    Have you tried the option:
    Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Use new style save dialog (without file extension feature)

  • Search and replace

    Hi guys,

    I don’t think N++ is loosing anything. Just on the contrary - recently the code was greatly refactored and that’s a lot of work (unpleasant one).

    @David-Bailey, I understand your point and concern - there might be other more useful features / improvements / bug-fixes that need the developers’ attention although it is subjective opinion too. That’s true. And you are right that a discussion on the forum about what to be fixed / improved would provide a good feedback. It would create new problems of course connected to the fact that someone will find a feature useful and another will insist on having something else (which sometimes may lead to endless talking just in the sake of it, but these forums are no chat). Besides, there is already the ‘Feature Requests’ forum that is meant to get feedback from the users. And frankly speaking in the latest versions Don is trying to fix what many users are complaining about - the Multi-line Tab behavior that moves the active tab’s line to the top. He also provides a new feature to the editor - the tab preview. You can disable it. Just because you are not going to be using something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. And of course everything new in software creates new bugs that are in turn hunted down and fixed. It’s a normal process you know that. I personally don’t find the new tab preview feature useful and I’m not using it (that’s also the case with the doc preview). But one might find it handy if he / she has many opened files with hard-to-remember names - having a preview (content excerpt / context) might help to find the right doc more easily. Just a thought.

    I know Don is stubborn. In the past I’ve felt a bit frustrated when he had rejected some of my pull requests that I (and other users) have found very useful. But N++ is his creation and he has his own perception of what it should look like. He also has the final word, that’s normal. And coding N++ is something he is doing because he likes to do it. Fixing some difficult and messy part of the code is not as inspiring as adding a new feature or realizing a new idea. That’s understandable.

    @Parpaluck209 ,
    If there weren’t programming addicts you wouldn’t have a free software at all. But you are still asking for a good free text editor.
    Those people are doing it for their pleasure and you benefit from that. They are not obliged to do boring and unpleasant work just because you need that. They’ll do (and code) what inspires them. It’s that simple.
    If you are not a kid that wants to play with Don’s toy then don’t. Be mature. It’s your choice.
    He’ll code for free what he wants - it’s his choice.

    Best Regards

    @Jozsef-Szasz-Fabian Unusable? In what way? The tabs should be working fine in v7.4.1. What tab behavior are you talking about?

    I have a problem with this feature also. A fresh install of 64 bit V7.3.3 produces highlighted HEX and a collapse function on data blocks in the same segment address (great!). But on another machine the (older) 32 bit install didnt show the features. So, fresh install of 64 bit V7.4.1 - and the Intel HEX \ Tek features still not available.

    To be clear, the correct language (“Intel HEX”) shows up in the “Language” menu of both. But on the non-working one, there is no style available for Intel HEX on the “Settings -> Style Configurator” menu in the Language box…

    I have hexdumped the stylers.model and langs.model files on both systems, and can confirm that there are (identical) entries for Intel Hex and Tek Hex on both systems - but the newer 7.4.1 install still wont highlight HEX files…

    UPDATE: seems first time I un-installed, I “kept custom settings”. tried again, this time not keeping custom settings, and new install of 64 bit 7.4.1 highlights - yay!

    So hope this helps anyone else with this problem - NPP gurus, you will be able to see whether this is expected, or “correct functionality”. I don’t know what got “fixed”, but it is “a solution”. If there is a simple explanation, I would be glad to know it, for the future.

    Me, I’m just glad that i have yet another useful feature in an already superb piece of (free) software - well done NPP contributors!

    For CCompletion issue, see https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/31895/. The last version of the plugin seems to be 1.19 without an update since at least 2011-08-01.

    @Scott-Gartner

    This was discussed very recently here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13835/request-yes-to-all-when-open-files-are-changed

    Not sure if anyone followed through to check to see if there is already an open issue on that, or made one if there wasn’t…

    C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config opens the 32bit side… in Notepadd++

    but you can use
    C:\Windows\Sysnative\inetsrv\config

    which will get you the 64bit side from a 32bit app.

    I’ve suffered a similar catastrophe a year or so ago. What happened is that I hit Ctrl + S to save a file in a dynamic ClearCase view. It just so happened that at that exact moment, our ClearCase server decided to take a nap or something. At any rate, Notepad++ froze for a good few minutes while waiting for the file access to complete. Then it unfroze, and suddenly the file was completely empty! Even the original content (i.e. prior to my edit) was gone. Now the last part is no biggie, as a simple undo-checkout in ClearCase was enough to restore the original content, but my changes were irretrievably lost.

    I’ve had such server hiccups happen when I was editing code in Visual Studio as well, but unlike Notepad++, Visual Studio does not “forget” the content of your file when it happens but merely pops a warning that the file could not be saved.

    That’s it ! its worked perfectly, the behavior is fine now, I can have 1,000 lines highlighted and it opens up the new instance without any message boxes.

    Thanks so much for your time and effort.

    @Sophist-UK

    not sure if you are aware of this but there is already something implemented
    which, more or less, does what you want. See Run menu Get php help.
    Those entries are stored in shortcuts.xml file and can be modified to your needs.
    (file is either available under %APPDATA%\notepad++ directory or
    under installation directory - depends on your setup)

    In addition there is a plugin called LanguageHelp which offers similar functionality.

    Not 100% what you’ve asked for but maybe sufficient.

    Cheers

    @Michel-Feinstein

    @Claudia-Frank do you know if this bug has been already assigned to someone?

    I’m not part of the development team so I cannot say if someone is currently working on it.
    But when looking at github open issues it doesn’t look like it has high priority.

    Cheers
