  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.

  Hello, @app-guide and All, Easy with regexes ! Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H) Type in [\d.]+$ in the Find what: zone Type in \r\n$0 in the Replace with: zone    OR    \n$0 if you works on an Unix file Tick the Wrap around option Select the Regular expression search mode Click on the Replace All button Voila :-)) Notes : The [\d.] regex syntax searches for a single character which can be, either, a digit (\d) or a dot ( . ) Then, the [\d.]+ looks for a non-null range of characters, which can be, either, a digit or a dot And the [\d.]+$ tries to match the greatest non-null range of digits / dots till the end ( $ ) of current line In replacement, we first write the line-break characters ( \r\n or \n ), followed with the overall search match ( $0 ) Best regards, guy038

  Hello @luuk-v, @william-james and All, All Notepad++ versions, since the first v1.0 to the last v7.8.6 can be obtained from : http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/ In your case, @luuk-v : First, click on the 6.x/ link Then, click on the 6.9/ link Choose the classic installation, with the ....installer.exe or a portable installation with the other links You may verify your download with the npp.6.9.digest.sha1 control sums file Best Regards, guy038

  @jeronymite2 said in XAML Regions Not Supported: <!–#region MyRegion–> <!-- Lots of XAML! --> <!–#endregion–> Npp uses scintilla as a lexer for languages and avoids modifying individual languages in order to make upgrading to a newer scintilla version as easy as possible. This means that scintilla has to do it to be added to npp one day

  Hmm… Seems to work OK today - regardless of filename or “no file” saved yet… Thanks for the pointer to the “correct” place though :-)

  @Ward-Scott , There’s a FAQ for that: in short, docx aren’t text files, and you cannot expect Notepad++ (a Text Editor) to be able to search for literal text in a binary-encoded format like docx. Notepad++ search-in-files searches for literal bytes (or multibyte characters) in the files on disk, but the docx compresses and otherwise encodes text so that the bytes in the docx file are indistinguishable from random noise to Notepad++.

  @D-Mishra the only source I’m aware of is the official documentation here. It might not handle everything but I would say most of it.

  @Michael-Vincent said in Which plugins would you recommend to install?: you can get a pretty capable IDE-lite (similar to M$ latest offering everyone seems to be going ga-ga over) It is a fairly remarkable achievement (N++), given the small number of developers that work on it, compared to the number that must work on M$'s offering. N++ Plugins are a bit of a different story as they all have different authors, but the core product is what I’m talking about (so I guess I’m changing the topic a bit). Sure, there are A LOT of smallish bugs, and there’s a reluctance for big-change by the author, but maybe this reluctance actually helps keep it great (as opposed to the other way – letting massive changes in, leading to instability and possibly a real mess!). Can not stress that enough to new users But, scripting is not for everyone, and in fact seems to scare a lot of people. Plus, people just want to get the job done (and rightly so), not fuss around.

  @Luca-Andrea-Ludovico said in XML Tools - Validation problem with inline DTD: Now I have just updated the plug-in to version 3.0.4.2, and it seems not working anymore: it asks for an XML schema (XSD). The dialog says: I would open an issue at the XML Tools Github issue tracker if you haven’t done so already. Also, provide a link to this thread in your issue there. I’ve had no experience interacting with that developer directly, but there have been a flurry of XML Tools updates in the past few months as it seems he migrated to a new XML engine (Replacement of libXML with MSXML) back in January this year (according to Github commits). Since January 2020, there have been 14 new release (counting the latest pre-release). He certainly seems active and committed to the project - and thankfully, since I use XML Tools plugin as well, although maybe not to the degree you are. Good luck! Cheers.

  Does this method hold up for later versions and/or 64 bit. I am finding that 7.8.6 64 bit does not drop anything in the local installer folder so there is nothing to xcopy? Stangely it seemed to work even though nothing to xcopy, but did not work if I just installed to ProgramData and did nothing else…

  @Chris-Blake When you say keeps failing, what does that mean? Npp doesn’t do anything but you can still work with it? You see the busy pointer and Npp isn’t responding anymore? How large are 44,150 pages? Which Npp version are you using? (Please post the debug-info from ? menu) How do you copy the data and is this textual data only?

  @Michael-Vincent said in Two suggestions: The location navigate plugin does this - colors its color selector buttons to the chosen color I had forgotten about this; truly I set Location Navigate up one time long ago, and never looked at it again. I think coloring a button would be a hard thing as I think Windows likes to control this, but a swatch to the left like I show doesn’t seem too bad. Note that I won’t go so far as to say easy.
