@Lucio-Menci-0 said in Notepad++ freezes if file is not avaiable any more:

I readed the discussion about the title dated 5/2/17.

Providing a link to the mentioned discussion is much more useful than making us go look for it.

Can I sudgest you to perform the try of reload in a background process,

You can suggest all you want, but if you are doing the suggesting here, in this Community Forum, then nothing will ever be done about it. The developers do not track bug reports or feature requests that are made in this Forum, and the rest of us in the Forum do not have the authority and/or skill to make codebase changes to the application. There is only one place the Developers do feature/bug tracking, and this Forum is not it. However, this Forum does have a FAQ entry called “Feature Request and Bug Report”, which explains how and where to make feature requests and bug reports.

logging in using Google doesn’t permit a username, only a full name.

Click on your icon in the upper right (with tooltip “Profile”), select “Edit Profile”. You can change both your “Full Name” on that page, or by clicking the “Change Username” button, you can change your user name as well.

There is also helderseppu’s NppFavorites for a quick save and recall of 6 file paths

@jbaker6953 said in Adjust line number font size?:

margin really fat

There’s also a bookmark margin there.
If you toggle off Display bookmark (shown as on in your screenshot), you’ll save even more room (probably a good idea only if you don’t use bookmarks).

GitHub and Twitter authentication are also both available from the login screen.

I update my previous comment for the benefit of any interested parties.
After several unsuccessful attempts with the keyboard, I was finally able to obtain the macro to set “Start/End Block” me with the help of a sighted person: in
fact the operations in question (access to the contextual menu and choice of the voice) are recorded only if performed with the mouse and not with the
keyboard. If this were an effect of the presence of the screen reader, I don’t know how to overcome it.

Works for me in Notepad++ v8.
My guess is that %userprofile% is invalid at some point.
@Wim-Gielis Did you try absolute path?

Also, what of your configs are stored in OneDrive folder? This one or something different?

Maybe at some point, the folder is locked because of the OneDrive sync which could be the problem.

Thanks for the very detailed responses.
Properties look like they might do the trick for me.
I will definitely read the Scintilla docs as i’m sure i haven’t implemented them properly.

@strata-council

Another option is to set the default or global font size to
a size to your liking. See settings->style configurator

@Steve-Signorelli said in unwelcome install dialog text:

Our industry suffers an inequality in our inclusion of female members and examples like this are corrosive to the efforts many of us put forth to help resolve the imbalance

I think one has to infer some things to consider that the “unwelcome” text is “harmful” to one specific gender? In light of recent media events, there may actually be no genders, furthering my confusion about your comment.

However, it is possible that the text you highlight in yellow is offensive to some, and I’m sure an acceptable substitute can be found.

Very nice! Well done

@Gary-Henry ,

Notepad++ is a text editor, not a WYSIWYG HTML editor.

Aside from View Current File In that Alan suggested, there are also “preview” plugins available. I use both “Preview HTML” and MarkdownViewer++, both of which will take HTML which is in the active editor tab and display it in a “preview pane” inside Notepad++ (MarkdownViewer++ has the benefit that it also works with Markdown files, and if you set up to use an external X-to-HTML converter, can do other rendered files). Using those plugins is not truly WYSIWYG, but it’s about as close as Notepad++ comes.

@Doug-Edmunds-0 said in Printing pages:

How can I find out which text is on page 3 for instance, or how many pages will print if I print the entire document?

I don’t think you can (from within Notepad++). I refer to an old post here
I don’t think there’s been any change.

As suggested in that post, consider a “Print-to-PDF” option and then you could view the resulting file and print ONLY the pages you want from there.

Terry

Awesome. Thanks for your reply. Worked perfectly

@G-Dev ,

If you are talking about the old plugin called Plugins Manager which hasn’t been supported in recent Notepad++ versions for more than 2 years (v7.5.9 was the last Notepad++ that Plugins Manager was compatible with), there is no support for that tool.

If you are talking about the builtin tool called Plugins Admin, which is now part of the Notepad++ source code: as far as I know, there is no stringent vetting or code analysis – plugins can be written in any programming language which can create a DLL (which means virtually any compiler-based language), and the developers of Notepad++ cannot be expected to be security experts in all languages. Neither the official docs (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugins/#plugin-list) nor the repo that Plugins Admin uses for generating the list of plugins (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList) describes the official decision process for how the developers decide what plugins to include.

That said, the Plugins Admin dialog lists the homeapge for each plugin it links to (or you can look in the repo for the list of pages and download links for each included plugin), so for any that are open source, you can feel free to check the source code yourself. I’d recommend more caution for any plugin that has a DLL but no source code shown. But there is the benefit that the Notepad++ community is reasonably large, and I am sure there would be a quick outcry if any plugin was poorly behaved or did something malicious.

To be more exact, my Find Dialog (minimum sized) with the 8pt (default Tahoma) font is 677 x 430 px and with the modified 9pt font is 772 x 430 px. The height is the same but as you noticed it is wider. 772/677 = 1.14 and 9/8 = 1.125 so the width is increased a little bit more than you would expect from just the change in font size but somehow the height is the same. Thanks for an interesting exercise. For me once I have the modified fonts, changing back and forth is basically just a registry edit and a reboot (though for others of course their mileage may vary).

Clearly i didn’t look closely enough!! Very sorry and thanks for your help

That’s Exactly I wanted Thank you man!
“Folding In Comment” It is this thing I wanted.😀

@Alan-Kilborn said in Changing the way replace works?:

You can paste it into the Find what box that way.

Actually this is wrong (sorry). You can’t paste it in. What you can do is select it as multiline text in Notepad++ and press Ctrl+f. Then the multiline data will go into the Find what box. It doesn’t really look like multiline data, but it is.

Ok. Thanks very much for your help. I thought i might have to parse the .bat file to get an expanded variable but think i am going to go with your suggestion and make a script that runs when the source file is loaded that executes the project.bat and saves of the variables i need.
That was a very good suggestion indeed. Thanks!
