@AeOeAa said in Stopped remembering current session:

Hi

I’ve changed the location of my ++ (to the portableapps.com subdirectory) and … does not work. … Any guesses to what I’ve changed or need to change?

What needs to change? Stop using PortableApps dot com. They change applications in strange and unknown ways, and they don’t bother to test if their changes mess up the applications they are changing.

For some applications, PortableApps provide a service, since those apps don’t come with a pre-built portable version. But Notepad++ has had its own portable distribution for as long as I can remember (it has definitely had it since at least v6.0 in 2012, and the doLocalConf, per github history, has been around since before Notepad++ was added to github in 2009), so there is no reason to ever use PortableApps’s changed version of Notepad++. Delete that version, then go to notepad++'s official download at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ and grab the most recent zipfile portable from the official location. The PortableApps version of Notepad++ does nothing but cause problems in this forum. Avoid it.

The official Notepad++ distributions, both installed and portable zipfile, both work correctly for “remember current session for next launch” and “enable session snapshot and periodic backup”.

Alan answered your question about the directory. If you want to learn more about Notepad++'s backup, and the improvements that can be had by using a properly-configured AutoSave Plugin, please read:

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you very much!!!I will try

@m-r said in Speed Scroll:

I get this auto scroll ability in Firefox, Chrome, and Notetab l among others.

is there way to get it to work in Notepad++

No, see https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9887 and then https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1197/

Neither of those links present a strong argument for why autoscroll can’t or won’t be implemented but the answer so far has been “no, it won’t be implemented.”

FWIW, support for autoscroll would first need to be added to Scintilla.

@christian-cgi OK, solved it. Installed 64-Bit version and now everything works fine :-)

@Marc-Hankin said in Notepad++ says it cannot find the:

What can I or we do to get this fixed,

Probably best course of action is to open an issue, here: https://github.com/npp-plugins/pork2sausage

@m-r ,

I’m not convinced you actually read my post, or the link I sent you to. For example, the second screenshot you posted proved you didn’t understand even my first paragraph, which only mentioned the Style Configurator dialog, not the Preferences dialog.

Further, I cannot imagine why you want to pick Notepad++ as your text editor, then disable one of its core features (syntax highlighting, where comments are different color from keywords are different color from known constants or functions are a different color from identifiers are a different color from …).

But if you want to take an awesome took like Notepad++, and make it effectively equivalent to the Win11 tabbed notepad.exe but with a better search engine – fine, I’ll tell you how to ruin Notepad++.

The reason it “imposed a green color” (or rather, that your Global Override settings didn’t impose a black color on syntax-highlighted text) is because you didn’t enable the Global Override on foreground and background color as well. If you want the Global Override to override everything, so that no language (be it CSS or HTML or JS or anything) gets any fancy colorings or weight or fonts for any of its syntax (effectively turning off syntax highlighting), you have to enable all the “enable global XXX” options on that dialog, not just some.
I marked up your screenshot to show you which additional boxes you have to checkmark.

dfdd5a86-b5fe-4b5b-a47e-019abc11de19-image.png

addendum: you will also want to change the foreground color from light yellow to black, and your background color from orange to white; sorry I forgot to mention that when I first posted this

That will make every piece of text in the Notepad++ editor panels be the same color and font and size and weight, regardless of syntax (and effectively disable one of Notepad++'s core features).

@David-Leigh

Yes that plugins gives this “issue” sometimes when it is active and doesn’t interpret correctly the operation to evaluate.

For example
01e8c4b0-6e01-42e2-9f0e-6ea3d8ce6de7-image.png

Its icon is:

06dd1f7f-96cd-4e7d-bf2f-b57285149d61-image.png

and can be disabled with it with just a click and this together with removing keyboard shortcuts will be a final solution for that issue.
I had exactly the same issue and adopted exactly the same solution: no more problems. Now when I want it active I just click on the icon so I am aware it is working.

@greg-michael Yes

@Viji-Amarasing You are correct.

@mkupper said in Hindi Font Issue:

It seems like an encoding issue

Yes, I think you’re right. A fresh, default installation has Settings > Preferences > New Document set to UTF-8, and even “Apply to opened ANSI files” checkmarked. But if they have a config file that’s been upgraded many times, it might still use ANSI without them having set it; or if they have ever intentionally set that option to ANSI or to one of the pulldown character sets, then it will not be defaulting to UTF-8 for new files. And even if it’s on UTF-8, if they don’t have the “Apply to opened ANSI files” checkmarked or if they have Settings > Preferences > MISC > Auto-detect character encoding set to true, then when they open an existing file (which post-links.txt may have already been a file), it might not be opened as UTF-8.

If @Sunny had included the status bar in the screenshot, it would have clarified a lot. As it is, @Sunny will have to answer whether the lower-right of the status bar says UTF-8 or something different:
c96f1885-23d8-434a-affb-bfb482e2b629-image.png

If it says something different, then @Sunny can do Encoding > UTF-8 (if there aren’t any other characters than the ? that was shown) or Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 (if there are other characters), and then re-paste the text.

@PeterJones said in SVG files as icons instead of bmp/ico type:

That’s what you put together for the 2021 suggestion.

No it is a further improved GUI

It has nothing to do with this SVG icons discussion.

You’re right. I just showed it to demonstrate my limitations in c/c++ because the only thing I am able to do is creating GUI with code::blocks

If you want to continue to discuss SVG files as icons in this topic, especially a potential plugin, go ahead, I’ll not interfere.

Don’t worry: you are welcome.

@PeterJones Thank you!
I had never noticed that option in the bottom-right corner before.
That was my problem.

@TheSimArchitect

Maybe try:

<Macro name="OEM US" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="45044" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro>

To expand on what @PeterJones said, my general feeling about learning any kind of programming is that you will probably make better progress and gain a better understanding if you have some intrinsic motivation to do something.

So I guess my advice is this: look for some aspect of Notepad++ or an existing that you don’t like. Spend some time thinking about whether you have an idea of how to make it better. Look at the documentation and see if you can see a reasonable way to implement your idea.

OK the solution proposed works indeed: so the trick is basically to select one more paragraph / end of line / \r\n to make it work.
Thank you all.

@Karan-Mandya said in Find and Replace Multiple Lines of Code for whole directory:

I was able to make it work.

Using \r \n and \t in extended search mode I was able to put entire code supposed to be replaced in single line and then did a replace in all files pretty easily. Yay!

@JediSQL said in Notepad++ Sort Class:

I do not think that addresses, though, the relative order of letters versus special characters.

Yes it does. Uppercase come before underscore come before lowercase in lexicographic order. If Notepad++ is capitalizing all letters to sort ignoring case, then it will put letters before underscore. If PowerShell is lowercasing all letters, it will put letters after underscore.

Disregard the version I posted in my previous post. It is bugged and does not work.

This version contains a proper working implementation of a feature in which the current word is boosted to the top if it previously occurred and is otherwise not shown.

@Rick-Welwood

Could you please add a new setting

This is a Community of Notepad++ users. We cannot change the codebase here. See “FAQ: Feature Request”

☐ Show Incremental Search at program startup

It’s not a bad idea, but since Notepad++ remembers a bunch of toggles in the View menu, I’d probably just prefer that Notepad++ just remember whether or not you have Search > Incremental Search active (like it does for remembering the current state of View > Show Symbol > xxx or other View menu toggles).

☐ Incremental Search bar … Match Word

Also a good idea.

could you get a version working on Linux

That’s been made pretty clear: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/wiki/FAQ#support-for-systems-other-than-the-ms-windows-family

Finally worked after enabled directwrite.
