    @PeterJones Thank you for your patient explanation. I must admit that I must not have saved the Panels or Workspaces. I have some Workspaces saved with XML file extensions, but I did not really understand that Notepad does not track workspaces. I got confused because Project_Panel_1, Project_Panel_2, Project_Panel_3 never change names. I also recently found a lot of files in my Notepad++ “backup” folder that has the “lost” files, and I was able to load/restore them back into project panels.

    From asking my question and reading your answer and the docs, I have a much better understanding of how things work.

    Thank you.

    @PeterJones thank you for the reply!

    Sadly, I’m trying to make Npp change themes even while it’s running, so I’m leaning towards developing a plugin or a macro or something that will let me do that. I just need a Saturday off or something :D

    @PeterJones Thanks so much for all the help. I got it done with the old version by just force clicking through it all. Pressing my IT dept to install the newest version. Thanks again!

    @Vance-Neff I’ve also had some surprising behavior when deleting or moving lines in macros.

    I suggest you abandon this approach, and instead, use a regex F&R to match a complete line containing the term, something like:

    ^.*?YOUR_TERM.*?$

    and then, make sure the Replace with field is properly empty (no spaces).

    Use Replace a few times to satisfy yourself replacements are being done as expected, then Replace All to act on the whole file.

    @Terry-R Thank you. I’ll read through those, and possibly put in a request when I have enough time to formulate it properly!

    plains how to turn off the hex-line-number f

    Yes, the issue is from CustomLineNumbers. I change to not active mode, and the line number is back to the decimal mode.

    Thanks

    There is a new FAQ addressing the new Change History, including what it is, how to use it and toggle it, how to reset the history on the active file, and how to deal with printing.

    @Andre-Viol ,

    @xomx linked to the official issue months ago. We in the Forum can do nothing to get bugs fixed – we can help users through the process of proving it’s a bug, and can sometimes find workarounds. But in the end, the official issues pages, like the one linked above, are where the official debugging occurs. If you want to remind the developers to continue working on the problem, there is the appropriate place.

    In the discussion in that issue report, you will find links to debug versions, and requests for logs from that debug version. If it hasn’t been fixed yet, then you need to follow the instructions in that discussion, and post the results in that discussion, and hopefully @xomx will be able to take the information you provide there and help incorporate it into a fix.

    Discussion Locked

    This issue can only be fixed if people who have this problem participate in the official issue report at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11556 . Posting in this Forum discussion thread will not propagate the information to all the right individuals. Any further discussion on this problem needs to occur in the official issue. As a result, this discussion is being locked, to encourage you to use the issue tracker to discuss the known issue.

    Hi all,
    just by chance, I have found the solution here:
    https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/67983
    Simply in Settings | Preferences | MISC.
    enable the option “Use DirectWrite”…
    And restart Notepad++.

    We definitely needed this!

    @Patrick-Laughter ,

    That’s a known issue with an underlying library. it has been reported to the library developers, but until that upstream library is fixed, it cannot be fixed in Notepad++.

    As a workaround, if you add the macro described in my post here, you can then use Ctrl+Shift+H to toggle the history off before printing, then toggle it back on when done printing (though, unfortunately, after toggling it back on, you may have to restart Notepad++). The other option would be to save, restart Notepad++, and then do the print (because the change history will be reset to no changed lines). Whichever workaround will help you get through your printing until the bug in the library can be fixed so that Notepad++ can be updated so that the problem is actually solved.

    For future readers:

    Approximately two years later, someone put in feature request #11713 to request this toggle. (They also put in a separate request #11676 to add all the features of JSON5/JSONC, not just comments.)

    update: This request was implemented and released in v8.4.9 in January 2023 (see release notes item 3)

    @Geoff-Winkless said in Auto Backup and Recovery not working:

    It pops up the “waiting to close” window because of some other app that needs saving.

    Good info, but I am still not able to reproduce that with it (and get my session.xml emptied).

    I am working on this issue - could you please follow the instruction here?

    (then you can post content of your “nppLogNulContentCorruptionIssue.log” file here, if you do not have a GitHub account)
