Hello Scott,

Wild guess: What’s missing is the files langs.xml and stylers.xml ? :-D
:-) perfect answer

i re-installed Notepad++ using the 64Bit Installer and it works perfect

thanks for the fast help

Michael

OK, so… I was wrong :-): CursorFX does have some kind of background process (some deets here: http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/CursorFX-6963-program.aspx). After uninstalling CursorFX & rebooting my laptop, the issue has resolved: I can now see my mouse pointer when it is over that line number & bookmark column.

Cheers,
Eric

Did you see my screenshot here where I have 35 items on the recent file history list by editing config.xml and changing the value to 35 before running Notepad++?

@Hasso-Falisco

Suppose you have a file named FilesToFind.txt that contains:

filenameA filenameB filenameC

Open a command window in the directory you want to search. Then enter this command:

for /F %F in ('type FilesToFind.txt') do @dir /b %F

If you also want to search in sub-directories, use:

for /F %F in ('type FilesToFind.txt') do @dir /s /b %F

That will spit out a list of the files that exist, which you may be able to use effectively.

@dail THAT DID IT!! Thank you!! @Scott-Sumner I didn’t see his suggestion until after I saw yours. Then I had to wait to post my thanks as I am but a fledgling on here.
Thanks community!

why no one explain

Wow man! You made me very happy indeed :) Thanks so much

It seems that the Hunspell dictionaries did not install. Just a simple matter of selection the dictionary required and install.

Now the nice red squiggles are everywhere telling me how bad my typing is… :-).

Thanks.

I did get this to work pasting it back in to a new document. The original files have a single space leading each numerical row that get stripped away when pasted into html. I changed the search to include a space in front of the search value and a space in front of the replace value and that seems to work, I will flush it out in more detail tonight. Thanks!

Good point @Scott-Sumner ,
I totally agree with you. What about a Discard All button with a second pop-up question dialogue “Are you sure?” ?

I also agree. This option is better than one of the dialogs available in WinMerge, which has a Discard All button, but without asking a confirmation.

Here is a similar issue: when files are modified by another application, Notepad++ Always expects a Yes/No answer for each modified file. Sure, you can avoid this with the miscellaneous setting Update silently , but this assumes a “Yes” answer for all the files. It would be better to add two extra buttons: Yes to All and No to All.

@Denis-Peter

Good that it’s working.

If it’s a reported bug then it is “known about”…but there’s not really much more a user can do about it. You can certainly dive in and fix it yourself, but even then there is no guarantee that it will be integrated, even if you present a perfectly-good fix. See the posting by @Claudia-Frank in this thread for some detail on how to do this…

@Alonso-Santamaria

I don’t think that notepad++ will included a builtin function to read/write docx files in the future
but as I’m not the developer I can’t say for sure. Same is true for plugin development.
Npp is used for editing plain text files and not for binary packed xmls. I assume you’re
better looking out for something different maybe LibreOffice etc… to do what you want.

Cheers

@no9on

sorry, unfortunately nothing which makes me think this could be the problem.
Btw. the tests were done with clean npp setup, means no additional plugins used, correct?

Cheers
Claudia
