@rspeicher452 , If you’re always on that screen for that laptop, I would recommend changing Settings > Style Configurator > Language: Global Styles > Style: Default Style to use a bigger font size for the text, so that you don’t have to change the zoom. (The “zoom” feature was designed to be temporary, whereas setting the Default Style font size was designed as the perment way to set text size)

@deleelee , As I said there, the plugin needs to be fixed and a new version released. It’s not a config file for the end user.

@PeterJones Thanks again. I think I’d need to do that myself to learn it fully, bit like you can’t learn to drive from a book… I wish I’d asked about this years ago! I periodically create these files which may start with 2 or 3000 lines and end up with around 1500 lines after exact dupes are removed. I then compare with CTRL ALT C with the compare plugin to the master file which is about 16K lines. I then manually add completely new lines if found to the master file. And any that have the 2 letter in the new file that aren’t in the master file, I add though two letters in to the master. Having these lines in the new file: G7ODA,IO93WS, G7ODA,IO93WS,PE, Does tend to confuse the compare plugin so this will make life easier for me! thanks again

Hello, @pellelin, @mpheath, and All, Oh…, @pellelin, in my previous post, I forgot to mention confidentiality and sensitive information. Of course, I completely understand why you don’t want to send me your summary file! However, if you could send me an example — even a shorter one, with any personal information removed — I’m sure I could find a suitable replacement, using regular expressions ! I only need the text’s formatting / text’s frame, not the words themselves . BR guy038

@Taras-Tkachenko , No version of Notepad++ has such a button on the tabs bar. There is one on the far right of the menu bar (beyond the ? menu): [image: 1780441214049-dbd16aed-078a-4380-be71-254794b615fc-image.jpeg] That one can be turned off using Settings > Prefeerences > General, where there’s a setting ☐ Hide right shortcuts ＋ ▼ ✕ from the menu bar – if you checkmark that, and restart, then it will hide those three symbols. Notepad++ never sets that option by default, so maybe you accidentally set it at some point. If it’s checkmarked, just uncheckmark it, and restart, and those three buttons will be back. But, again, Notepad++ doesn’t have a similar button on the tabbar (and never has). You can, however, double-click to the right of the tabs, and it will create a new tab without needing to find the symbol [image: 1780441370585-7b98eeb8-54c3-49c2-bb2c-1ca8c9df8891-image.jpeg] User Manual on related topics: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#general https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-interface/#tabs

@PeterJones - Yes! It works that way for me, too. That’s the magic bullet - have Windows to add it to the Open With list, which triggers creating the file in AutomaticDestinations\ which will then start collecting file names. I now have my jump list back. Thanks for helping me puzzle this through. I have a few files that I use daily and this makes my work flow much more efficient.

@jabcreations said: The only “people” using 800x600 these days are bots. That’s an absurd exaggeration. Whether or not there’s anyone on 800x600, there are plenty of people still using 1920x1080 monitors. (In case you don’t believe me, per April 2026 Steam HW/SW survey, more than 50% of Steam users are running at 1920x1080. So it’s still reasonable behavior for more than half of users – and that’s skewed toward gamers, who are more likely to have “fancy” tech; I am confident that in general, even higher percentage is still using 1920x1080.) Did I miss something or does this need to be a feature request? Could it be improved for 4K users? Likely (I’ve never used a 4K monitor, so I have no experience). There’s a long-open set of 4K issues in the official tracker, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this were already one of the open issues remaining… You might want to search the 4K issues in the repo to see if it already exists. But in the meantime, what’s your OS display scaling set to. Normally, with 4K, it’s somewhere in the 150% to 200%, IIRC from other posts. But if you’re at 100%, then of course GUI elements will be tiny.

@peterjones Yes, mostly the issue is for end user. Thanks for complete explanation!

@smcclosr said: Not 100% user if this version addressed this specific issue, It almost definitely did not. The changes between 8.9.6 and 8.9.6.1, as announced in the forum and by looking at the git-diff at GitHub, were completely related to vulnerability fixes (COPYDATASTRUCT, removing commandLineInterpreter hidden config file option, and making it harder for saved-Run-menu entries from shortcuts.xml to run apps from non-approved directories), and do not seem in any way related to OneDrive. (And least, I don’t see how any of them could affect saving of files to OneDrive) My guess was the change in v8.9.6 that changed behavior relative to v8.9.5 was the “saving dirty read-only files” fix (but that’s just a guess… and it wasn’t changed/reverted in v8.9.6.1, so that doesn’t seem a plausible explanation for your experience.) but it is resolved for me now. Hopefully it stays that way. Good luck.

Thank You Everyone for your Time and Effort.

@PeterJones Thanks!

@guy038 Just to say, I tried your solution in native N++ for kicks, and it worked! So kudos for an elegant idea. :)

Hello, @balancedcircular, @terry-r, @coises and All, I suppose that the following regex S/R should be close to what you want ! I consider the entire line because you may have other lines with attributes Name and/or Comments FIND (?-si)^(<RectangularPart Version=.+ Name=")\d\d\d (.+/.).+?(\d")(.+ Comments=").+(?=>) REPLACE $1$2$3$4$2$3 As @coises said, try this global replacement on a copy of your file ! If everything works as expected, I’ll explain you, next time, how all the regex syntax means ! Best Regards, guy038 I almost forgot the last line of your post. To simultaneously search for any of the three words Rafter, C.Tie and Web, simply use the regex (?-i)Rafter|C\.Tie|Web

@Jeff-Esposito said in Notepad++ VERY slow to open: e gotten my new computer Notepad++ takes 40-50 seconds to launch. I have removed all plugins and don’t check recent file history at launch is checked. There are no open unsaved tabs, even though that is how I want to use it and use it on my old pc and my work laptop. the install It becomes slow when using “Show Folder As Workspace” (which displays the workspace folder on the left side). It starts quickly when this option is turned off.

Yeah, this usually happens with non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) or other Unicode space characters that look invisible but behave differently from normal spaces. Using \xA0 in regex was the right fix 👍 If you face this again, you can: Use \x{00A0} or \s to detect space variants Check in hex editor to identify exact character Then replace all in one go Also, if you’re unsure which invisible character it is, you can test different ones using tools like espaço invisível before applying them in your editor.

Honestly, this cleared up a big confusion for me. I used to think fonts were saved with the file itself, but it makes sense now that it’s just the editor displaying it differently. Also didn’t realize enabling global font overrides can mess with syntax highlighting—good catch. I’ve been tweaking text styles a lot lately while testing name formats on font generator, so this helps keep things consistent
