Thanks to all three of you. I understand the reasoning now.

Notepad++ > Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Follow Current Document

I’ve always found this choice to be the most reliable and (thus luckily) the one that makes the most sense to want to use.

Maybe there is a “disconnect” about how you think this is supposed to work? Maybe walk us through an example? Otherwise, I think it is working fine for the vast majority of users, so I don’t think there’s anything else anyone can do to help.

Hello,@guy038
Follow this steps,To Sorting with a “column mode” selection

Step 1:- Line Up Columns using the TextFX Plugin

Step 1 :- Select the pipe (|) character that separates the “columns” and copy it to the clipboard:
Step 2 :- Select all the text and use Line up multiple lines by (Clipboard Character):
Step 3 :- We have now lined up the text using the pipe (|) character to make it look like a table with columns

Step 2:- Move and Sort Columns

Step 4:- Use Alt+Mouse Dragging or Alt+Shift+Arrows to select the “colums” you want to move.

Step 5:- Drag the columns to the start of the first line. You can also Cut (CTRL+X) the selected columns, move the caret to the start of the first line, then Paste (CTRL+V) the columns there.

Step 6:- Select all the text and use Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending:

Step 7:- We have now sorted the text alphabetically by the first “columns”:

I hope this information will be usefull for you.
Thank you.

@Pierre-de-la-Verre said in 7.8.8 does not show the update to 7.8.9:

bug or feature?

feature, and also a FAQ

There’s a delay in time before that gets turned on.
This is to prevent mass early adoption in case a huge flaw is discovered in a new release.
This has been somewhat mitigated by the “release candidate” approach that has been taken lately, but I suspect only a very small fraction of even those that follow Notepad++ closely even try the “RC”.

@Tony-Guy-Parker In settings for this plugin you can check:

[]Persist clipboard list across sessions

and all clipboard will be save to NPP\plugins\Config\MultiClipboardSession.dat. You can manually copy/restore this file if necessary (by hand or other tools).

@Hans-v-Buitenen Bug for this https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/7931.

You should try this plugin https://github.com/funap/npp-explorer-plugin, it has some alert for such case:

Hi, you can restore the deleted word files for the backup folder, but if the files not there then try a free utility program like recuva, stellar data recovery free edition, tesdisk. These utility programs are able to recover deleted files efficiently. Thanks

There are cases where Project save wrong path:

@donho It would be worth exploring it because I can see that the more people noticed this :)

@John-Smith-2 ,

This sounds like a feature request. This forum is for discussion. Our Feature Request FAQ explains where to go for actual feature requests.

@Lyoid-Fussell said in XML Duplicates:

Is there an easy way to search an xml file for duplicate entries?

Hard to say without example data. However one method could be to work on a copy of the file as this would be a destructive test.
First remove all lines of code except the one you want to test on, assuming it contains lines rather than just lots of code all bunched together.Sort the lines so duplicates are together. A regular expression could easily spot duplicates.

Note this is just a high level description. To provide an actual process requires you provide actual example data. To insert examples, first insert them into the posting window, then highlight them and press the </> button above. This puts a black box around the examples preventing the website from potentially mangling the data.

Oh, I see. Well, that’s better than nothing. Thank you.

I don’t know if this is the correct place to suggest it but, in any case, perhaps Notepad++ could be updated to automatically open the find window and inject the search string to make the whole thing more intuitive.

@PeterJones said in How to update the portable version?:

it would be nice to have the .model. version for config.xml (especially) and (also nice) contextMenu.xml, shortcuts.xml, and functionList.xml.

Wouldn’t these just be the files contained in the zip for the portable release for any given version?
Yes, I know that OP is probably looking for something a bit “easier”. :-)

You have to manually generate a list containing links to the icons you want to use.

I think you understand.

@Waka-Waka906 ,

It flags conflicts for you, but doesn’t stop you from having conflicts. When there is a conflict, Notepad++ will pick one of the conflicting actions and apply it. There is anecdotal evidence that it picks the first one it comes to when doing some list of processing, but you cannot control which one occurs. I even vaguely remember one case when multiple actions may have been taken, but I cannot guarantee that will work.

In general, it’s a bad idea to have conflicts, because you cannot control whether one, some, or all of those actions occur when you use the hotkey. But if you’re willing to live with the ambiguity, feel free to leave the conflict there – Notepad++ won’t stop you.

If you want to guarantee that multiple actions occur with the same shortcut, record a macro where both actions are explicitly invoked, then assign your desired keystroke to the macro rather than to the individual actions.

@I-neuw said in A few yes or no questions about Np++:

block search
block sort
block copy
block cut

But, if we are considering the normal stream block here, instead of the aforementioned column block, then YES, all 4 of these operations are supported.

@patrickdrd said in Watched topic email notifications?:

you could use rss

Workable solution, and I’m surprised I didn’t think to look for that option myself. Thanks. Though email would get my attention faster.
