  Poor Man's T-SQL Formatter compatibility issue

  @Omar-Mustafa-Morsi , I just installed Poor Man’s T-SQL Formatter 1.6.13.31508 with a fresh version of Notepad++ v8.1.2 64bit ; it had to install some ancient .NET framework files that I apparently didn’t have on my computer and said I might need to reboot due to .NET changes. The first time I ran Notepad++ after the install, it gave that error. However, I exited Notepad++ and re-ran it, and it loaded fine without error subsequently, even without a reboot. Admittedly, mine was in a portable, not an installed copy of Notepad++, but there is no difference between the binary files (or the way that DLLs are loaded), so there is no reason it shouldn’t work on an installed copy. Notepad++ v8.1.2 (64-bit) Build time : Jul 16 2021 - 01:59:50 Path : C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp.8.1.2.portable.x64\notepad++.exe Command Line : Admin mode : OFF Local Conf mode : ON Cloud Config : OFF OS Name : Windows 10 Home (64-bit) OS Version : 2009 OS Build : 19043.1110 Current ANSI codepage : 1252 Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PoorMansTSqlFormatterNppPlugin.dll You say you’ve tried to re-install the plugin – does that mean you removed it completely and then installed it again? And how did you install it? (Did you use Notepad++'s Plugins Admin?) As an experiment, I also tried installing it in a portable v8.1.2 32bit (you said you had 64 bit OS, but not which Notepad++ bitness you used). Since I already had the .NET installed, it didn’t pester me about that; it installed just fine, and even on the first run, it didn’t give the error, and loaded Notepad++ just fine, and the ABOUT box for the plugin shows that v1.6.13.31502 is running (apparently, the 32bit has a different build number in the final digits of the version string) My guess is that you’ve got an issue with the .NET side of things, so that the plugin cannot load. You might want to reboot. if that’s not enough… Unfortunately, I’m not an expert with that – a quick google led me here, which might be a good starting point for debugging .NET installation problems.

  @Alan-Kilborn Am I the only one that thinks N++ dark mode is “meh”? No, you’re not alone in that thought. I guess sometimes the developers feel they have to keep the clamoring masses appeased.

  @Stinson-s-Stationers said in Adding line breaks to fixed width table: It didn’t even occur to me that DBF would be a standard file type i could find a specific viewer for. Yes, in fact it is one of the oldest file types, first created in in the early 1980s, see here. It is still possible that it doesn’t actually correspond to the acceptable format known, but certainly worth a try using one of the free viewers. File extensions don’t restrict developers to an acceptable format but most will do so. I just feel that using Notepad++ for a task it is not designed for (editing what is essentially a binary file) is looking for trouble. 99% of the time it will work (as this binary file is mostly just the text records with a binary header), but just once you will find your transformation will produce bad data. If you are not doing extensive data checks every transformation, it could have dire consequences. As you say this is company data, so you need to be certain the output is valid. Using the right tools for the job is central to achieving this. Terry PS creating a robust process means it can be easily handled by anyone who can click few buttons,so less chance in the future something could go wrong

  How can I change the icon for Notepad++

  @PeterJones said in How can I change the icon for Notepad++: which make it harder to change things like the icon Since I was curious, and confirmed that my current machine was using the OpenWith choice for .txt files, I experimented a bit. In the registry, there is an HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe key. If I navigate to that, it has a shell subkey, which defines the various actions in the same way as old-fashioned associations in the registry. Thus, I tried creating the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe\DefaultIcon, and gave the (Default) = "c:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe",-101 . After convincing Windows to refresh icons (sometimes requires logging off and back on, or rebooting), my .txt files (and anything else that’s OpenWith Notepad++) now use the Notepad++ chameleon icon. So, yes, if the old .txt => txtfile => DefaultIcon doesn’t work, maybe Applications\notepad++.exe\DefaultIcon will work for you.

