@gittyup2018 said in Disable auto-updater?:

So I want to know how can I disable this check and/or what domain do you use to check if the version is compatible so I can block it from “phoning home” ?

Did you consider it might be in the online manual?
Start here and scroll down a couple of pages

Thank you, I think I have now configured that section,

@madtomt said in AutoComplete stopped working.:

Ahh… sorry I will make sure I read them in future.

In the grand scheme of things, ‘not reading the release notes’ is a pretty minor sin. You just happened to be the umpteen-millionth person to ask the same thing in the forum since the v8.2.1 release.

I did appreciate that you were willing to entertain the idea that you were “doing something wrong”, instead of just yelling at us for breaking Notepad++. So ++kudos for that. :-)

@tomas-b said in Style with highlighting stopped working with multiple word selection:

Was not aware about new menu with changed default behavior.

People seem to have trouble when behavior changes.
Immediately “it’s a bug”.

@gstavi Sure I be the web developer!

@gitrick00 said in Auto complete over multiple tabs:

Is it possible to expand the index of the autocomplete function over more than one tab?

Not natively as you’ve heard already. But there are ctags plugins that help with code navigation as well as providing autocomplete across a “project” of files. Have a look at NppGTags

Cheers.

I would like to see onlie doc https://npp-user-manual.org/doc but not working

That hasn’t been the documentation URL for years, and there shouldn’t be anything left that links to that. The ? links you to npp-user-manual.org, which is the official online user manual.

Can I ask you the same thing for force for all user not update

The manual doesn’t delve into the nitty gritty mapping of each preference to which attribute in the config.xml it refers to. The expectation when Don tasked me and others to implement the modern user manual was to make it focused on “normal” users – and “normal” users only want to use the GUI. For people who want to manually edit the config.xml instead of use the GUI, they are expected to experiment with the GUI, see how it influences the config.xml, and then make the changes.

As someone who is trying to deploy, I understand your need to get deeper into the details. But really, since you have to unpack the default installer to be able to get at the config files that you need to configure anyway, I would think it would be easiest to unpack, go into the GUI and make the settings the way you want, then go grab the GUI-edited config files.

But the update setting is controlled by

<GUIConfig name="noUpdate" intervalDays="15" nextUpdateDate="20220223">yes</GUIConfig>

Note that the value yes means “no update”, and no means “do the automatic update”. So what I’ve shown you will disable the automatic updater.

@alan-kilborn Thank you! I’ve succeeded. It works fine!
Great job!

@michael-vincent
Ok.

FEATURE trumps BUG !

@clyfton-in FYI I created a new issue for this problem, since I don’t use tabs (not enough screen space to display them!) and I’ve not seen a one-shot sort function used in a column header in any app before so I found the behaviour rather confusing until I stumbled upon your post which identified the issue (so thanks!).

@sashank999 said in How to set custom icons in N++ for different file extensions ?:

Or maybe in “Folder As Workspace”

That area plus the “project” panels might be a good place for such extension-based icons. OK, I’m in with the idea. :-)

@roby-di-vincenzo said in Texts on the left are invisible with the combination of keys (Ctrl + Tab):

Could you help me or fix this bug that just happened?

What is happening here is that the yellow popup window is centered on the Notepad++ window and in certain circumstances that, coupled with long pathnames for files, can cause the yellow popup to be drawn offscreen (where you can’t see its data).

A reproduction example:

Make your N++ window non-maximized and size it to be very narrow horizontally

Move the window to near the left edge of your monitor

Invoke Ctrl+Tab

Observe left side of pathnames is not viewable, just like for OP

You can file a bug report for this; see how to HERE.

@peterjones ,
great.
I also found #59714 and #26203 there.

For example, when I think of “Customize Toolbar”, it is quite a job to set up the toolbar again on another computer. I can copy the “CustomizeToolbar.btn” and “CustomizeToolbar.dat” by hand.
But as you say, the step isn’t that big anymore.

If I understand correctly, the NPP settings come from “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++” to “cloud location path”.
Are all plugin settings in “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config”?

In any case, I think it’s great!
That would complete the picture :-)

Greetings Conniff

Lots of information to unpack from initial post. Though well decribed. I always disable auto updating as it all seems intrusive to me :) as I like being in control as much as possible.

@ea117-admin said in Notepad++ Update Behavior Suggestion:

Just “update”. Not “re-make all my installation decisions again.” Someone who wants to remake all installation decisions again can still do that by running the full interactive installer again.

It is a NSIS installer. A default inbuilt argument is /S (must be uppercase), which performs a silent install. This can be used for a new installation or an upgrade installation.

If the updater could have an option to append /S to the command line to run the upgrade install, then try to issue a request.

If doing over multiple machines, then perhaps handle the upgrade yourself and deploy the new installer and use the /S argument.

@ron-matthews ,

It is assumed, at present, that this a bug

Or you could conclude, based on the v8.2.1 announcement and release notes, that it was an intentional feature implementation, as evidenced by #3 in the notes.

@peterjones thank you

… and if I take a fresh 8.1.2 portable unzip, and switch to Bespin, I see all the comment lines like the ones you said were hidden, if I’ve understood:

bd13f211-644b-4728-9572-da30bd54fe1f-image.png

So I think you can just update your Bespin.xml.

If not, please use the </> on the toolbar, and share an example snippet of text that shows the problem, and maybe even give us the contents of your Bespin.xml. For example, here is the file I have the screenshot for:

/* Normal comment */ /* Normal comment with post Ácute Ãnd Õther Àccents ================== */ IF (expression) BEGIN blah END /* ==================Normal comment with pre/post and Ácute Ãnd Õther Àccents================== */ IF (expression) BEGIN blah END
