag value 512, when message = “1702”, is wrong ! The correct action is Search goes downwards :-))

So, if you run this form of the macro Test, you get the right result : the Find result panel, with all the occurrences found in all the files opened

Unfortunately, if you create a macro, in order to search in current document only, or if you change the number 1636 with the number 1641( flag value for search in current document ), in the shortcuts.xml file, with an OTHER editor than N++, when any instance of N++ is closed, the Find result panel does NOT opened, as it should, when running the macro :-(((

This bug is still there ! As a work-around, if numerous files are opened, in your session, you may :

Close most of them, not concerned with the search

Perform the above macro, which searches on all opened files

Click, on the menu option File - Opened All Recent Files

P.S. :

Oh, I forget to tell you that my technical configuration is, simply, a Windows XP SP3 system, on a NEC Versa M350 laptop :-((

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 !

Test on WinXP SP3 x86

New Installation and Update from npp6.8.8 worked well.
NPP started and showed change.log.

Notepad++ v6.8.9
