welcome to the notepad++ community, @Alain-Vercammen

thank you for asking.

you are absolutely correct here, to discuss possibilities or pre-discuss issues with a large audience of community members and devs.
unfortunately long full path names are still a windows problem in general.

you can try to use the free utility FileSeek to test if it is working on your path structure length.
it has notepad++ integration and a lot of include/exclude, date and regex functions. much more than can ever be integrated into notepad++.

if you like that it gets eventually solved, e.g. with path workaround tricks, directly at the notepad++ core, you can also follow our FAQ Desk: Feature Request or Bug Report guide, to search the issue tracker for similar path length issues, or file a new issue, if you can’t find any matching issue.

many thanks and best regards.

Thoughts ?

not really, at least not yet.

as both version 7.6.4 and 7.6.6 are not code signed, and 7.6.4 works, i would exclude a security policy, that prevents unsigned code to access your data files.

if you have time and dare testing pre-release versions, you could also try the current 7.7 release candidates from >>> here <<<, to see if they would work on your system. they are code signed again, so maybe they could work, if it is a security setting or protection software that causes this.
(portable .zip versions are also available, for testing without the need of installing them)

best regards.

this is the default behaviour of all official notepad++ releases, installed and portable.

if it is not, please go to the notepad++ menu settings > preferences > backup and activate remember current session for next launch and enable session snapshot and periodic backup (7 seconds) as seen at the screenshot below:

The original version 7.6 was rather problematic. I think you should follow @Meta-Chuh 's advice, and grab v7.6.6. It will have the Plugins Admin for you to use.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Peter-Gründler

this does not seem to happen to me, using notepad++ 7.6.6 32 bit and dspellcheck 1.4.11.0.

if i switch to round box, and right-click on any misspelling and choose ignore for current session, only the highlight of this word is removed, but not all.

maybe the author @Predelnik has an idea what could cause this, or you can have a look at the issue tracker, if something similar has been reported already:
https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/issues

what dspellcheck version are you using, and what is your debug information from the notepad++ menu: ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard ?

the debug info of the machine i’ve just tested this is:
Notepad++ v7.6.6 (32-bit)
Build time : Apr 3 2019 - 23:49:50
Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 7 (64-bit)
Plugins : ComparePlus.dll dbgpPlugin.dll DSpellCheck.dll ElasticTabstops.dll EmmetNPP.dll HexEditor.dll IndentByFold.dll JSMinNPP.dll LuaScript.dll MarkdownViewerPlusPlus.dll mimeTools.dll NavigateTo.dll NppAutoIndent.dll NppConverter.dll nppcrypt.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll NppJumpList.dll NppMarkdownPanel.dll NppSnippets.dll NppTextFX.dll NppUISpy.dll PreviewHTML.dll PythonScript.dll SourceCookifier.dll Tidy2.dll XMLTools.dll

there are two ways to change your avatar again, as long as you still have a local copy of your tribal avatar:

1) change your avatar at your primary account, like google, for all platforms you use.

2) change your avatar just for the notepad++ community:

click on your avatar at the top right of your screen.
then click at your name (Alan Kilborn), as seen at the screenshot below.
(… yes, i know it does not say Alan Kilborn there … 😉)

click on edit, as seen at the next screenshot:

click on change picture as seen at the next screenshot.
important note: do not press delete account under any circumstances. 😄
Imgur

click on 'upload new pictureand select your desired avatar picture. once you're satisfied, hitsave changes`.

btw: i think you can also upload animated gifs as avatars here, like this “admin email” dude a while ago, just in case you want to play around a bit.

Thank you :):):)

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Ramin-Parsa

this is the default behaviour and has always been that way.

when you switch from ltr to rtl, notepad++ will switch to right to left text editing for all tabs.

best regards.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @MaxWattage

this is intriguing, and i hope we can work it out.

If Notepad++ is currently open, then [sometimes] Notepad++ won’t open, and nothing happens. (erratic/buggy behaviour)
This was tested on Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit

if notepad++ is in mono instance mode, and it is already open, it will not open another window, but it should always open your file.

can you check, if it makes any difference, whether the file to be opened, but does not open, has following conditions:

the file has spaces in it’s path or filename. the file is on a network drive and notepad++ is in administrator mode, which does not have access to the network drives mapped to your user account.

also your debug info can be of help. please go to the notepad++ menu ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard and paste the clipboard content here.

many thanks and best regards.

If I could have the 32bit and the 64bit versions installed on the same machine at the same time it would be easier to do an exact comparision

The portable versions of each would be great for this kind of compare; both can exist on the same system.

@Charlie-Fuller

the missing autocomplete experience, might be due to the folder location changes of the newer notepad++ releases, causing the installer not to automatically select the autocompletion option when updating.

(the old folder location was Notepad++\plugins\APIs, and the new folder location is Notepad++\autoCompletion\)

the usual fix is to install notepad++ again, on top of your existing notepad++, and make sure that autocompletion is activated at the installer.
(recommended version: 7.6.6)

here are some details from a similar issue:

please check if C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\autoCompletion\xml.xml exists. (folder location example of a default 32 bit install)

if it does not exist, please download the 7.6.6. 32 bit installer from >>> here <<< ,
or the 7.6.6. 64 bit installer from >>> here <<< ,
and re-install it on top of your existing notepad++.
important note: make sure that auto-completion files is selected when re-installing.

if it does exist, please go to settings > preferences > auto-completion and check that function and word completion and function parameters hint on input are activated, as seen at the screenshot below:

best regards.

Yes. The only change necessary on this end was Tab settings going from [Default] to normal.

The missing understanding was both the terminology where this setting was located from previous reply statements and the video of how different combinations come together.

I appreciate your kind assistance.

Thanks,

Not sure [why] Plugin manager didnt’ remove it but Plugin Admin did

Because Plugins Admin is built into Notepad++ v7.6.x and newer, and is compatible with the newest (v7.6.6); whereas Plugin Manager was an externally-maintained tool which is now incompatible with v7.6.x.

Since you keep refusing to help us help you (ie, post the Debug Info), we cannot actually confirm your version number… but since you have Plugins Admin available, I assume it’s v7.6.x, and since you said you just upgraded to a new version, I am going to further assume that you upgraded to the most recent. But really, if you want our help, you’ll provide the info we ask for. If you don’t want our help, you’ll keep giving replies that ignore our advice and queries.

(If you want to get rid of the 20min delay between posts, people will need to upvote you. I am guessing that won’t happen until you start showing a willingness to help us help you. For example, I am sure you could get the requisite two upvotes just by actually posting the Debug Info.)

@sams-sams

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Rohan-Gadalkar

we need more information, like what files are open, and your debug information from the notepad++ menu ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard.

we would also need details about your current settings > preferences > misc > file status autodetection.

note: usually the save all option stays greyed out, if all files are saved and remain unchanged, but if a file gets an update from an external program, the save all option will reappear, as the file on disk might differ from the version opened in notepad++.

best regards.

@PeterJones

Thanks! Seems I’m not the only person struggling with the formatting learning curve. :)

Now if only I could pin that or add it to my favorites or… I’ll get there.

@Ken-Detweiler

is your “Thanks a lot.” sarcastic, and intended to vent, or do you need help, or both ?
