@0wlc0der currently I don’t see a way to reconfigure this and in addition I would think it might be more useful to check on start but running in the background. When exiting npp user should be asked about a new version ready to install with an option to skip this release at all or to postpone installation for another few days. Cheers Claudia

Minor correction to the sample output, forgot the “Sel” part earlier. It should actually look like this: Ln:229 Col:103 Sel: 0|0 +r

@raja-sekhara-reddy-vangala npp is not a writer/word/wordpad/ replacement. If you need such functionality then you better use one of those. Npp is an editor which colors different parts of a text based on a lexers’ rules. This is done every time you open the respective file and not stored if you close the file. So when you want to have a particular file always get colored based on such rules and non of the builtin lexers can be used, you need to create your own lexer by using the user defined language dialog. Cheers Claudia

What I guess I found out so far is the following First npp tries to detect if the file is a BOM file, if it is, it gets rid of the BOM signature and continues reading the file in converted utf-8. If it isn’t a BOM file it’s calling chardet library to see what codepage to use. If chardet returns, it is checked if it is reported to be utf-8 -> go on reading the file … if not, convert it to utf-8. But this, of course, happens only “virtual” for scintilla control. Cheers Claudia
