@Amol-Tarte Hi @PeterJones
The problem is solved after removing BigFiles plugin.
Sorry for delayed reply and Thanks.

@Will-Pittenger ,

If you did the copy of the …\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ (also known as %AppData%\Notepad++ 🛈 – and Notepad++ has not put anything in …\AppData\Local since at least v7.6.3, and I don’t remember it putting anything in there prior to v7.6.x) while the destination Notepad++ was open (either on the source or the destination), then when you closed Notepad++ it would overwrite what’s there.

If Notepad++ was not open when you did the copy, then that should have copied over your current session, which would include full paths to every file that was open, and it would include your periodic-backup directory for unsaved files (if you have that option enabled) and those new # files would also be listed in the session file… so it should have copied all that.

But of course, that only applies with standard installations of Notepad++ with the normal file locations, which may or may not be how you are configured, either on the old machine or the new.

@Will-Pittenger said in Matrix room for Notepad++:

you probably have a Gitter room

The “gitter room” was shut down some time ago for Notepad++. I can’t remember the reason why.

Anyway, why do you feel a “matrix room”, a “gitter room”, or a “discord room” would be great things for Notepad++?

@alan-kilborn
This is what I need. Appreciate your prompt assistance, many thanks Cheer!!!.

@peterjones Ah-hah! Hadn’t noticed that sub-option. Fixed.

I made a suggestion for a replacement function for stringSplit(), to allow proper handling of mixed line-endings in the sort, but I did it HERE rather than, well, here.

The OP never made this a true feature request.

But it did get a mention in an issue HERE, by me.

@fly-wire ,

The colors chosen for Python lexer/syntax highlighting can be found in Settings > Style Configurator, and selecting Python from the language choices. The default colors in the default theme were somehow chosen by the developers in ages past; the colors defined in other themes were chosen by the theme creators.

The code that handles parsing the Python text and deciding which characters to color with each style are compiled as part of the Notepad++ application, and cannot be changed without re-building Notepad++ from source

@sagesse-magezi

normal text is the only document type that does not have a
so-called lexer assigned to it, so no coloring and folding is done.
If none of the existing lexers, like Python, Yaml, etc., can be used,
then you have to create your own, using a user defined language (udl).
The only drawback I can see is that a udl cannot apply folding by
indentation, only by defining an open fold token like { and a closing one like }.

@massefur

first value changes from Normal Text File to User Defined Language

The user defined language (internally called Lexer) formats the document according to your settings. For example, if you have assigned a different font, font size, or font attribute in addition to the color, this can easily lead to a different layout, especially when using word wrap. What exactly the problem is is hard to say without knowing what you have done.

@cam

Looks like it may be fixed in the next release.

Cheers.

@rdipardo ,

The debug instructions don’t trash anything – they temporarily rename a folder. I believe it is a solid debugging plan to try to narrow down where the problem is coming from. There are times when the plugin is at fault, even if it’s not because of the 64bit-only change in Notepad++.

But since it bothers you, the paragraph now emphasizes 64bit for the v8.3 change:

in the 64bit Notepad++, v8.3 updated the communication rules between plugins and the application to better handle large files (>2GB) which required all 64bit plugins that used certain protocol calls to release a new version.

@peterjones said in Macro playlist:

I’ll add it to my “to fix” list

While working on PR #371, I realized that maybe the Macro > Run a Macro Multiple Times (which is a dialog I had never used) was what was meant by the “playlist”. But since that was confusing, I removed that phrase, and instead refer to the official name for that menu entry. Hopefully, that makes it more clear.

Thank you :-)

@sonia-jessica

See HERE.

@james-rosemary There is a patch to the jN plugin that solves the problem for me here:
https://github.com/sieukrem/jn-npp-plugin/issues/110

@save_humanrace said in Search window not good convenient:

No “Find previous” button.

And the window is too big. Make smaller.

This is a common complaint. Some active discussion HERE about it.

@epca ,

For more on binary files, and why it is unreasonable to expect a text editor to be able to search a binary spreadsheet (.xlsx) or word processor document (.docx) or PDF or any other such binary file, see this FAQ

@leonardo-dicaprio As PeterJones pointed out Notepad++ is a Windows native application. However, you can use Wine bottler or even PlayOnMac app (Free) on Mac to install Notepad++ on Mac. I have had the same requirement when I wanted to use Notepad++ on my iMac. So, I ended up making a video tutorial about it. Here is the link. (How to install Notepad++ on Mac). Hope it is helpful.

Few things to consider:

Since it is not a MacOS native app, the user experience will not be as smooth as other Mac apps. Also, usually on Mac, you have Command key that is used instead of Control key for common keyboard tasks. However, when you are using Notepad++ on Mac using PlayOnMac, you will still be using Windows like keyboard shortcuts. In fact, that is a good thing, since you don’t need to learn new shortcuts. However, it does feel a bit non-intuitive.

So, if you planning to use Notepad++ as your main developer text editor, I would refrain from that on Mac. (also, disclaimer, this video is from my youtube channel on Notepad++).

Hope it helps.

Hi, @alan-kilborn, and All,

Actually, I was inspired by this article :

https://www.rexegg.com/backtracking-control-verbs.html#skipfail

where it is said :

In effect, (*SKIP)(*FAIL) says: “Throw away anything you can match to the left of me.”

Please, visit this excellent regex site :
