@Thomas-Bihn

strange, what about a restart of npp?
Do you using customized language version of npp?
OS?
npp version?
Plugins?
Did you try to start npp with -noPlugn switch?

Hello, @Murray-Sobol
there are difference but in default configuration they are hardly seen.

Goto
Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->White space symbols
and set foreground color to black

then it should be more obvious.

Ah! So not only too stupid, but also too blind to notice a singular deviation from otherwise very uniform use of camel case for function names. Unless “goto” is now a single English word in its own right and not just a programming command. Grumble grumble.

Thanks again Claudia for getting me unstuck !!

Hello @TechTony2016,

afaik, not yet supported by npp. If you have python script plugin installed you could do

Try an Excel and not a Notepad++ forum?

Hello Marcelo-Luz,

I assume I know what’s going on.
You start npp as elevated process (as seen by Admin mode : ON) but, I assume,
explorer was start with normal privileges. When you now, drag a file from explorer
to npp you get that kind of behaviour as windows doesn’t allow it.
In general, a process with lower privilege cannot drag something to a process with higher privileges. So, solution would be either to start explorer as admin as well or npp with normal privileges.

@Johan-Torstensson use e as the delimiter and allow nestung with numbers.

@Tha-BeatBeest

because you asking that kind of question I have to assume that you don’t know any programming or scripting language at all or
that you want to achieve something together with npp which you didn’t mentioned yet.
There is no one and only programming/scripting language. Every language has its strength and weakness and it simply depends on
what you really want to achieve.

Hello Bill,

Thanks for the FABULOUS assistance, Claudia!

your welcome.

One other sort-of-related thing: when I was first trying this out several weeks ago, I started with a portable installation, and changes I made >in style configurator were not persistent. Close NPP and reopen, and you’re back to the default style settings.

there are several portable versions out there and they behave differently in term how to store the data. I refer to the “official”
portable version, which is the zip or 7z file you can download on the npp homepage. When using this one, it works as long as
you use the same drive layout on all computers, which, I agree, isn’t normally the same.
The reason is, that, for example, the theme stored in config.xml uses the complete instead of a relative path.
You can change this by editing, with an editor other than npp, the config.xml directly but be aware that changing any other gui option would overwrite it again.
Request to change this has been already adressed.

So, current situation is like this

but by changing it to

it can be used on an usb stick without a problem.

@Anna-Maria-Stechbarth maybe you one checkout the compare plugin?

@Łukasz-Gry it has been reported that Snapshot/Backup functionality can cause that kind of problem.
To deactivate goto Settings->Preferences->Backup and uncheck enable session…
