    Autocomplete bug in 7.6.2 and later?

    @Charlie-Fuller

    the missing autocomplete experience, might be due to the folder location changes of the newer notepad++ releases, causing the installer not to automatically select the autocompletion option when updating.

    (the old folder location was Notepad++\plugins\APIs, and the new folder location is Notepad++\autoCompletion\)

    the usual fix is to install notepad++ again, on top of your existing notepad++, and make sure that autocompletion is activated at the installer.
    (recommended version: 7.6.6)

    here are some details from a similar issue:

    please check if C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\autoCompletion\xml.xml exists. (folder location example of a default 32 bit install)

    if it does not exist, please download the 7.6.6. 32 bit installer from >>> here <<< ,
    or the 7.6.6. 64 bit installer from >>> here <<< ,
    and re-install it on top of your existing notepad++.
    important note: make sure that auto-completion files is selected when re-installing.

    if it does exist, please go to settings > preferences > auto-completion and check that function and word completion and function parameters hint on input are activated, as seen at the screenshot below:

    best regards.

    Yes. The only change necessary on this end was Tab settings going from [Default] to normal.

    The missing understanding was both the terminology where this setting was located from previous reply statements and the video of how different combinations come together.

    I appreciate your kind assistance.

    Thanks,

    Not sure [why] Plugin manager didnt’ remove it but Plugin Admin did

    Because Plugins Admin is built into Notepad++ v7.6.x and newer, and is compatible with the newest (v7.6.6); whereas Plugin Manager was an externally-maintained tool which is now incompatible with v7.6.x.

    Since you keep refusing to help us help you (ie, post the Debug Info), we cannot actually confirm your version number… but since you have Plugins Admin available, I assume it’s v7.6.x, and since you said you just upgraded to a new version, I am going to further assume that you upgraded to the most recent. But really, if you want our help, you’ll provide the info we ask for. If you don’t want our help, you’ll keep giving replies that ignore our advice and queries.

    (If you want to get rid of the 20min delay between posts, people will need to upvote you. I am guessing that won’t happen until you start showing a willingness to help us help you. For example, I am sure you could get the requisite two upvotes just by actually posting the Debug Info.)

    welcome to the notepad++ community, @Rohan-Gadalkar

    we need more information, like what files are open, and your debug information from the notepad++ menu ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard.

    we would also need details about your current settings > preferences > misc > file status autodetection.

    note: usually the save all option stays greyed out, if all files are saved and remain unchanged, but if a file gets an update from an external program, the save all option will reappear, as the file on disk might differ from the version opened in notepad++.

    best regards.

    So, in case anyone is having a similar issue, it was a Windows Defender problem. I guess it was in the last update that there is a Folder Access permission that was set to on. You can either turn it off or set notepad++ to be allowed access. Here is the link that fixed it for me:

    Name one other application

    Dude, you are seriously not understanding. Let me try one more time: Applications need something that sets them apart from other similar programs. For many many people and Notepad++, a core one of these things is the ability to exit with unsaved files. It makes no difference that other applications don’t do this. Since when do you have to be like the crowd to be correct/innovative?

    Again, I don’t use the feature. But I understand.

    @Andrew-Perpetua

    I’ve used it without issues on 1440p for quite a while. Unfortunately, I now have a 4k monitor (2160p) and the text is very significantly harder to read on it. Your 1800p is exactly halfway between a 1440p and a 2160p, and it appears fine. So it leads me to believe somewhere between 1800 and 2160 it gets more difficult.

    the windows scaling factor is independent of the physical resolution.
    a higher resolution will only permit you to see a larger area at the same scaling factor.

    the rendering stays the same, albeit your optical reception will depend on the pixel density, compared to your previous display.

    e.g. if your past display was 27" with a resolution of 2560x1440, the most probable visual satisfaction, for all previously used applications, would be achieved with a same size 27" screen, with four times the original resolution, which would be 5120×2880.

    so yes, you are absolutely correct, that the most pragmatic, cost effective, and most logical option, is to find other software that isn’t impossible to read.

    many thanks and best regards.

    @Alan-Kilborn

    yes, it has real attention.

    true, the significance has diminished a bit, as the worst thing that can happen to this feature of keeping the buffer after a reload, is to be reverted as suggested, if no-one can figure out and code a better performing and working alternative, than to outsource the undo buffer to disk, or clear the undo buffers manually, or clear them after a dialog triggered by a specific memory threshold.

    any ideas and/or commits are welcome, as we are in a stage of one group saying it’s a cool feature not to remove, and the other group is running into memory issues because of it.

    Hi all,

    Just an update: I have been using TextFX in the last 5 months and it does the job pretty well. Was too lazy to try the other methods members graciously provided.

    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.
