Hi AJ Baxter,

what you can do is writing a python script which can do it.
Something like

for i in range(1,3): identifier = editor.getLine(i) if identifier == 'something to compare': notepad.setLangType(LANGTYPE.CPP) ...

If you know how it can be identified and you are willing to go this way let me know.
Btw. what needs to be done, reagrding python script plugin installation and creation
of script can you read here.

Cheers
Claudia

Hello Cees,

Very clever solution, Indeed ! Thanks for sharing it :-) I haven’t thought of that simple and useful work-around, yet !

Searched a bit. For anyone with similar wishes as me, the problem started in 6.7. The last version with the original indent style is thus 6.6.9 https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-6.6.9-release.html

So I’ll leave this post as developer feedback and stay on 6.6.9 until further notice. Thanks

Question on the auto “verbose” backup option…

Is there a plug-in that will allow the auto backup to be created in the local folder where the file / source is being edited?

Or… as long as I do not set a back folder in the preferences will it default to the folder where the file was opened from?

I am working on a website that has several folders off of the “root” that I have created on my local PC. I would like to Filezilla the file(s) from & to their corresponding folder and have NPP make a backup of the edits in that same folder.

Make sense?

This is a very small company that does not have any kind of version control software, so I just want to make sure I am keeping backups as I edit.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Good News Update: I very carefully (often saving) saved over two hours of detailed meeting notes using NP 6.8.1 earlier this week - and it did NOT crash. I have had a few occasions where NP 6.8.1 greys out on me and then shuts down, but at least I didn’t loose data. I do hope as ‘updates’ to NP++ are posted, all the highly qualified contributors to this tool keep it stable, and warn us if there are reports of crashes. Thanks.
