welcome to the notepad++ community, @Konrad-Bińko

please test the following, to verify, if a clean notepad++ would show html and xml language selections on your system:

download the notepad++ 7.6.6. 64 bit portable version from >>> here <<<.
(the portable version does not require any installation and runs completely independent and isolated from your installed version. all custom settings, as well as any stuff you might want to try at the portable version, will not modify your installed version)

extract npp.7.6.6.bin.x64.zip to e.g. your desktop.

important note: make sure to close all instances of notepad++ that might be running, before starting the portable version at the next step, to make sure you are using the portable version for this test.

open the extracted npp.7.6.6.bin.x64 folder and start this portable version by double-clicking on notepad++.exe inside this folder.
(note: notepad++.exe will just be seen as notepad++, if you have activated to hide all known file extensions at your windows explorer settings)

test if html and xml selections, as well as css, are shown at the alphabetically cascaded language menu.

if this portable version works for you as expected, please provide us with the debug information of your installed notepad++, by going to the menu ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard and pasting it here, for further guides and fixes.

Very helpful. Was looking around for that. Many thanks for taking the trouble to post it. APpreciated.

splendid, thanks for your feedback, @GrantHorizons.
we are glad to be of help.

The keycombos in the incremental search window aren’t remappable like the keycombos in the editing tab windows. However, this may be of interest: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14271/keyboard-shortcut-for-next-previous-incremental-search-result

It was a little discouraging–even before the big bug was noticed–to see the RC then like, what, a day or 2 later the actual release (not sure what the “ideal” period would be; reality seemed a tad short).

you are absolutely correct.
i think it would have been best to pre-announce the introduction of rc community trials, and how to handle them.
the first rc was very unexpected for quite a few.

afaik, the short period between rc and a as soon as possible release, was maybe not just because of gpg, or to release it before 04.01, but also due to important issue reports with 7.6.4 and below.

Which was THEN followed rapidly by the critical bug being found. Was it found because the real release happened and so many more people jumped on it, thus finding the bug?

don found it, no one else did.

Or would a longer RC period have turned it up?

maybe, maybe not.
but perhaps now, that a bug has been missed at the first rc batch, maybe a few who like testing will be more challenged to find a bug at eventual next rcs, or the appveyor builds, who knows.

Hmmm, will never know.

exactly ;-)

Try to do so:

Where can i find some informations about the formatting options to separate the needed data?

This is a good starting point: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15765/faq-desk-where-to-find-regex-documentation

@PeterJones thank you, I will check it too, and yes, I use perl for that manipulation
I have some ideas about how to solve the problem, just wanted to find out if there is something easier than I think

@Roger-Morris

maybe the log file monitoring function is enabled:

make sure view > monitoring (tail -f) is disabled.
if it is enabled it would reload and scroll to the end of a file.

if it would be activated, you would see an eye instead of a disk at the tab, as seen at the screenshot below.

The built in macro worked nicely! I think I will stick to it.

@Alan-Kilborn
That works… thanks a lot!

@papryka1

splendid, thanks for reporting back, you are welcome.

@PeterJones

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your quick answer. The problem is what you say in the first sentence. Of course I called Unit4 and asked them if they change anything. They did not. The new server is installed so I was looking if the problem is on the new server software. Maybe something changed in the notepath files. On the server I did try to change language settings, but this did not solve the problem.

Tomorrow I wil look the procedure of the export file on the server.

Hi there, I’ve just installed Notepad++ last version and it seems to have stolen ou deleted the Microsoft basic version of Notepad.
I know it is located here : C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe
But it doesn’t open anymore since the installation of Notepad++ : Notepad++ opens instead !

Assuming you installed Notepad++ from the normal installer, downloaded from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/, it did not “steal” or “delete” WIndows’ notepad.exe. This can be easily proven by hitting the WindowsKey plus the letter R (Win+R), and typing notepad.exe and clicking OK (or hitting Enter). If running that executable actually launches Notepad++, then you have either gotten your notepad++ from a non-official source, or you have one of the plugins or other setups which intentionally try to hijack notepad.exe with Notepad++. I agree, that’s a bad idea, but some people want it, so others provide solutions.

What likely happened is that when you installed, the installer told windows you wanted to associate .txt files with Notepad++ instead of with notepad.exe (which people often want to do), so when you double-click on a .txt file, Windows launches it with Notepad++ instead of notepad.exe. This is what most people want when they install Notepad++. If you want .txt to default to the Microsoft notepad.exe, then you just right click on a .txt file, and tell Windows to “open with” and “choose another app”; when it does so, click on “Notepad” and then select “always use this app for .txt files”.

Or, if you want .txt to default to Notepad++, but want to open a particular .txt file with notepad.exe, do the “open with”, and select notepad, without telling Windows to “always use this app”

(Note: I have used Win10 terminology and sequences here; Win7 is similar, but sometimes the phrasing is slightly different.)

(There are many other ways to fix this, including using the registry… But editing the registry directly is not a good idea for everyone.)

edit: If you go to the Notepad++ menu ? > Debug Info > Copy debug info into clipboard, and paste that in your reply, you will give us more information, which may enable us to customize our response to your actual situation, rather than just guessing.

edit 2: And sorry, I forgot to welcome you to the Notepad++ Community Forums. I hope we’re able to help you through your issue.

@Marcin-Frankowski

Using portable from desktop could be workaround for me.

splendid, at least this get’s you going for now.
you can move the portable folder anywhere you have r/w rights, if you prefer to hide it from the desktop.

greetings, and we’ll be here if you need anything.

yes.
here are the instructions on how to install the emmet plugin on notepad++ 7.6.4:

first, follow the >>> Guide: How to install the PythonScript plugin on Notepad++ 7.6.3, 7.6.4 and above <<<, to install pythonscript manually.

then download the 32 bit emmet plugin emmet-npp.zip from >>> here <<< and extract it.

important note: the official version of the emmet plugin for notepad++ is only available for 32 bit.
if you have notepad++ 7.6.4. 64 bit and you want to keep it, you could try to use the experimental,
unofficial, user compiled 64 bit version of the emmet plugin from >>> here <<<.

go to the notepad++ 7.6.4 menu plugins > open plugins folder to open your plugins folder, and create a new folder called EmmetNPP.

copy all files and folders from the extracted emmet-npp.zip into the EmmetNPP folder you have created.

note: your Notepad++\plugins\EmmetNPP folder should now contain a file called EmmetNPP.dll and another sub-folder that is also called EmmetNPP.

now restart notepad++ and you will see both the emmet plugin and the python script plugin at your plugins menu.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @NobleRogue

the official solution to save your settings to a sync folder or remote location is using the cloud option at the preferences.

important note: it’s recommended to use a local drive location only, as a network drive that is offline for just less than one second can lead to session data loss.
this local folder should then be permanently synchronised to your server (e.g. using owncloud, cloud station, dropbox, onedrive, etc).
keep in mind, that without the presence of this folder, notepad++ will not be able to function as expected.

go to settings > preferences > cloud, select set your cloud location path here and browse to the drive and folder you wish to use, as seen at the screenshot below:

Imgur

the custom cloud folder will now contain the user’s settings, custom context menus and custom shortcuts/run menu entries.

@Matthew-Martell

game saves are usually proprietary binary format files, which can not be cheated/edited with notepad++, so the settings mentioned above will not help you.
newer games and all online games also have a tampering mechanism for all saves.

note: if you follow a guide on how to cheat at your specific game, you will find the tools or hex editors you need, mentioned there.

@Ekopalypse

good news: autodetect character encoding is already fixed and available at the upcoming 7.6.5 release.
