Thanks! That clears things up for me. I’m a bit richer now!

@guy038 said in Poor-man's "regex favorites" in Notepad++:

Your search regex|(*F)\Q REPL:Your replacement regex

Nice, one Guy!
I’d like the original (?#...) one better, because it is more readable (once one knows that it is a “comment”), except for the problem I noted with the closing parens.
Because of that limitation, |(*F)\Q is definitely better here.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Marked text manipulation:

Copy and cut of selected text would jam all of the text together if it were on a selection basis (probably not really useful that way).

Yes, you are right. Up to now, I’ve used my script only for deleting and editing the selections. But especially being able to multi-edit all occurences of a search term or overwrite them by multi-paste vastly increases productivity.

I had a thought that it might be valuable to better state the precedence of options that I mentioned earlier. Let me give it a go, in the form of a pseudocode flowchart:

Count option rules: if "In selection" is ticked Count will be occurrences within the selected text (of a single, non-column-block) selection else if "Wrap around" is ticked Count will be occurrences within the entire document else if "Backward direction" is ticked Count will be occurrences from the start of document to the (main) caret else Count will be occurrences from the (main) caret to the end of the document

The use of “(main)” is important if you have multiple carets active at once (i.e., multi-editing enabled).
You only have one “main” caret, which is the most-recent one you created.

Hi @Terry-R

You’re right, my bad. I misread the whole thing. Hope that OP wasn’t fooled by my post.

@Ekopalypse said in Perl subroutine calltips - with PythonScript:

Just to make clear, this function is not really needed.

That worked!

@PeterJones

It was a wishlist item and my wishlist doesn’t trump pressing needs. Too often the perfect is the enemy of the good.

I don’t know what’s involved in ongoing Notepad++ development, and whether it would have been a, “hey, good idea, I’ll whip that together in 10 minutes and be done with it” or if it would be, “hmm, we’ll put together a committee to do a needs analysis prior to committing it to the product roadmap and tasking several developers to develop the unit tests and blah blah blah.”

Either way, my life is 90% workarounds, so I’m fine with it.

@Justin-Tolearn said in Updating version looses cached documents in the editor.:

I don’t know if this is a common behaviour I’ve not noticed before, but all documents that were in the previous version of the editor but NOT saved, were lost.
Is this normal?

It’s not common/normal, but we have heard instances of that before, so it’s not unheard-of, either.

As @Alan-Kilborn said, anyone who tries to upgrade any software package without saving any active work first is just asking for trouble.

@Ekopalypse Thanks. I removed and reinstalled XML Tools and that fixed it.

@JasonJDooley ,

You already asked that and I already answered.

If you need more help, reply in the other thread.

ok , ty for guidance.

Hmm…
Don’t know what I did , but now it works .

@PeterJones Thank you for your heads up.

@mattesh Does it work now for you?

@Belteshazzar-Diaz said in Where do feature suggestions go?:

suggest a “favorite fonts” feature

IMO developers aren’t going to spend cycles on such a feature.
Font is something you change probably once and then forget about it.
Devs want to spend time on “bigger wins”; feature improvements and bug fixes that will impact many users as they constantly use N++.

But, go ahead, by all means, you are free to request what you’d like to see. :-)

i fix but i disabled all
this is for fix -> https://gyazo.com/3d72577d822a430fd55b080c1676effe
Thanks Peter

@Jozsef-Szasz-Fabian ,

This was noticed back in February (see previous discussion) and an official issue was created as #7946. You might want to upvote and/or comment on the issue to try to get more traction from the developers.

@Ray-Hamel ,

Put the extension (no dot) in the Ext entry for your UDL
8803e092-7da9-437c-b015-913a1e356545-image.png

That was also explained in the UDL documentation already linked.

I was experiencing this problem when I accidentally installed the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version. The 32-bit version has a bug that 1 out of 3 Npp startups result in freeze. I tested it on 4 computers.

That worked like a champ! Thank you ever so much!

@un-pogaz

I fully understand the Explorer right-click concept.

There is also the factor of how often you do this (set up a folder as workspace).
I have had the same folder set up this way for several years now; hasn’t changed.
But, everyone’s different.
I just wouldn’t have a high expectation that this kind of thing is in the upper parts of the dev’s todo lists.
