@Chris-P

Complete user customization capability (like the editor window right-click context menu) is underway; see issue 12170.

@Esmee-Lohgynn said in Find & Replace, except the one selected:

I didn’t realize I had “match case” and “match whole word” selected

Match case wouldn’t matter here. Match whole word only would matter; from the user manual:

If the left and right characters of your search string are both non-word characters (so not letters, numbers, underscore, and optionally additional characters set by your preferences), then the text to the left and right of your match must be word characters, spaces, and/or beginning or ending of the line.

So, even though the OP was very light on detail, this behavior was what he was a victim of.

Note also that the OP’s problem would have been solved MUCH quicker if he had provided sufficient level of detail, not just complaining that it doesn’t work and that “I have literally been doing this for years, I don’t need instructions on how to do it.”

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you.

Hi, @alan-kilborn and All,

And yet one more…

Also on the right-click context menu of all tabs:

@Alan-Kilborn said in W11 toolbar buttons and some dialog text is really small:

The icons maybe make a lot more sense in a dark mode themed Notepad++

Yes I can see that they would. But I love knowing that I can create my own custom ‘default’ icons.

@PeterJones ,
Yes, clever approach, thanks!
Unfortunately it’s impossible to set Light mode through Dark mode :-)
Now I know that #99B4D1 is ActiveCaption system color in some themes since Windows Vista.

Thanks for the tip William Algie :
I also went to the plugins - Plugins-Admin, and looked at the Updates Tab, and ColumnTools 1.4.4.1 was avalable, so I updated it, and now the problem seems to be solved.

@PeterJones said in Feature Request: Pin frequent searches:

In fact, you already had one of the previous official issue requests.

Thus making this thread entirely a waste of everyone’s time.

@Hellena-Crainicu ,

as @Ekopalypse said, the post directly above yours, which you replied to, already answered your question. There are only the 5 individual colors, but they are not mutually exclusive. So if you want more than that, you combine the colors: For example, if you have the text Style_1_4_5 and want it a different color from the 5 built-in style colors, what you could do is highlight that word, apply style 1; it should have remained highlighted, so then you could also apply style 4; it should remain highlighted, so then you could also apply style 5. After applying the 3 different styles, the color combination will be different from any of the 5 builtin styles – so it will not be color1, or color4, or color5, but a mathematical combination of the three colors. Using combinations of 1 or more of the 5 builtin styles, you can create 2⁵-1=31 different colors, all 31 of which are shown in Claudia’s post.

Also, Claudia left the Community years ago (and I still miss her insights and helpful contributions), so she will not come back to reply to your post.

@J-Brouwer

why cannot one edit an own topic anymore after 5 minutes

Until very recently, it was a 3 minute limit! :-)

The reason for it is more complicated, but I like to think of it as not allowing history to be changed, because it can make other history not make sense.

If someone says something in a post, and 5 replies happen to a specific point in that original post because the user made a typo, fixing the typo 5 posts ago invalidates the logic of the additional posts. (Typos are one thing, other “mistakes” are more important – but maybe you get the idea)

If you post something, and later find you have additional information or realize you made a mistake, simply add an another post with clarifying data.

There was investigation into the possibility of letting the current final poster in a thread edit it with no time limit, but apparently the forum software – BTW, not affiliated with Notepad++ in any way; it is just software used, much like you use Notepad++ but don’t have control over its code – doesn’t offer that as a feature.

@guy038 ,

I was leaning toward checked / unchecked / disabled already. With both native English-speakers and non-native speakers saying that those words would be understood and reasonable, that’s what I’ll go for. If there’s ever ambiguity with the disabled, I might use disabled (greyed out).

And I do like @AdrianHHH’s suggestion of explaining the convention somewhere.

Thanks for chiming in.

@Jeronymite said in change.log causes display of last active tab to be wrong tab:

have done as you recommended

@Freedom-SBS ,

Hmm. I wonder if the server doesn’t think your account has permission to access the root directory contents. Maybe try setting the default directory to your account’s “home directory”, and see if that works. Also, try seeing if the same thing happen with a separate *FTP client (maybe FileZilla or WinSCP or something similar)? if it happens with another client, then you will need to talk with the sysadmin or support for the server/provider. If it doesn’t, then the problem is probably too deep for me – you might want to file an issue with the NppFTP plugin’s issue tracker

I’d agree that going with the preference setting Peter mentions is the way to go, if this type of popup annoys you at all. End of story. Stop reading now… Unless you don’t want to enable that preference setting (e.g., you still want to be warned if multiple files are to be saved).

The feature request that Peter cites solves the problem specifically asked for:

not to do the popup when only the single viewed file is modified

So the real and exact answer is to make sure you are running 8.4.3 or later.

However, note that the popup will still occur if you invoke Save All and there is exactly one modified file and that file is not the currently active file. The only way it doesn’t occur is if the Save All is invoked and the current file is the only one modified. In this case the Save All is exactly equivalent to a Save, so no popup happens.
