  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.

  @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!

  @donho said in Session bug in v7.8.5 ?: BTW could you share your secret to find how to reproduce that? If I tell you that, then all the magic is gone. ;-) Seriously, I just stumbled across it by accident. I usually work with both views and several documents in each view. When I tested it, I discovered it, after that it was curious to see if this is also true for other settings.

  @Michael-Vincent said in How to highlight the underlined squiggle words: Becoming more convinced this is a DSpellCheck optimization I guess you are correct, as to this it checks only the visible area.

  Win10x64, NPP 7.6.4 32bit, restoring last session not work after reboot

  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.

  Hi @mark-marques, @ekopalypse, @alan-kilborn and All, To control which plugin(s) is/are loaded on Notepad++ start : Close any opened N++ instance Reach your active plugins location For any plugin , NOT desired, simply change the name of its folder ( for instance, add a simple character at beginning or end of each name ! ) Restart Notepad++ For instance, my own 7.8.5 plugins folder contains the following subfolders : BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo If I want to open Notepad++, without, let’s say, the DSpellCheck and the Npp PluginDemo plugins, simply rename these 2 subfolders, like below : BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc -DSpellCheck ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport -NppPluginDemo OR BetterMultiSelection ComparePlus Config doc DSpellCheck_0 ElasticTabstops mimeTools NppConverter NppExport NppPluginDemo_0 Best Regards, guy038

  I had the same issue for PHP files. The solution was to include the opening tag <?. The file I was using was just a scratch bit of PHP thus no tag was included. The same is true for HTML files. The opening tag, <html would be required. Languages like Javascript, SQL, etc., that don’t require tags work as expected.

  Sorry people, here is the working link to the animated gif (couldn’t edit it in time): https://giphy.com/gifs/eKh1aKIxZOEUB2308F @astrosofista said in Removing Spaces after | sysmbol: Hi: OK, just for the non-regex oriented people in the list, let me suggest you an alternative approach to delete those unwanted blank spaces. This little thingy requires the BetterMultiSelection plugin to get the job done, as follows: In case you couldn’t read the instructions while the gif is playing: Insert a multi-selection ( Click, Shift + Alt + Down Arrow ) Press the End key Then, Control + Left Arrow Finally, press Back-Space.
