All,

Please do not post content generated by ChatGPT or other such systems. It is harmful, not helpful, to the Community.

In this specific case, the content was just completely unhelpful – presumably, it was generated by just typing in the title, rather than the content of the actual question, so it completely missed the point.

But because such AI systems have no fact-checking involved – all they do is, based on all their historical text training input, they guess what text is likely to come next. Based on that, they could easily give advice that is plain wrong or even dangerous to follow.

Thank you

@PeterJones This also happen’t to me. Trying to use login via my Github account, but got an error, This site can’t be reached (see output in PS!).
Anyway, got an email from github:

... A third-party OAuth application (Notepad++ Community) with user:email scopes was recently authorized to access your account. ...

The link was already made even though the Auth site couldn’t be reached. Revoked Notepad++ Community access from my github account. I was logged in, but I deleted my account since I had revoked access to my github.
Using my google account to login worked but after ~1 hour and a half, I’m still waiting for an email confirmation?!!!

PS! Tried again, through my Profile to change “Single Sign-on Services” association from Google to Github.
Still got the message (Note! XXX… replaces possible privacy revealing tokens. And replaced ‘https’ with ‘h-tps’ because of spam warning):

This site can’t be reached The web page at h_tps://community.notepadplus-plus.org/auth/github/callback? code=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&state=XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_FAILED

Again,- had to revoke Notepad++ Community access from my github.

@Star-Tube said in Search between pages feature!:

I have many pages that are opened I don’t want to close so I leave them open and make new pages

When I read that I immediately become concerned the OP is using the backup feature of Notepad++ without being aware of how it actually works.

Please Read the FAQ post Periodic Backup vs AutoSave Plugin so you are aware of the risks of not saving those pages yourself.

yes confirmed. fixed in 8.5.2 version (at point 9)

@MrE819 said in Notepad++ Convert to MSI:

Can I use the tools that come with Windows to convert it into an msi installation package

You can use the Windows Installer tool msiexec.exe to control the installation of an MSI package.

@Henrik-Haftmann said in Reload request after save is annoying.:

See this as a bug report

Bug reports are not seen here.
See the FAQ for how to file a real bug report.
However, I’m sure this is an already-known issue.

Hello @jeff-Michaels, @alan-kilborn, @dinkumoil and All,

Congratulations to brilliantly achieve your goal from the link provided by @alan-kilborn ;-)) You seem to be a regex’s guru, too !

Regarding your solution, I suppose that the end should be \r\n ( instead of \r\t )

Now, I think that you can simplify your regex as :

(?xs-i) <pg \x20 (?: (?! </pg> ) . )*? BAR .*? BREAK .*? </pg> \R # Delete any <pg> section containing BAR and BREAK

Indeed, no need to be sure that the string </pg> does not occur between the words BAR and BREAK and between BREAK and </pg>. Once you get the good <pg...> block, with the negative look-ahead, the lazy quantifiers, coming next, forces the correct detection of that block !

You may use \R as is stands for any kind of line-break ( \r\n, \n and \r )

Note that I use the Free-spacing mode ( (?x... ) which allows to separate the main parts of the regex and allows comments after the # char

Best Regards,

guy038

@pinuzzu99 said in add simple table (or cell spacing):

is put the cursor at the top left of the column. then with Shift+ALT click on the bottom right of the column to select it in one go.

Yes, this works, but I’d say it isn’t a common usage among Notepad++ users.

It is so uncommon that it isn’t mentioned here (maybe it should be?):

Probably “Hold Alt while left-click dragging” is the way most users would select your S02 block, if they’re going to involve the mouse in the selection action.

@Siim-Petser
see, there really is a problem. not bsing. but i have 0 positive feelings with this place here. so. its just… oh. maybe im just trolling. whatever. there is a problem. oh. ok. i try to stay away from here. its hard. crap. ban me freely. pls.

@Terry-R

The sole reason to come here in this forum was actually this issue.
I guess it is something about some MS standard way to treat it? I’m too ignorant to discuss this.
But, if there is a way to address this, make the scroll bar click+hold to ignore mouse’s left right
movement - it would actually be a good improvement.

Thing is, smoothly scrolling through 2-3 pages using scrollbar (not mouse wheel or pgup/down) - the need for this is so unique for a coding editor. My case, that is. Well, there are other cases/apps and it is solved differently.
(for example musical notation software - with their must have “navigator” thingy)

Interestingly, I can reproduce this in my daily-use N++ v8.5, even with “short” lines.

However, if I extract fresh portable versions (for any of 8.4.9, 8.5, 8.5.1), I cannot reproduce it with those.

:-(

@Johan-Taunajik said in UDL or Language of “Registry”:

It has 8 digits after dword: then is has to show green.
“HeapDeCommitFreeBlockThreshold”=dword:0002215C
If it hasn’t 8 digits after dword:, it has to show orange.
“HeapDeCommitFreeBlockThreshold”=dword:0002215

Afaik you can’t do this natively with UDL, but by installing the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin, caveat, I’m the author, you might get what you want.
Install the plugin via the plugin admin, open a registry file and run Plugins->EnhanceAnyLexer->Enhance current language.
The configuration file will open and replace the registry block with something like this:

[registry] 0x7fff00 = (?<=dword:)[[:xdigit:]]{8}(?=[^[:xdigit:]]|$) 0x009BFF = (?<=dword:)[[:xdigit:]]{1,7}(?=[^[:xdigit:]]|$) ; Note: Style 4 (HEX DIGIT) must be removed here or excluded_styles must be commented out completely. excluded_styles = 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

Maybe THIS?

That did it!

Thanks again,

I found what the problem is:

AppXSVC needs to be running… but why? It is needed to install the new shell menu “Edit with notepad++” as it comes in a *msix package but I’m not installing it, so there should be no reason for the main exe to be requesting AppXSVC to be running despite it isn’t needed anymore.

Am I misunderstanding something?

@Jeb-Swartzentruber said in Windows 10 taskbar grouping:

Greetings. I switched to Windows 10 about a month or so ago and I noticed many apps that I “pin to the taskbar” do not open next to the icon, but instead at the far right of the taskbar. I think this is a new setting, because Firefox used to do the same thing until a recent update. This only happens when “Combine when taskbar is full” is selected. Thank you for a great product!

Yes, it is a great product.

@Mark-Olson Thank you very much. it solved my problem!

oh yes, it work fine.
thank you for reply

Regards
