    Nah, I tried that.

    It also fails from Windows explorer. I right click a file and choose “Open with->Choose default program…”.

    It’s impossible to get NP++ to appear in the list of known programs and if you browse to it it simply ignores your selection.

    It seems just doesn’t like the 64 bit NP++ exe file.

    I’ve gone back to the 32 bit version (which works perfectly).

    @Greg-Heffernan

    Who really wants a bunch of “new X” pseudo-files hanging around?

    “Let’s see, where did I put that important thing I wanted to save…was it in the new 16 file…no…maybe it was new 12…no…well…hmmm…it’s here somewhere…”

    If it is important enough to type, it’s important enough to save properly, I always say.

    Anyway, suggest you look at the Take Notes plugin as it offers up a better way than the unsaved “new X” file method. Or a few lines of Pythonscript yield the same functionality; I have this tied to an entry in my right-click context menu, I call it TempFileYyyyMmDdHhMmSs.py :

    import os import time def TFYMDHMS__main(): temp_dir = os.environ['TEMP'] # or whatever... ymdhms = time.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S_", time.localtime()) new_file_fullpath = temp_dir + os.sep + ymdhms + '.txt' notepad.new() editor.insertText(0, '?'); editor.deleteRange(0, 1) # modify file so it can be saved notepad.saveAs(new_file_fullpath) TFYMDHMS__main()

    When run this script creates a new (saved) editor tab with a filename like this:

    Imgur

    And, obviously, once a file is named, it is saved along with other files making up a Session.

    @Meta-Chuh Well not entirely impossible, but not necessarily a Notepad++ function either. If sharing over a network, you can set access/attribute flags. I’d think that a Python script, for example, could set these flags, depending on the method of sharing.

    @Prabu-Balaji Is this a question on Notepad++ functionality, or a general file system question? If a file system question, perhaps a general Linux/Windows/SysAdmin/etc. forum would be a better place to get information. If you believe it is truly a Notepad++ question, please provide more details about how and where you are sharing the files and how you want Notepad++ to enable the write protection.

    Of course you have the option not to participate.

    I don’t get the attitude of people: instead of saying, “Gee, it would be nice if this forum allowed signups without social media” you make it a complaint and an accusation.

    AWESOME!!

    I set npp to “Run as Admin” recently because I had tried to save a file to an area that required elevation - and I didn’t want it to ever happen again.

    Turned that off and I have drag-and-drop back!!

    Thanks again and happy new year!! /jim

    No need to panic!
    None of the files you wrote are gone. NPP is a program to view files, it stores them to your selected location.
    Reinstalling NPP will be your fix.

    Is it possible that a Windows update removed NPP?
    Some Windows 10 updates did that for some reason at one time.

    never worry, i think almost all of us are pretty busy coping with our daily lives and thus far from omni-present.

    that’s why it’s so nice, that you, and many other people stop by, without really needing anything theirselves, just to check what’s new and to help out others.

    This is probably due to the bundled DSpellChecker since N++ 7.5.2.
    So either install additional languages or disable the automatic speller check if not needed with the ABC icon of the plugins menu.

    has been reported that DSpellCheck is the culprit, Plugin needs to be updated to a newer version.
