@Thom-Orahim It’s already fixed in v7.4.1

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.

@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.

From your description of what goes on at your company I picture some managers with whips standing over the engineers, encouraging them to type/mouse faster…FASTER…FASTER!!!
:-D

right :D

The problem is to teach an engineer a new thing, that they have optimize in years. And now, we must take away their candys, because we don’t have enough UltraEdit licenses for all and don’t want to buy new licenses.

@Tod-Mar

as far as I remember it only supports include patterns.

@SamuelCalifornia Personally I wouldn’t cater to such stupidity, and yes that is stupidity. People who think childrens’ minds are so fragile they’ll just come apart at the mention of the word beer shouldn’t even be allowed in teaching. I cannot stand the sort of people who will try at great lengths to shield kids from the realities of life and pretend we live in a Disney cartoon. What, people drink beer?? Women have breasts?? Oh no, the humanity!!
