@PeterJones said in Save as [type] lacks an option for .py (python) file:

The natural implementation would be for Notepad++ to include the extensions listed in all loaded User Defined Languages in addition to the native language file extensions

I agree 100% and have added my support to your request. I also think we should be able to add file extensions for languages we don’t have UDLs for, and I’ve mentioned that as well.

I would add that the LSP clients in Notepad++ are cool, but ultimately it is very hard for the single-digit number of developers working on them part-time to compete with the large teams of developers working on improving the LSP clients for other applications like Visual Studio and VSCode.

@Saiapatsu said in [feature request] Move tab to beginning / end:

Here are LuaScript functions for this, which don’t seem too difficult to port to other scripting plugins

Indeed; here’s a PythonScript version:

@Sonali-Sonu ,

End of version support dates

That’s not Notepad++'s “support” model. The support model is “if you find a bug, try the most recent version; if it’s not fixed, report the bug in the most recent version at the official issues pages”.

There will never be a “v8.4.6 bugfix” version once a version after v8.4.6 has been released. Bug fixes always go in the most recent release.

Nice work!

@Alan-Kilborn I was tinkering everything on that page but unfortunately couldn’t find what I was looking for. I’m new to NPP so excuse my lack of knowledge. Enabling each 4 ‘Fold Margin Style’ does the same: creates a very thin line around the page. “Border Width” does nothing changing value.
Actually what I’m looking for (green marked in the image below) is kind of like “Padding: Top”. Thanks for your reply.

@RH-Hutchins My advice for HTML, or anything, and NP++, or anything, is to aim small. If you type “aim small” into Google you will discover there’s a second part and it’s “aim small, miss small” but it all starts with “aim small.”

Work on understanding small pieces that are easy to chew and swallow. If you come across something that seems too large to consume comfortably then cut it into smaller pieces.

HTML in itself is a huge topic. Most of the web developers I have run across seem to know 1% or of HTML. When they need to work on a web page developed by someone else they often throw out the old/previous work as their 1% does not line up with the 1% of the previous developer.

As far as using NP++ goes, I myself use plain NP++ with no plugins or other special support for HTML. I test the HTML code using a web browser.

@PeterJones well i was wondering if its possible to fix but i have searched about this and apprently it can not be fixed so thats why its a dicussion abou the approach just seeing if others have founnd the solution for it

@PeterJones
I see, thanks for the reply.

@PeterJones Thank you!

@Foodland2023 said in Notepad++ delete 2 lines below a specific string:

Could you suggest any link which gives the detailed explanation of all these?

Yes. In fact, I already did. In my post above: the USEFUL REFERNCES in big bold letters led to links to the Notepad++ Online User Manual: Searching/Regex and to the “FAQ: Where to find other regular expressions (regex) documentation”. That rather gave you what you asked for two hours before you asked for it.

@wonkawilly It looks like you have found a good reason to get access to a newer computer and a more structured learning environment than youtube videos. Hopefully there are people in your life that can help and support you in that area.

To get the thread back on the Notepad++ topic, you could try posing the question “Is it possible to recompile Notepad++ on Windows NT 4.0?” or whatever version of Windows you have. Once you are able to generate an .exe file that works then tweaking it via changes to the source code is far easier to learn plus understand than doing the same from the ground up.

I thought Notepad++ could be compiled using gcc, which is more portable, but it’s possible the code has gone down the Visual Studio path long enough that gcc is no longer an option.

@vijay-kumar
This was the posters reply to solutions provided in a previous thread here.

Please don’t do this as someone reading your reply will have no idea what you refer to. You should have replied in the original thread you started.

I have provided links in both threads so readers will understand what was asked and the replies given.

@vijay-kumar
This poster replied to what they started here in another new thread here.

The replies appear to have satisfied them.

@mkupper Thank you for your thoughts on this. The strings are from hackers. They aren’t getting in. I wanted to have an automatic script to block them when they try since they try over and over. I know I can use regex to do that but I also wanted to see what they were looking for to see if it is something that might need tightening up. I would have a report that said something like, “10 attempts to access example.php”. But that seems not to be a simple thing so I will just block them with regex and leave it at that. Thanks, again.

@David-Shepherd Worked for me - thanks. The first time, when I right-clicked from Windows Explorer I selected “edit”, and the file opened in Notepad++ but the file didn’t appear in the taskbar for np++. Then I went to “Open with…” and selected it, and got it in the taskbar, and can pin it - just as you say.

@Dennis-Golding said in Files have vanished:

Any thoughts anyone?

I would suggest reading one of the FAQ posts here. The section titled Scenario: My (unsaved) files are missing! is particularly relevant to your problem.

Good luck
Terry

All the same, I think any feature request for a more system-integrated portable version is better placed with a project that deals exclusively with packaging. Scoop and winget are just the first two that come to mind. There’s even a close-sourced project distributing MSI installers.

@PeterJones said in Installer vs. zip in WIndows 10:

@mkupper

One issue is that it’s not clear if @donho has clearly defined the differences

Looking at this code, it is intentional (though maybe no longer applicable; I doubt he’s checked again on Win8 or later).

Thank you. The code looks good. There are some weird edge cases such if on an x64 system if you install an x32 version of Notepad++ in the x64 folder and try to make that installation a doLocalConf.xml portable installation then it would work as you wanted but for the wrong reason…
