So, I should have googled before posting. I’m sorry - :( So if you are wondering you can go to — C:\Users\USER PROFILE HERE\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup —this works provided you didnt change the default setting (not too sure how didnt look for it)

If you did change it you can try to see the path --in notpad ++
*click on settings
*preferences
*backup
*should see the backup path
**this is where you can make adjustments to backups (how and where)

Hope this helps others

Of course, one could take less of a “brute force” method than I initially did…and check the source code to arrive at the same 259 character limit:

RunDlg.cpp: INT_PTR CALLBACK RunDlg::run_dlgProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch (message) { //...snip... case WM_COMMAND : { switch (wParam) { //...snip... case IDOK : { TCHAR cmd[MAX_PATH]; ::GetDlgItemText(_hSelf, IDC_COMBO_RUN_PATH, cmd, MAX_PATH); WinDef.h: #define MAX_PATH 260

The GetDlgItemText function docs discuss the one-byte null terminator for C-style strings (thus 259+1=260) and the truncation that occurs when the limit is exceeded, so all is explained. :-D

solved. please delete my post.

Thanks!! I’ll give it a go when I get a chance. :-)

Hello, @Baka-csaba and All,

Could you check if you, presently, use the Word Wrap feature ( menu View > Word Wrap ) ? I often noticed that this reduces, drastically, easy navigation, throughout important files, even if their contents do not exceed the present window editor length !

I just did a test, with a 25Mb file, containing 458,000 lines, about. For instance, when trying to get the end of this file, with the Ctrl + End shortcut, it took ~6s, on my old Win XP machine, with the Word Wrap option set. When this option is unset, the same operation is instantaneous :-))

And, idem, with the Page Up / Page Down keys. So, I would advise you to always uncheck this feature, when navigating in big size files :-))

Best Regards,

guy038

which plugin do you want to install ?
which version of np++ 32 bit do you currently have ?
how did you try to install your desired plugin ?

@Bruno-Guillemette

plugin manager is an external project

this issue is known and will probably occur if the checksum of the desired plugin dll at the current plugin manager download location differs from the checksum that is currently in the plugin manager’s list

maybe it helps, if you file another issue report about this at the plugin manager’s project site
