This is a well known issue. It already has been reported in the issue tracker of the old SourceForge repository (see here) and it also has been reported in the issue tracker of the GitHub repository (see here). In no case it is caused by what ever changes in Notepad++, I’m facing this issue with v7.5.6, too.

noted. thanks.

If I close a file, I does not get opened next time I start npp. How to force to open certain files each time npp opens.?

don’t close the file. save it, and let it remain open in npp. it will automatically open next time you run npp.

or you can see in Menu - File - Recent files.

Thanks.

you can find the available id’s and names for notepad++ here.

example id’s:

<Item id="41001" name="&amp;New"/> <Item id="41002" name="&amp;Open"/> <Item id="41019" name="Explorer"/> <Item id="41020" name="cmd"/> <Item id="41003" name="&amp;Close"/> <Item id="41004" name="Clos&amp;e All"/> <Item id="41005" name="Close All BUT Current Document"/> <Item id="41009" name="Close All to the Left"/> <Item id="41018" name="Close All to the Right"/>

the official portable version is the one you should use, as it is supported and does not contain any modifications we do not know of or which could be incompatible with a newer release of notepad++ portable.

i suggest you use the official portable version from here and, if you like, modify/customize it to your needs.

Is it normal when you buy a code signing certificate, you just receive the certificate without being controlled your identity?

i’ve seen that too, some authorities seem to only verify a random amount of their ssl cert request identities or organizations.
seems like even if they pretty all are extremely overpriced at the moment, they lack the interest to pay for more employees ;-)

10 days after I receive the token, and surely the certificate is under my official name - it should be “Notepad++” instead.

afaik. some authorities only issue a cert to a physical entity, a person or organization, not to a product name or trade mark.

Do you have any good reference to buy code signing certificate (for Microsoft) ?

unfortunately at least i don’t know any at the moment.
i used to purchase my code certs from startssl for a very affordable price of €59,- for 3 years, but they don’t exist anymore and i can’t afford to buy one for 500,- a single year or so for my private uses.

if anyone knows any affordable and flexible cert source like startssl was, which also allows an issuer alias name instead of a person’s real name or legal entity, im very interested too.

Thanks Alan; both of these solutions work…

Maybe this and that might give some hints.

welcome to the notepad++ community.

i haven’t tried out myself, if the speech plugin still works in notepad++ 7.6.2, as this plugin was last updated in 2008, but you can give it a try, by putting the SpeechPlugin.dll into this location:
%PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\SpeechPlugin\SpeechPlugin.dll

enter %PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins in your explorer
(which will probably lead you to C:\ProgramData\Notepad++\plugins) create a new folder called SpeechPlugin copy SpeechPlugin.dll into this folder restart notepad++ (if it was running at that point)
