@Gozer-404 ,

A normal copy will not have that extra line. However, using NppExport to Copy HTML to Clipboard will.

That’s because when the NppExport plugin generates the HTML and puts it in the clipboard, it includes a <title>Exported from Notepad++</title> as part of the HTML it exports. (This is because Notepad++ is generating standards-compliant HTML, and a full HTML document requires a TITLE.)

There are no configuration settings for that simplistic plugin, so you cannot change the behavior. Sorry.

It’s simple enough to delete that line after you paste the results into gmail (or other HTML-accepting app).

For future readers:

While I was writing my reply here (which took long enough that it spanned the entire conversation: when I started, there was just the original post), the original user got fed up, posted a nastygram, and deleted their account on their way out.

The biggest lessons to learn:

We are all fellow users here, just trying to help each other. Being upset at anyone on the Forum for the design of Notepad++ is counterproductive. Demanding your rights as a customer is also counterproductive. Be polite. Don’t be demanding, or demeaning, or rude. When asking for help, the quality of replies you get is directly proportional to the quality of the question asked. I try to always add some offset in my quality-in/quality-out function (hence my list of wild guesses as to the original problem), so that even if there is 0 quality in the original question, there will be some quality or usefulness in the reply. But the more useful details are provided in the original question, the easier it will be for fellow users to help you.

Not an exact answer to what you asked, but see HERE.

Thanks PeterJones, the reboot thing I will take into account next time, to see that it was failing, I reinstalled it, the truth is that it has happened to me several times, even copy the configuration from one computer to another, and the same thing happened, and now I can not check it on the other PC, but when I can see if to run it again has been solved.

Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for but just fyi. I’ve updated the CSV Lint plug-in to v4.5.3 which includes a new option in the “Reformat Data” dialog to replace any carriage return/line feed characters (CRLF or CR or LF) with a given string, for example <br>.

You can install the latest plug-in manually by going to the releases page, download the zip and follow the steps as described here.

Rather thank @PeterJones for his guide for setting up!

It’s worked

No and no. I suppose you could make a feature request (see FAQ).

@M-Winchester-Jr ,

The DocMonitor v2.2 plugin appears to have been released in 2008 (fourteen years ago!) and hasn’t been updated since. Given that it was by Don, I assume that at the time (that predates my Notepad++ usage), he still hadn’t incorporated the monitoring feature yet (file status auto-detection was added in v5.7 in 2010, and full Monitoring mode was added in v6.9.2 in 2016)

Given all the changes that have happened to Notepad++ since 2008 (v5.1), I would say it’s a much better idea to use the built-in feature, not a plugin that hasn’t been updated in one-and-a-half decades.

@Hermann-Ruckerbauer said in Help the compare plugin by aligning some lines:

I can not distinguish between alignment points along the file (I would like to see e. g. a number or a different color). I would like to have the option to jump to the next alignment point in the navigation.

There should be an orange (default color) half width marker in the left marker margin at each point. No way to navigate alignments per se, but each one will most likely create a new diff block with the point as first/last line and you can navigate diffs.

Discussion continued in a NEW thread.

Fixed now as of 8.4.4

@Cee-Qhawekazi-Mhlongo You must press Install before you can use that!

@lorry-weston said in the weirdest bug?:

@PeterJones Thanks for the quick response.
You’re absolutely right of course :-) - the message says it all - will take it up with the plugin writers.

They released v2.2.185.7 to make it compatible with Notepad++ v8.4 and newer, but that version wasn’t submitted to Plugins Admin until v8.4.4, so you will have to manually update the plugin from their website.

Even though the user deleted their account before getting an answer, this was a good question.

As far as my experiments went, they were correct: In “light” mode, the text on the active tab’s title follows the foreground colour setting exactly. In Dark Mode, the text on the active tab’s title is some “inverse” of that, but not the normal “inverse”, so it is very hard to tell what the final color of the tab’s text will be, based on that setting.

If there is someone who is interested in getting that fixed, you should go to the Feature Request FAQ and follow those instructions to put in an official feature request. That official feature request should contain a link to this discussion (so that the developers know that it’s not just you who want the fix), and you should come back and put a link to that feature request in this discussion (so that readers here can find the issue, and see whether it is fixed in a future version of notepad++).

@Florian-Seidl-Schulz ,

Save As has always worked for me.

Can you be a bit more specific as to the exact sequence of events, the exact error message, and the exact version details (?-menu’s Debug Info). Without that, your chances of getting any useful help are vanishingly small.

@PeterJones I appreciate your attempts to reproduce the problem.
I did note in my original post (which was a bit run-on, I apologize) that “no, I know that’s not right either, hm, because if the reload prompt is already up, then normally the user cannot click the close ‘x’, because the reload prompt modal dialog is already open”.

I’m also aware that this isn’t for someone to fix my problem. That’s why I posed it as “this thing happened”, “I’m unable to reproduce”, and “Well, for whatever little this report is worth…”

That said, I’m sure that I didn’t hit another key - I definitely clicked an ‘x’ in the Notepad++ window, and it definitely stayed open and threw away the session (both in that stayed open window, and when I clicked ‘x’ again to exit Npp and re-opened Npp).

Again, for whatever it’s worth.

There’s also a way to put a selection’s word-count in the status bar; see HERE for that.
