  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.

  @guy038 in case of overlapping matches Well, I meant non-overlapping matches of course. Often while marking data it is simpler to come up with 3 or 4 successive marking operations on different data in order to capture everything you want; coming up with one regex, while perhaps an interesting exercise, would likely be distracting from your at-hand task.

  Suddenly the light bulb went off… Click Plugins > Compare > Settings and then experiment with the colors to find a background color you like for mismatched lines.

  @Alan-Kilborn said in Need the ability to have fixed-width line number column: Well, apparently I run with line numbers disabled in the Preferences, and then I do this in my Pythonscript startup: THAT’S AWESOME! And for us Python impared: “PerlScript”: for $e (editor1, editor2) { $e->setMarginWidthN(0, editor->textWidth($SC_STYLE{STYLE_LINENUMBER}, "_999999")); } Cheers.

  @PeterJones Thanks for the repro work! I had a strong suspicion that the location of <LanguageAutoComplete> is hardwired (why would it not have been included in <UserLocations> if there wasn’t some reason - presumably technical - for it?) Frankly, I consider it a Security issue to have user configurable files in %ProgramFiles(x86)% (I’m not alone in this regard!). Now on my machine Controlled Folder Access is enabled and I’m not sure how that interacts with UAC folder virtualisation (VirtualStore) for x86 apps and I’m not about to find out by experimentation. I’ll give it a few days then log a (security) bug.

  @PeterJones It is not always convenient like this. Perhaps today I am lucky, to meet you. I am using google to translate. And my question was brief, so Google did a good job. Once again very thank you for this

  @PeterJones said in Open files tabs - auto-sorted how?: I’d suggest an external macro-defining application, such as AutoHotKey (which I never use, but have heard good things about) OK, I bite. I scripted something related to this Window... menu item a couple of weeks ago —wanted a list of all the open tabs—, so here is my attempt (works fine here :) #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. ; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory. #IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad++ !w:: WinActivate ahk_exe notepad++.exe ahk_class Notepad++ WinMenuSelectItem, A, , Window, Window... Sleep, 100 WinActivate, Windows SetControlDelay -1 ControlClick, Button4, Windows Sleep, 100 ControlClick, Button5, Windows WinClose, Windows return #If This AutoHotkey script only works if Notepad++ is the active application —as the #IfWinActive directive stats— so it cannot interfere with other applications. Fire it pressing Alt + W, the same key combo that opens the Window... window. Have Fun!

  Had a similar issue with “session.xml” resetting. However, there are differences: This time, the Windows bootup sequence here had changed from the usual, it now requested my user password, as until then the policy was to go straight to desktop. Notepad is set to run at startup along with one or two "TSR"s, however they never launched this time. Of interest was Event 1073: The attempt by user “User” to restart/shutdown computer “Computer” failed And the usual Event 455 Edb.log thing. Now what really happened was N++ did not close at Windows shutdown as one of the files was unsaved. The shutdown was delayed for as much as two hours without my knowledge then. Amazingly, got the save dialog again on bootup, and promptly confirmed it. Notepad launched fine with all the files in the MRU preserved. No problem! What happened after that is unclear- after futzing about with other programs and windows, there popped up a new N++ package update MessageBox- don’t know how long it was sitting there, but before confirming I noticed all the MRU files in the (still running) N++ had gone. Not sure what happened there as there was zero interaction with Notepad until seeing the update prompt. Of course, updating N++ later never restored the list. Given all this, there may be a case for the N++ to do a filesize check on Session.xml before and after a package update- if indeed that was ever assumed to be the issue. Difficult one to trap, Thanks.

  Hello, @BDz48, @gurikbal-singh, and All, Don’t forget to select the Regular expression search mode for a correct result of the @gurikbal-singh’s regex Now, if you do not want a match when the number 6.. is surrounded with other numbers as, for instance, in text 497954316579791310932, use the regex \b(6\d\d|700)\b Best Regards, guy038

  @astrosofista Yes, that is exactly what I need. It seems that there are some symbols I cannot write . It replaces the color or does not display when accompanied by another symbol.
