++@Phaewryn-O-x27-Guin, I’m glad you found a workaround, which will hopefully be useful to other NPP users.

However, a 64-bit application should be able to properly install in %ProgramFiles%, not in %ProgramFiles(x86)%. If there isn’t one already, someone should put in a github issue that show the steps necessary to reproduce the problem, and that shows that this workaround “works”, but is not a good long-term “solution”. It would be interesting, if possible, to give snapshots of the changes that are made to the registry in each step along the way (there are plenty of apps that show “registry differences” – because that might show where the bug comes from).

I personally haven’t made the switch to the 64-bit version yet, mostly because the plugins I use most have not been updated to 64-bit, and some might even be abandonware, so might never make the switch.

(My initial guess is that the installer has some discrepancy in bit-ness compared to the installed program, so sometimes uses the wrong value of the environment variable. But since I haven’t used the 64-bit NPP’s installer, my guess would be a WAG, not an educated guess nor even a SWAG*.)

Genius! Thank you!

@Alan-Kilborn: To the point of the second camp: I’m not sure whether dragging-and-dropping a file from a Windows Explorer into NPP is a Windows Explorer operation, or a NPP operation, or a strange mix, so I have my doubts whether there is anything you could do in the NPP code to optionally “intercept” that operation – but I’ve never coded a drag-and-drop interface, so I could be wrong.

@MAPJe71 & @Scott-Sumner: Yeah, there was a reason I didn’t explain that “command-trickery”: I had grabbed that command from some website a few years back, and had since forgotten exactly why they did the set trickery.

It seems to work even with the simplified cmd.exe /c (echo "%1" | clip.exe).

Ah, I did some searching, and found the page I think I originally found it from: http://www.askvg.com/registry-tweak-to-add-copy-as-path-option-in-files-and-folders-context-menu-in-windows/ : It turns out that the simplified cmd.exe /c (echo "%1" | clip.exe) will include the newline in the clipboard, whereas the set/p trickery will prevent the newline from being in the clipboard.

And I was also reminded in the article: with a default Vista/Win7/Win8 installation, there is already a “Copy as Path” in the extended SHIFT+RightClick menu – and without the newline – so you don’t even need my registry hack, it should just “be there”. (If you don’t notice it, it’s probably down near “Pin to Start Menu” and above the “Send To…”)

Ah, there we go: http://superuser.com/questions/295484/unhide-windows-7-context-menu-extras-permanently reminded me why I made my own version of the Copy As Path: some of the SHIFT+RightClick menu items can be “unhidden” so it goes into the normal RightClick menu (the extra “shift” annoyed me), but the “Copy as Path” stays hidden.

Make sure there is a character (e.g. newline, space) between the opening/left curly bracket and the slash.

SDC is TCL language. So you juste have to add sdc file extension in “Style Configurator/TCL/User Ext”

yes it seems frustrating but is in effect logical as explained by the other posters.
I find that when opening find then pressing keyboard down once, the previous search is always available.

It looks like a status bar. It might not be one, technically.

I think you may be right about this. When I took a look at doing some automation on its text via AutoIt3 some time ago, it resisted my attempts at reading its text, and did not look like a real status bar.

doesn’t have a builtin function but you could use run menu
and os utilities to do what you want to do.
