what do you mean by

Now I have no way to sort .txt files and .pl files into separate groups in Windows Explorer

the type of file keeps the same, regardless if associated by npp or not.

this reminds about an issue with config files.
As you uninstalled, did you delete APPDATA directory as well?
If you are using APPDATA configuration of course, maybe you wanna give it a try
to rename the %APPDATA%\notepad++ directory and then start npp.

offer an option to keep the plugin anyway

What I’ve done before to avoid this issue is you can rename your plugin. For example the installer removes DSpellCheck.dll I’ve just renamed it to DSpellCheck2.dll and it never warns me about it again :)

I did a few tests with BOM files and it seems that now “Encode in UTF-8” does remove the BOM. This makes total sense but it turned the previous logic upside down.

“I added a 32 bit plugin to 64 bit.”

That’s not going to work. The plugin must be recompiled by the author to be a 64-bit executable before it will work with 64 bit Notepad++.
