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 ?

@Andrew-Perpetua

I’ve used it without issues on 1440p for quite a while. Unfortunately, I now have a 4k monitor (2160p) and the text is very significantly harder to read on it. Your 1800p is exactly halfway between a 1440p and a 2160p, and it appears fine. So it leads me to believe somewhere between 1800 and 2160 it gets more difficult.

the windows scaling factor is independent of the physical resolution.
a higher resolution will only permit you to see a larger area at the same scaling factor.

the rendering stays the same, albeit your optical reception will depend on the pixel density, compared to your previous display.

e.g. if your past display was 27" with a resolution of 2560x1440, the most probable visual satisfaction, for all previously used applications, would be achieved with a same size 27" screen, with four times the original resolution, which would be 5120×2880.

so yes, you are absolutely correct, that the most pragmatic, cost effective, and most logical option, is to find other software that isn’t impossible to read.

many thanks and best regards.

D’oh! I didn’t even think of checking the issues on the project. Thanks for clearing this up!

You do it SOMEWHERE ELSE!

welcome to the notepad++ community, @raisen

please go to settings > preferences > default directory and activate use new style dialog as seen at the screenshot below:

Imgur

after that, if you save a new file, or if you choose save as, you will have a new folder button, to create a new folder, if it does not exist, as seen at the next screenshot:

Imgur

best regards.

UDL for an obscure language. He’ll just have to make do with the default theme while working with it.

Or he can customize the UDL’s colors to match a single theme that he commonly uses.

@Vincent-Morin

Seems like you could do something like this for that:

Find (?s)foo.*
Search mode Regular expression

(Replace foo with your real search term)

I’ve bumped issue#5415, trying to gain traction on at least adding “portable” in prominent locations on the download page, so that eventually people searching for “portable notepad++” will see the official page, rather than the portableapps, as the first and primary link. (I guess it won’t actually help on this one, because the OP got it from the Windows store… but at least the Windows store points out it’s unofficial.)

Awesome! Thanks Peter, that did it.