  @Alan-Kilborn My guess is that OP used the spaces as a sort of word delimiter, but who knows. astrosofista is the nick I used on Twitter for an account that was indeed about space related topics. Since I used that account to register for this forum, I left the same nick. And although I like astronomy very much, I am not an astrophysicist. My academic studies are in philosophy. I have been teaching an introductory course in propositional logic and philosophy of science for twenty years. And now I am close to retirement - I will have more time to play with regex, scripting and the like.

  @Rossini-Neto said in Notepad++ using a lof of CPU: This problem occurs for me, even no plugins installed. I noted since July 1st update. You didn’t supply the ? > Debug Info. If you’re going to add a “me too” post, it’s best to at least have followed all the advice already given in the discussion. Other questions: Is it only when large files are loaded, or any time? (If so, how large?) Is there a syntax highlighter lexer enabled (ie, is the Language menu selected None (Normal Text) or one of the others. If a different lexer is enabled, if you manually change it to None (Normal Text), does the CPU usage stay high, or does it drop to reasonable levels If you exit and/or reboot, does it stop using large CPU levels? Does it do the same thing if you download and run a portable version of v8.1.2 rather than your installed copy?

  @Unique-ForEternity said in Searching a Notepad++ version: What I ask is please give me a download link of the version of school that I attend. No such download exists from the official distributor of Notepad++. You will have to ask your teacher how they configured Notepad++ at school. My guess is that they are using the NppExec plugin to run the external java compiler, and then use Customize Toolbar plugin to add that NppExec script as a button on the toolbar. For example, I have an NppExec script that I call “Java-CompileAndRun” with the script NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_51\bin\javac" $(FILE_NAME) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_51\bin\java" -classpath "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" $(NAME_PART) This saves the active file, then uses the Java JDK javac to compile, and the java command to run the compiled output But that’s just a guess as to what they did. As I said, you will have to ask your teacher how they customized Notepad++ (or explore the various configurations and menu entries in the school’s Notepad++ to figure it out for yourself).

  @Alan-Kilborn , It is really unfortunate that the term “style” is used, Yes, the naming of that feature was confusing, and is now even more so. Aside from “Mark” vs “Mark”, as you’ve already pointed out: In the Search menu, it’s called Mark All (and now also the new Mark One). In the context menu, it used to be Style token / Remove Style and now Style all occurrences of token / Style one token / Remove style. So the Search menu and Context menu use different names. (But it was confirming this that finally explained to me why so many thought of it as “Style Token” – because that’s what the context menu called it.) I have started the process of adding “Style Token” to the description of the Mark All settings in the online user manual – hopefully, it will be included in the next release

  @Alan-Kilborn said in Makro oder Programm für wiederkehrende Änderung.: @PeterJones said in Makro oder Programm für wiederkehrende Änderung.: Please use English as the primary language in this forum. I guess this was ignored. :-( It’s easy enough for the reader to “Translate to English”, but I still think the onus is on the poster to post in English. I for one won’t be doing any translating on the reading end in order to answer non-English posts. Hello Alan, es gibt bestimmt mehr Menschen die Chinesischs sprechen und schreiben. Also sollte man alles ins Chinesiche Übersetzen, aber Achtung, dann könnt ihr gleich den Block schließen, weil ihr(du) tausende ausgrenzt. Der Link aus meinen Notepad++ geht hier in.

  Maybe, the issue is with file encoding? Maybe, you need to use a different encoding. Just a guess.

  @PeterJones Thank you for the pointer to the historical Changes page, that was a nice place to go spelunking. For the present and near future I will resort to manifest constants to flag the current versions, so I can refer to the proper historical documentation pages (packages actually) and avoid the temptation to use a new Scintilla feature not yet supported in Npp.

  I use NPP for basic sanitization of text (copy/paste), and for a couple other things. Now after coming back after a while the default when opening is 50% usable text space, the rest... nothing?

  Try rebooting your PC. It may help. You can also see additional info about the same problem here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9760
