Yes, there are plans. And some action too :)

Hosting the plugins is up to the individual authors, and since the 1.3 version of PM, github etc can all be used without any issue.

The current work is going into rehosting the XML list - whilst this is a tiny file (currently about 50kb), it’s downloaded a lot. Like, a serious lot.
It results in about 800GB of traffic per month. I’m going to be doing some work in PM itself to try and reduce that, but that might take some time (security is hard, and needs to be done carefully). Prior to that, I’m going to be moving the hosting from SF to a cloudflare CDN, which should hopefully take the brunt of the traffic, and then I’m in talks with a potential sponsor for the rest of it. Yes, that means there’ll be a logo in PM, but it will just be a static logo, and I think we can live with that.

I’m also working on making the updates more regular, via an automatic system. This will actually increase the bandwidth requirements, but hopefully with the other improvements, we should stay steady.

Thanks for bearing with us whilst I get this all organised.

Cheers
Dave

Hy Guy,
You’are completely true. Disabling plugins (with folder rename or with n++ start option -noPlugin) involve the loose of plugin shortcut configuration.
Thanks to my GitHub PullRequest (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/70), this problem will disappear.

The only program I feel the lack on Mac OS.

me too, plz fix

Hello Tbimbra,

I’ve never noticed this fact, because I usually work with the default Courrier New font

First of all, just have a look to my old post, on SourceForce forums, about the differences between the monospaced fonts and the other fonts, at the address below :

https://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331753/thread/5c8c669b/#2143

Now, let’s create, in a new tab of N++, a small text file, with the eight lines, below :

iiiii IIIII wwwww WWWWW 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice that the seventh line contains exactly 72 spaces (\x20)

Then, supposing that you previously choose 72 columns, in vertical edge settings, of the Settings - Preferences - Editing panel :

First, select these 72 spaces, at the seventh line of the new tab

Open the Style Configurator ( Settings - Style Configurator… )

Choose the language Global Styles

Choose the style Default style

Select, on the right, the Font name field

Use the Up and Down arrow keys, to change the current font

=> You’ll easily notice that :

The vertical edge line is between columns 72 and 73, ONLY IF the current font is a monospaced font

The physical width of the selection change, for all fonts, monospaced font or not

So, we can deduce that, in vertical edge settings, the number represents, rather, the number of spaces of the current font than the number of physical columns.

In addition, don’t forget that the physical width of a space is generally smaller than letters or digits, for NON monospaced fonts !

Here are two pictures with the Courrier New and the Lucida fonts

With Lucida Sans

P.S. :

BTW, could someone be so kind to tell me how to attach images, stored in my computer, to a NodeBB post ? As you can see, the two links With Courrier New and With Lucida Sans don’t work at all, infortunately :-(((

I currently use Firefox v38.0.5, on a Win XP SP3 computer

it looks like if the file is opened in another program, folding gets messed in notepad++
when I moved my file to another folder, same code was folded correctly
I was testing new v1 Atom editor, and only that file that was opened in atom had bugged folding in notepad++
