Just wanted to thank the Alan for his code and instructions and offer a couple of clarifications. This “add on” to NotePad++ has made my work much more productive.
First- When configuring NotePad++ preferences, “Cloud & Link” panel, URI Customized schemes- be aware that the items are separated by a space character. The display on my machine didn’t make this clear and I fumbled around for quite a time before I added a space before the “edit:” addition I made. One might mention that once the preference change is made, the edit URIs in text will start to act like non-working links. Do that first to be sure you got the preference change right.
Two- I am using the UriIndicatorAltClick2.py code because my main use case is opening up images pointed to in my text.
In the startup.py file, I had to add these 2 lines-
import UriIndicatorAltClick2
uiac2 = UriIndicatorAltClick.UIAC2()
Three- I also use lots of non-ASCII unicode in my text, but, so far all my file names are simple ASCII, so I don’t have to worry about the py code handling unicode properly and updating to PythionScript3.x
All of my python dev experience has been with python 3 so I was concerned about whether PythonScript2.0 using Python 2 would cause problems. As far as I can see, the Python 2 stuff is isolated to the one dll installed in the plugin folder.
Thanks again.
