Hello, @joongkeun-kim, @meta-chuh, @gurikbal-singh and All,
AFAIK, even if you succeed to install the LightExplorer plugin correctly, due to the new plugin organization, it cannot, unfortunately, save the user options in the configuration file Lightexplorer.ini :-((. Indeed :
In N++ versions prior to v7.6 :
The LightExplorer.dll file was located, directly, inside the plugins folder
The LightExplorer.ini file, created by the plugin, itself, was, also, in the the plugins folder, along with the DLL
=> All the plugin’s functions worked correctly :-))
In the 7.6 and 7.6.1 versions of N++ :
The LightExplorer.dll file must be located in the plugins\LightExplorer sub-folder, due to the new plugin organization
But the LightExplorer.ini file, is NOT created, anymore by the plugin :-(( . I suppose that, internally, the fact of moving the plugin in the new LightExplorer sub-folder breaks its logic !
So, in my portable 7.6.1 version of N++, I do have the LightExplorer installed, but… … some functionalities do not work properly :
The option Synchronize tree with current document does not work
The option Load tree state on startup cannot be unchecked any more
The option Add to favorites seems to work till the current N++ session is opened but is not saved in any LightExplorer.ini file !. Thus, on next N++ opening, all your favorite locations cannot be seen :-(
Moreover, I’m afraid that the LightExplorer plugin is not maintained anymore :-(( The last v2.0 version was released in March 2009. See below :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/LightExplorer/
As an alternative, you could try the Explorer plugin, from that address :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/Explorer/Explorer Plugin v1.8.2/
Download the Explorer_1_8_2_UNI_dll.zip archive
Under your active Plugins folder, create a sub-folder, named Explorer
Extract the Explorer_1_8_2_UNI_dll.zip archive ( just the .dll ) in this ...\plugins\Explorer sub-folder
Contrary to the LightExplorer plugin, if you’ve modified some options, the Explorer plugin correctly saves, on N++ exit, all the user options in an Explorer.ini file, located in your ...\Config directory !
Best Regards,
guy038
P.S. : Note that I also tried to duplicate the LightExplorer.dll file, directly in the ...\Plugins folder, though without success :-((
