Possible, maybe.
Likely, no!

Applications that handle huge files are designed for that specific goal and there are lots of tradeoffs to be made in the design. The majority of Notepad++ users are developers that deal with files well under 1MB. Many of them depend on plugins that interact with Notepad++ and Scintilla in a pretty direct (non-abstract) way. Redesigning Notepad++ and Scintilla to handle huge files quickly will almost surely break many of these plugins and hurt a much larger portion of Notepad++ users than the people who want to open huge files.

Your need is real but the solution should be to find the right tool for the job rather than expecting the wrong tool to evolve.

BTW, there is also a very big difference between viewing a huge file and editing a huge file. There are lots of good viewers and fewer good editors. Huge files are always auto-generated (typically logs) what is the point of editing them? When I dealt with such the concept was usually to find the area of interest and trim 1M lines into 10K lines of interest that Notepad++ handles easily.

Thank you for the correction on the ability to change back.

To be clear: I define the action of the editor in changing anything that I didn’t explicitly select as ‘forcing’; as it forces a change I didn’t make. It does not lock the change; but it does go beyond ‘Enable dark mode’ and makes modifications to settings contained in a different selection dialog.

Again, thank you for clarifying the interaction between mode selection and icon selection.

@Leon-Meijer ,

If it’s not saving macros, and if sessions aren’t being saved properly (or are coming back after files have been closed), I think maybe you don’t have write permission where your config files are located.

Could you please copy/paste from Notepad++'s ?-menu’s Debug Info? And also show us a screenshot of your Settings > Preferences > Cloud & Link dialog settings – these two will tell us where your config files should be located, and then we can help you figure out where to check for write permissions: If Cloud & Link is checked to set a cloud path, then config files including session.xml and shortcuts.xml will be stored in that folder, and so that folder and those files will need write permission; or else, if the Debug Info shows Local Conf mode : ON then the config files will be in the same directory as notepad++.exe (also shown in Debug Info), so you will need write permission there; otherwise, those config files go in %AppData%\Notepad++ 🛈, and you will need write permission on that directory and files.

Regarding automatic vs manual sessions:

Sharing a screenshot of Settings > Preferences > Backup will tell us what your session and snapshot settings are. The “remember current session” will remember what files are opened, and which view they are in, as long as Notepad++ has write permission to session.xml (see above). “Enable session snapshot and periodic backup” will keep a backup copy of all unsaved files (including unnamed files), so turning that off will prevent it from re-opening unsaved files next time (but when you exit Notepad++, it will ask you if you want to save or discard the unsaved files).

Tried the “save session” but I don’t know what’s suppose to be saved? because split-view? no,

Yes, actually, Save Session does include the information on which file tabs are in which view in split-view. But the manually saved sessions also have to be manually loaded. So if you exit after manually saving the session, you will have to manually load the session to get that state back. The fact that Save Session saves split-view is really easy to test: 1) Have split view, with files open on each side. 2) File > Save Session, pick a known file name. 3) File > Close All. Split view goes away. 4) File > Load Session, and select the session file you saved. 5) The files are re-opened, and split view is back.

“save session” … Marco’s? no…

Correct. Macros are saved automatically when Notepad++ correctly exits, assuming it has write permission to shortcuts.xml. Macros have nothing to do with the Save Session command.

O btw, when creating split-view (like open file in another view) the font size on the right view is smaller then it is on the left.

That means that at some point, you dragged the separator bar between the two views to make them unequal. Because Notepad++ defaults to balanced views on split view.

@Priyo-Susilo said in Whats with row 96?:

May i know why the cursor is going crazy when I reach row 96?
Its always bounce back to row 95 when i try using mouse/keyboard to move the cursor to the next row.

Windows 10 64-bit / Notepad++ from version 6 something - every version including the newest 8. 1 release 64-bit I’ve used and I’ve never seen what you describe.

Please provide your menu “?” => “Debug Info…” and definitive steps to reproduce - what kind of file are you working on, is this a new file you’re creating or an existing file, can you open files longer than 96 lines, what happens then … ?

Cheers.

@Colonel_Konami

You can submit your UDL officially by seeing the instructions for doing so HERE.

@PeterJones Thank you very much!

I am really feeling that Notepad++ is an excellent code edit tool!

@PeterJones said in Search and Replace in Column Selection Mode:

But ask politely, or you will likely be ignored.

I think the OP turned it into an idiotic request, even though you warned them against doing something dumb; see: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10012

I know if I were a developer on Notepad++, I would certainly ignore this request. What is wrong with people?

THANKS!

perfect work , thanks for help guys

@Lucio-Menci-0 said in Notepad++ freezes if file is not avaiable any more:

I readed the discussion about the title dated 5/2/17.

Providing a link to the mentioned discussion is much more useful than making us go look for it.

Can I sudgest you to perform the try of reload in a background process,

You can suggest all you want, but if you are doing the suggesting here, in this Community Forum, then nothing will ever be done about it. The developers do not track bug reports or feature requests that are made in this Forum, and the rest of us in the Forum do not have the authority and/or skill to make codebase changes to the application. There is only one place the Developers do feature/bug tracking, and this Forum is not it. However, this Forum does have a FAQ entry called “Feature Request and Bug Report”, which explains how and where to make feature requests and bug reports.

@Charles-Anon-0 said in Logging into Notepad++ forum:

logging in using Google doesn’t permit a username, only a full name.

Click on your icon in the upper right (with tooltip “Profile”), select “Edit Profile”. You can change both your “Full Name” on that page, or by clicking the “Change Username” button, you can change your user name as well.

There is also helderseppu’s NppFavorites for a quick save and recall of 6 file paths

@jbaker6953 said in Adjust line number font size?:

margin really fat

There’s also a bookmark margin there.
If you toggle off Display bookmark (shown as on in your screenshot), you’ll save even more room (probably a good idea only if you don’t use bookmarks).

GitHub and Twitter authentication are also both available from the login screen.

I update my previous comment for the benefit of any interested parties.
After several unsuccessful attempts with the keyboard, I was finally able to obtain the macro to set “Start/End Block” me with the help of a sighted person: in
fact the operations in question (access to the contextual menu and choice of the voice) are recorded only if performed with the mouse and not with the
keyboard. If this were an effect of the presence of the screen reader, I don’t know how to overcome it.

Works for me in Notepad++ v8.
My guess is that %userprofile% is invalid at some point.
@Wim-Gielis Did you try absolute path?

Also, what of your configs are stored in OneDrive folder? This one or something different?

Maybe at some point, the folder is locked because of the OneDrive sync which could be the problem.

Thanks for the very detailed responses.
Properties look like they might do the trick for me.
I will definitely read the Scintilla docs as i’m sure i haven’t implemented them properly.

@strata-council

Another option is to set the default or global font size to
a size to your liking. See settings->style configurator

@Steve-Signorelli said in unwelcome install dialog text:

Our industry suffers an inequality in our inclusion of female members and examples like this are corrosive to the efforts many of us put forth to help resolve the imbalance

I think one has to infer some things to consider that the “unwelcome” text is “harmful” to one specific gender? In light of recent media events, there may actually be no genders, furthering my confusion about your comment.

However, it is possible that the text you highlight in yellow is offensive to some, and I’m sure an acceptable substitute can be found.
