    @Robert-Gilland

    I gave up in the end

    Can’t you just keep pointing the installer prompt to E: ?
    I mean, sure, it would be great if it could remember, but…
    Notepad++ has, what, 3 or 4 releases a year, so you’d have to do this fairly rarely, right?

    Of course, I’m out of my element, because I use the “portable” version and never have to deal with such a thing. I just unzip the portable into a folder, move that folder where I like, and done.

    @gstavi said:

    I guess the sometimes surprising results mainly apply to the Find ALL and Replace ALL options rather than the Find.

    From my understanding it is the opposite of what you said.
    The “all” operations always move only forward through the text when doing their work, again AFAIK.
    Even “Replace All” with “backward” direction (in non regex search modes) moves forward when it does the replacement! You just don’t see how it is doing it because it does it all at once.

    Ah, when you said:

    since the user can’t tell the difference.

    you were considering this!

    There is absolutely no sense in Finding ALL with backward search.

    Seems true…

    “ALL” options should be grayed out when “backward” checkbox is selected.

    That gives the higher power to the checkbox rather than the buttons. I think the devs wanted it the other way. Just a guess.
    Good UI/UX design is really hard.

    I see

    The 2nd command is replaced with \n and should be attached \ \n together (double backslash).

    @PeterJones I guess you didn’t understand me, or you don’t want to. I was unsure between these two.
    You don’t need to teach me how to use the program or talk about hammer nails @PeterJones.
    I have stated that in the old versions (even if there is a usage error) the program did not crash, it gave a warning in the anormal state . @PeterJones
    While I was bringing up the subject , i was not aware of why this situation was happening @PeterJones. Because it was closing directly without any notification. As time progressed, I resolved the situation and stated here . @PeterJones
    I hope you understand me now @PeterJones.

    @PeterJones said in can I have drag n drop text disabled?:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the drag-and-drop of text is defined in the Scintilla component,

    It most certainly is.
    One can have a look at Scintilla’s Editor.cxx and search for inDragDrop to see some of the code.

    I cannot (say) that I’ve accidentally done a drag-and-drop on selected text…

    Never happened to me.

    Best advice to @Kara-Kitai : Just live with it the way it is.

    @mere-human

    From my recent discussion with Don and as Alan mentioned, Don prefers the opinions of “normal” users and to get his attention, those users need to open issues on github.
    Linking to previous discussions here in the community could
    be counter productive.

    how many useless controversies, as usual. I don’t really understand what’s suspicious about my request… I repeat it is a personal file of mine, and it is nothing so evil as it has been painted by those who have started this whole discussion. I really do not understand this totally inappropriate reaction.
    and perhaps only thing, you are right to say that here many ask for help while perhaps the real intent of this forum is to talk about the notepa++ program, but it is also true that many other users here ask how to solve their problems with reg-ex and other solutions, I am not the only one asking for help on this.
    Having said that then it is up to you to help or not, responding or not to the various posts. but having said this all the other controversies about a potentially legal file or not i find them really superfluous and useless, as already said a time ago …

    @Mrtnkbg said in The Select folder window is positioned with Ok and Cancel buttons outside the screen:

    instead of the usual(?) windows standard which resets windows/pop-ups to the default size during the next application session

    I’m not sure that is a “windows standard”.
    And that behavior would annoy me.

    Example: I have my Find window positioned on a different monitor than my maximized main N++ window. If, after a restart of N++, my Find window appeared in the default (e.g. new install) location – centered on the N++ main window – I’d be one unhappy user.

    @Terry-R Thank you, I will look at that, and as I was posting my last comment, I found that plugin and it did what I needed, I will practice regex, and see if I can build something

    @Dick-Douglas You can try the Customize Toolbar plugin, but some people have found it balky.

    Ctrl+Alt+s is the default shortcut keycombo – that’s a fairly fast option.
    Also, pressing Alt+f, releasing that and then pressing “a” is pretty fast.
    And SaveAs is present on the menu that appears when you right-click a tab.
    If all that is not to your liking, it is also possible to add it to the right-click context menu (that appears when you right-click on the text you are editing), although I hardly see the advantage to that over right-clicking the tab.

    A lot of options presented here, without having to resort to using a plugin to get a toolbar icon…

    @Alan-Kilborn said in Line wrap in the current version:

    So I came up with an In Selection Replace All action that will do the joining of lines and reduce any leading indents down to one space

    I didn’t explicitly say it, but hopefully it was understood that I would use that on groups of lines that start out indented at the same level, NOT on a whole big set of lines that has various sections indented to differing levels. That wouldn’t work (well, it would work but wouldn’t provide a desired outcome).

    Hello, @mathenay-lankou and All,

    Here is a regex solution :

    Open your list of strings. For instance : France Table Street England StreetView

    Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

    SEARCH (?-is)^(Street)$|(.*(?1).*)|(.+)

    REPLACE $0(?1 100%)(?2 50%)(?3 0%)

    Tick the Wrap around, preferably

    Select the Regular expression search mode

    Click on the Replace All button

    => You should get the expected list, below :

    France 0% Table 0% Street 100% England 0% StreetView 50%

    If I’m on the right way, I’ll explain you the regex details, next time ;-))

    Best Regards,

    guy038
