@Alan-Kilborn Thank you

@Alan-Kilborn You never know :)
Anyway looking into getting some windows 2000 hardware collected, I think I think I have thought things through enough.

@James-Clow , I don’t think so. I haven’t found such alternative.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for finding the workaround.

@DavJenkins said in New feature request: Monitoring (tail -f) position after refresh:

It is impractical to toggle the tail setting off and on, …especially since there is no hotkey for doing so.

Assign whatever unused key you want in Settings (menu) > Shortcut Mapper… :

For the rest, you can make a feature request, see HERE for some guidance on doing so.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for the Windows theme suggestion - that should fix my issue. As for your confusion;

@Alan-Kilborn said in [Suggestion] Extend dark mode colours to all elements in NP++:

“cool customized dark mode” <— what exactly does that mean?

It means that some of the theme colors, to be specific the text and border colours, I modified to neon green (I do like to play script kiddie), and it looks cool (to me, at least). Anyway, thanks again.

Section 6 (and 4 and 5) of the GPLv3 actually covers the required terms to distribute the ‘object form’ of GPL licensed software.

All true. However those sections were drafted in the days of CD-ROMs and 3.5" diskettes. Nowadays, you “convey” the source by hosting it on GitHub.

Granted, Linux package maintainers do bundle the source files and make scripts; but only because their package policies are as old as the GPL itself.

@Alan-Kilborn

don’t be so hard on myself, I just missed it by ~4000 lines :-D

I can print to a generic text printer with line numbers but that includes page breaks.

@PeterJones said:

You could save a second copy of the file, then use the advice in this recent conversation to insert line numbers in the text itself.

As an alternative to Peter’s advice, perhaps you could take the file with the pagebreaks and remove those after-the-fact (if pagebreaks are the only undesirable content).

@PeterJones Thank you for the solution, it was very helpful for me!

I work on Win7 32 bit system.

Please note that the developers specifically say that win7 is no longer supported, so even if there were a problem with Notepad++ specifically under Win7, the developers will not address it. The frequent contributors to the Community Forum take their cue from that, and if it really is a Win7 only problem, we will suggest trying on a supported operating system.

if this is an issue of Notepad++ or of the plug-in itself

Since Notepad++ itself doesn’t have a multi-line toolbar feature, I would hazard a guess that the problem lies in the plugin’s implementation, not in Notepad++ itself. But the plugin author or maintainer would be more likely to be able to investigate and addrses such problems. The author might still be watching the project page for new bug reports or discussion, though it’s been a year since those were active, so…

would be better to have a Customize Toolbar feature directly into N++

The Notepad++ developer has decided that such functionality is better implemented in a plugin rather than as part of the core application, and does not often “compete” with actively-maintained plugins.

@Ninon_1977 said in Function list:

I changed the input file now - I added whitespaces after the Group number - now the function list looks perfect

Well, that’s the ultimate situation, when you have control over the data. Much more often, the format is dictated to you.

Had we known that, we’d have advised you to just change your format before even discussing how the tab might be playing in the function list.

@Gozer-404 ,

A normal copy will not have that extra line. However, using NppExport to Copy HTML to Clipboard will.

That’s because when the NppExport plugin generates the HTML and puts it in the clipboard, it includes a <title>Exported from Notepad++</title> as part of the HTML it exports. (This is because Notepad++ is generating standards-compliant HTML, and a full HTML document requires a TITLE.)

There are no configuration settings for that simplistic plugin, so you cannot change the behavior. Sorry.

It’s simple enough to delete that line after you paste the results into gmail (or other HTML-accepting app).

For future readers:

While I was writing my reply here (which took long enough that it spanned the entire conversation: when I started, there was just the original post), the original user got fed up, posted a nastygram, and deleted their account on their way out.

The biggest lessons to learn:

We are all fellow users here, just trying to help each other. Being upset at anyone on the Forum for the design of Notepad++ is counterproductive. Demanding your rights as a customer is also counterproductive. Be polite. Don’t be demanding, or demeaning, or rude. When asking for help, the quality of replies you get is directly proportional to the quality of the question asked. I try to always add some offset in my quality-in/quality-out function (hence my list of wild guesses as to the original problem), so that even if there is 0 quality in the original question, there will be some quality or usefulness in the reply. But the more useful details are provided in the original question, the easier it will be for fellow users to help you.

@Dario-de-Judicibus-0

Not an exact answer to what you asked, but see HERE.

Thanks PeterJones, the reboot thing I will take into account next time, to see that it was failing, I reinstalled it, the truth is that it has happened to me several times, even copy the configuration from one computer to another, and the same thing happened, and now I can not check it on the other PC, but when I can see if to run it again has been solved.

Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for but just fyi. I’ve updated the CSV Lint plug-in to v4.5.3 which includes a new option in the “Reformat Data” dialog to replace any carriage return/line feed characters (CRLF or CR or LF) with a given string, for example <br>.

You can install the latest plug-in manually by going to the releases page, download the zip and follow the steps as described here.
