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

@guy038 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. Error You are only allowed to edit posts for 180 second(s) after posting

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
