    @Guilherme-Gueringh ,

    Do you have your periodic session backup turned on?
    If yes, could you please try disabling it and see if the CPU usage is still high?
    Can you also check the CPU usage when you disable your network connectivity (all of it - Ethernet cable and WiFi)?

    @marlon-dana ,

    As far as I know, files that begin with RIFF and then binary data are Resource Interchange File Format, which are the “container” format used for WAV music files and similar binary data.

    Like I said, it looks like the CFG file at that name has been overwritten with data that isn’t normally in a .cfg. I cannot see how opening it in Notepad++ could have caused that. And if you open it with Windows Notepad (notepad.exe, that came with your OS), I am sure you will see the RIFF and some of the other plaintext, and not be able to see the original CFG data.

    OK guys, thanks for the info. Didn’t think NP++ was using any Codecs, but with the install dates matching and the depth of NP++ also couldn’t rule it out. Yes, I checked with the normal player I use, VLC, but they also Nope, all their codecs are built in. Thanks, time for more investigating …

    @peterjones said in How to search 1000+ lines, same syntax and words in hundreds of TXT files:

    If you are still interested in the Notepad++ with PythonScript plugin solution, let us know, the next time Alan logs in, he may be able to offer more advice on how to get that working.

    I thought some more about this, and I don’t think it is on-topic enough for Notepad++ in order to pursue it here. While a PythonScript could be written to do this, it is really unrelated to Notepad++ and is just plain Python, making it a better topic for some other forum.

    @fml2

    Well…bugs happen.
    I think you’re doing the right thing to avoid them.
    Use an older version and periodically upgrade to a newer (but not the newest) version that hasn’t been shown to have critical problems.

    @dennis-flory

    Suggest you show an example as what Peter tried was contrived because you didn’t, and may not illustrate the problem you are seeing. Please include copyable text as well as a screenshot of the bogus lexing you see in your next posting.

    Also, providing your debug info wouldn’t hurt either. For full details see HERE but the gist of it is go to the ? menu and choose Debug Info... and click the blue link for Copy debug info into clipboard.

    @peterjones than you for the answer.

    I agree that standard Windows associating methodology can cover a major number of usecases when working with text files. But sometimes Windows or some apps open files for you without asking what editor to use (under the hood they call default notepad in similar way like I specified above).

    It looks like the parameter -notepadStyleCmdline was created specifically for this “hack” with replacing default notepad, but there is something wrong with parameter processing in NPP.

    @mh-hilpert
    I have no experience with processing such large files from a network drive with Npp.
    To find out what is going on in such a case, I would run Wireshark and Procmon to track the behavior.

    If we’re going to have “automated context menus”, why not add a Copy to this one? :-)

    Like Peter, I don’t have a strong opinion on the OP’s annoyance. If one “likes to highlight the paragraph I am reading”, I’ll notice that the “Quote” menu thingy doesn’t obscure that paragraph at all.

    @alan-kilborn said in Autosave disable when you select multi instance:

    so I presume there is a good reason for current behavior?

    My guess is because if you have two instances that both have enable-session-snapshot turned on, then whichever instance is closed last will be the one whose session wins, and that would confuse/annoy some users and would guarantee data loss.

    Having a feature that guarantees unexpected data loss is a bad idea in my opinion, and is the reason that I would guess that the developers have prevented session-snapshot from being enabled on additional instances.

    @james-trowbridge Do you know about ascii codes, like ‘A’ is 41 hex is 65 decimal, and ‘a’ is 0x61 is 97?

    Hence, in ext mode, searching for single letter ‘b’ is the same as searching for either \x62 or \d098.

    @bo-chen

    Probably not many here are equipped to answer the part about “Mega”. I for one know not what that is.

    And/or is this a bug/flaw in the way notepad++ auto detects changes? Did the going back one hour at the daylight savings time trip it up?!

    Probably, as N++ doesn’t need any code to handle DST IMO. It isn’t a big deal.

    @dick-adams-0 said in NPP No Longer Remembers Previous Search Criteria:

    Why would NPP think I wanted new documents to start with the letter ell?

    It doesn’t.

    never saved the new document, so why did NPP keep presenting it with a single letter ell when I launched NPP? Is that normal behavior?

    N++ by default remembers unsaved changes to documents. Yes, it is normal behavior. You can change the way N++ handles this so that you get prompted to save/discard any unsaved changes when Notepad++ exits, if you want that behavior.

    I’d say what happened was that you somehow “fat fingered” an l into your document, you never noticed it, and it just “hung around” as an unsaved change. N++ had no way of knowing it was unintentional.

    Do I it wrong?

    You must have done it wrong, because the SaveSession/LoadSession feature works exactly as designed.

    Please note that Save Session only saves real files. Files that are unnamed/unsaved (the “new 1” and similar tabs) are not saved in the session file.

    Watch this video to see it in action, including seeing that the unsaved/unnamed file is not saved as part of the session:
