@PaKaL600Qualis ,

Notepad++ correctly adds the extension if you don’t provide one. Since Notepad++ version 8.0, it has even provided a checkbox in the Save As dialog so you can make sure you know whether or not it will automatically add the extension. If you are using an older version than v8.0, there were options elsewhere that would affect it, but in general, even older Notepad++ versions correctly add the extension under normal default circumstances.

If you still believe your version is having problems:

go to the https://www.notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ official download site and download a portable edition of the most recent version listed (right now, v8.1.4, but soon to be v8.1.5) and unzip to a writeable directory. Close all instances of Notepad++ and run the notepad++.exe that’s in the unzipped portable, and confirm that it works correctly on the newer version. If it does, then install the newest version in your normal Notepad++ location. if that doesn’t work, share the ?-menu’s Debug Info in the forum (for both the portable and for your installed), and give screenshots of things like the Save As dialog and the settings > preferences pages (especially MISC and Default Directory, which were the older preference locations for the checkbox that is now in the Save As dialog)

@Moisey-Oysgelt said in Verbose backup improvement:

Is possible to use python 3.10 or higher

Python Script only goes to Python 3.9.6 as of now.

Cheers.

That works! Thanks.

@Terry-R said in DSpell not recommending corrections for misspellings:

I’m trying to locate that post now.

This is the post

So it appears that “real” TXT files only are working correctly. So if your file isn’t a “temporary” file or a real TXT file consider making it a TXT file temporarily to see if that resolves your problem.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Adding a key to "Edit/Insert/Date Time (short)" using "Settings/Shortcut Mapper...":

So Notepad++ has become sort of a joke since it keeps losing developers that can code thoroughly when they add new features.
…
C’mon guys, when you add a new feature, support it fully.

This feature is coding by me and other devs.

Notepad++ devs (including me) code this project with their own time, to provide you a code editor with no charge. You can choose another editor if you’re not happy. Or you can do the PR to fix it instead of whining. We don’t ask your gratitude. Behave yourself as a civilized person here is the last thing you can do.

Actually in my case I found a solution instead of searching for selected text. In the Mark option you can bookmark the line and in a macro you can use the F2 to jump to selected text, make instructions and then use the CTRL-F2 to delete the bookmark. Doing that way a certain type of conditional instructions can be performed without having to use scripts.
Thank you all,
bye.

@Alan-Kilborn The bookmark menu worked. It’s exactly what I wanted, thanks…

@PeterJones
Thanks for checking, Mine is working today as well, not sure when it started working again, but it’s still on 8.1.4 🤷‍♂️

I swear it was broken for more than a few days before I reported the issue 😅

Hard to say, but maybe OP wants something like the “ruler” feature that the ColumnTools plugin provides?:

There are already open issues about virtual desktops on the github issue tracker. Suggest looking them up before you create something new.

Much later followup-

The minimal Chromium version (93.0.4549.0) required to display offline MHTML copies of NodeBB based web pages, which includes the Notepad++ Community, has made into the current Chrome and Vivaldi (4.2.2406.44) releases.

[I’m taking the fork out, so the rest of this carcass can now fade away.]

@Joe-Sytniak

Please see here for information about bugs and feature requests.

@Monospace-V said in Enhancement to portable app:

How and where do I open a feature request?

I should have pointed you HERE before.

Be aware that there are a limited number of developers on Notepad++, and such a feature IMO might not get a lot of traction when compared to other text-editing related feature requests. There’s some sophisticated-user expectation when the portable version is used.

Hello, @rob-mcdonell and All,

You could use the @Peterjones’s Python script, provided in this post :

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/44448

Each time this Python script is called, it displays, in the leftmost zone of the status bar, the character currently at the right of the caret/cursor, of the current file, even in case of a selection, as well as its Unicode code-point, both in hexadecimal and decimal values !

It works with any Unicode character, even for those with code-point over the BMP ( Basic Multilingual Plane )

To get the default language name again, just switch to an other tab and switch back

You may prefer my version with a slightly different layout, here :

Or this other version, of @alan-kilborn, with a possible replacement of the aimed character :

Many thanks guys.

@Alan-Kilborn said in How many colors on HTML code:

That’s not a question about Notepad++.
This is a forum to discuss Notepad++ features, quirks, how-to’s, etc.
Please find a more appropriate forum on which to ask your question.

sorry, wrong number!!

Well I think the question is, are you hired in a job to create html code (many projects) or just trying to pressure someone into creating something to make it easy for you.

Terry…! whats wrong with you? no one hired me, I don’t want to hire anyone, I’s just a normal guy wanna do my NFT art with html code. can you please leave the side talks away from here.

There are some other options such as creating a program using say PythonScript which integrates into Notepad++ (NPP)

Thats hard for me. I dont wanna go deep in languages of coding :)

The copy paste idea could be made into a macro which is then run the number of times required.

Yes I found that yesterday and I found Cnrt + End = will take me to end of the file.

As for column editor, it appears you don’t know that function in NPP. Create an empty file/tab in NPP and create at least 11 empty lines. Position the cursor in the very first position, on the first line. Select column editor in the menu, you will be using the insert number. You will see some options such as start number, repeat, leading zero and others. Have a play and see the results.

I got brain fart yesterday because of this, can you please send me any youtube video? I’m sure there are, but I dont know what to search about, I dont have Keywords.

As your project wants the numbers as words I looked online and found that linked site within a few seconds. NPP doesn’t handle numbers like that so it’s necessary to get that info elsewhere, then paste it back into NPP so it can use the words.

I can switch that on excel, excel will help me to do this step.

@Rolf-Petersen ,

In your previous session, did you have a network file open? Or a file from a thumb drive? Or from a cloud folder that might be syncing? Or is such a file listed in your recently-used-files list? If Notepad++ is trying to look for the existence of a file on a drive that’s not mounted, or slow to respond, or similar, then it can take a while

Turning on the checkbox for Settings > Preferences > Recent Files History > Don’t check at launch time might help speed up the process, because then it doesn’t check through the recently-used-files to see if they still exist.

Also, you might try turning off plugins (run with the -noPlugin option, or rename c:\program files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins folder) to see if one of your plugins is the culprit.
