  I took a look at the Defined Language Collection repository. Alas, apparently no one has added an entry for Julia. I’m not an experienced user of Julia, so I’d be a poor candidate to produce an entry for Julia. Surely some NotePad++ users must be using it for Julia code. What language are they specifying?

  Copying the userDefineLangs to %ProgramData% does not work. And installing the whole application to %ProgramData% is a really bad idea security wise and will be blocked by AppLocker anyway.

  @mere-human From my recent discussion with Don and as Alan mentioned, Don prefers the opinions of “normal” users and to get his attention, those users need to open issues on github. Linking to previous discussions here in the community could be counter productive.

  how many useless controversies, as usual. I don’t really understand what’s suspicious about my request… I repeat it is a personal file of mine, and it is nothing so evil as it has been painted by those who have started this whole discussion. I really do not understand this totally inappropriate reaction. and perhaps only thing, you are right to say that here many ask for help while perhaps the real intent of this forum is to talk about the notepa++ program, but it is also true that many other users here ask how to solve their problems with reg-ex and other solutions, I am not the only one asking for help on this. Having said that then it is up to you to help or not, responding or not to the various posts. but having said this all the other controversies about a potentially legal file or not i find them really superfluous and useless, as already said a time ago …

  @gstavi said in Windows XP support being dropped...how do people feel?: With all due respect to the hard work being poured into Notepad++, older versions can edit text (or view logs) just fine. There’s some wisdom here. Yea, if you’re going to use an ancient OS that is no longer updated, why get all frazzled about not being able to have its latest version not run? Thus: Run an old OS…run an old N++. Maybe I am overestimating the user community reaction to the devs decision.

  @Mrtnkbg said in The Select folder window is positioned with Ok and Cancel buttons outside the screen: instead of the usual(?) windows standard which resets windows/pop-ups to the default size during the next application session I’m not sure that is a “windows standard”. And that behavior would annoy me. Example: I have my Find window positioned on a different monitor than my maximized main N++ window. If, after a restart of N++, my Find window appeared in the default (e.g. new install) location – centered on the N++ main window – I’d be one unhappy user.

  @Dick-Douglas You can try the Customize Toolbar plugin, but some people have found it balky. Ctrl+Alt+s is the default shortcut keycombo – that’s a fairly fast option. Also, pressing Alt+f, releasing that and then pressing “a” is pretty fast. And SaveAs is present on the menu that appears when you right-click a tab. If all that is not to your liking, it is also possible to add it to the right-click context menu (that appears when you right-click on the text you are editing), although I hardly see the advantage to that over right-clicking the tab. A lot of options presented here, without having to resort to using a plugin to get a toolbar icon…

  @Alan-Kilborn said in Line wrap in the current version: So I came up with an In Selection Replace All action that will do the joining of lines and reduce any leading indents down to one space I didn’t explicitly say it, but hopefully it was understood that I would use that on groups of lines that start out indented at the same level, NOT on a whole big set of lines that has various sections indented to differing levels. That wouldn’t work (well, it would work but wouldn’t provide a desired outcome).

  Hello, @mathenay-lankou and All, Here is a regex solution : Open your list of strings. For instance : France Table Street England StreetView Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) SEARCH (?-is)^(Street)$|(.*(?1).*)|(.+) REPLACE $0(?1 100%)(?2 50%)(?3 0%) Tick the Wrap around, preferably Select the Regular expression search mode Click on the Replace All button => You should get the expected list, below : France 0% Table 0% Street 100% England 0% StreetView 50% If I’m on the right way, I’ll explain you the regex details, next time ;-)) Best Regards, guy038

  Why Does the app take so long to start?

  @Nick-Brown said in Why Does the app take so long to start?: …I have built my own version of Notepad++ with some enhancements so that it does not populate the full directory structure when loading but does so on demand, so initially it only loads the top level directories and only loads the next level sub directories and files when the directory is double clicked and so on and so on so that only the directories and files I want to see in this session of Notepad++ are scanned as I require them. Sounds like a nice feature. Have you submitted it as a change to Notepad++ so that everyone could benefit from it, if accepted?

  @Alan-Kilborn Yes, I have seen this effect, too. It seems like character spacing is slightly smaller when DirectWrite rendering is activated. I tested some minutes ago with Npp v7.9.1 and saw that with DirectWrite the Scintilla window showed 85 characters and with standard rendering it showed 83 characters. In pixels the difference was 17 px. Here are screen shots from my test, captured with a screen magnifier: Unfortunately this issue causes the Horizontal Ruler plugin to draw an inaccurate ruler - Scintilla’s edge line is drawn at the correct position (after column 80) but the plugin’s ruler shows column number 88 at this postion:
