    Hello Claudia,

    Thanks for the answer. I have already assigned a shortcut to the print now function and I’m happy with this solution.
    I don’t know if I will use the Customize toolbar plugin but it will probably help someone else.
    I’m using a professional GMail account linked to Frédéric Bagnol from my company who created the account since I don’t use my personnal GMail account at work.

    Best regards,
    Laurent Lyaudet

    Hello Ernie,

    you did it - the missing dropbox connection is/was the porblem.
    RegOpenKey didn’t take that long, because it is like this

    os tries to do an action (e.g. query registry)
    once that is done, an event gets sends telling us if it failed or was successful.
    procmoc captures that event. So we need to compare this event with the previous one to
    see if it has been taken to long.

    So in your example RegOpenKey took only 0.0000142 seconds

    5:37:51.1926924 PM notepad++.exe 4508 RegQueryKey HKLM SUCCESS Query: Name
    5:37:51.1927066 PM notepad++.exe 4508 RegOpenKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\CTF\KnownClasses NAME NOT

    but next CreateFile took ~40 seconds.

    5:38:31.8234932 PM notepad++.exe 4508 CreateFile

    Regarding npp and dropbox. Npp doesn’t know about any local images, it treats the dropbox as a “normal” folder.
    So when it has been configured to open \\OFFICE-DESKTOP\Dropbox\Private\ERNIES it will try it and only this one.

    The reason why this took so long on windows 10 and not on windows 7 might be related to different tcp settings.
    When npp tries to open the connection it will wait until the responsible os component comes back. In this case
    the os has a defined value how long it waits before returning that it has been failed. The parameters in question
    can be found in the registry under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip and with explanation here.

    But be warned, there needs to be a good tcp/ip understanding when trying to optimze those settings.

    And regarding the -loadingTime parameter, it is case sensitive, so -loadingtime won’t work.

    Cheers

    Hello @Sven-Van-de-Velde,

    you could install python script plugin (or lua script plugin but not 100% sure if
    it is supporting open file in its current release, it’s pretty new) to get this done.

    Just out of my mind you would need editor.getSelText, editor.gotoLine and npp.open() to solve this.

    Because you wrote

    If not, would i be able to make a script in notepad++ that does that or is there a plug-in available that i can install and configure to facilitate this functional requirement.

    I don’t post the script as I do not want to spoil the party to develop such script ;-)

    Cheers

    Hello @Matt-Grice,

    but the scroll bar is visible isn’t it? Did you try resizing npp to a slightly smaller size and see if this help?
    Unfortunattely I don’t have such an environment to test myself.

    Cheers

    Hello @Chirag-Jangid,

    and solution for the Explorer might be to create the shortcut yourself.
    Press F5 (I assume you didn’t reassign this shortcut) or use Run->Run
    and put it

    explorer.exe $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)

    press save it, give it a meaningful name and assign the accelerator(shortcut)

    @DaveyD, thx for helping out ;-)

    Cheers

    @dail,

    Thank you very much.
    Am I not right in officially adding “Sherlock Holmes” to Claudia’s name?
    You must be impressed as well, aren’t you?

    Hello @Richard-Landén,

    either by using a different theme or by modifying the existing one.

    Settings->Style Configurator

    use global styles and global override if it should be set to all languages
    or select one particular language.
    If global background color should be used click enable global background color
    But be aware that coloring of languages are different so it could be that you need to
    tweak different other parts to see everything clear.

    Cheers

    Hello @guy038,

    well, to be honest, I never tried it - I hope Thomas understood that I was talking about normal searches.
    I should have mentioned it more clearly, for sure.

    Hello @Chirag-Jangid,

    In settings->preferences->misc you can specify the extension yourself
    but yes, in save dialog you have to add the extension.

    @mookiefdr

    Header is checked; footer is not; they both print out dark; only the font size, not the font type is displayed (font type box is blank for both)

    PDF print is dark; in fact, everything else I have cut and pasted into is printed dark without settings adjustments (MS Office, Libreoffice, Adobe Reader, MS Notepad)

    thanks, Rick

    Hello @Jose-Cunha,

    you can use UDL (Language->Define your language) to create the syntax highlighting and create an api.xml
    (check …\plugins\APIs\php.xml for more information) to get the hints on a function etc…

    .
    So nice to hear from you, thank you so much, Cees! I appreciated the /n & /r explanation. (As well as the link. Pfffft! I would need to spend a good chunk of time to try and understand what they were talking about.)

    But it sounds like /n is what would be resorted to when the Line Feed characters appear on their own. (By the way, I was a bit lost with your line, “View, Show Symbol, Show End of Line seems to be linked to a keyboard shortcut” in my case. Did I mention something like that?)

    Last night I was working on my document and… THE DISASTER HAPPENED AGAIN!

    What’s more, it wasn’t just the lines getting messed up, but a central section of the document went missing.

    I quickly went to the directory of the file and made a copy of the file. (I have to be quick, because in ten minutes, assuming the “Autosave” was working, the file would be saved to the now corrupted version.) When I opened up the copy, it seemed the Autosave was working, as the changes seemed up-to-date. So I did a little minor editing, and replaced the now-corrupted original with the copy.

    My Notepad++ has been working quite well, except for (as would take place in earlier times) the occasional appearances of the LF characters. (I would close, and re-open, and they would be gone.) Yet now I was drawn to your speculation that my copy might be buggy. (But why would it be buggy, if it was working fine before…)

    At any rate, I’ve got v. 6.7.9. Do you think that is a bad one? As for Plug-ins, the only one I installed (and just days ago) was the primary Autosave one. The rest (Plug-in Manager, Converter, MIME Tools, NppExport, NppFTP) came with program.

    .

    Hello @Zdzislaw-Twardy,

    afaik this isn’t possible as it is a fixed dialog but if it is related to programming languages only then
    you should already get e.g. the powershell script extension selected, of course only if the lexer has been selected.

    Claudia Frank matches the point with her contribution: “…another issue is when having class code which isn’t indented then it doesn’t find the function as well…”.

    Thanks a lot…

    Hello @Kurt-Ludikovsky,

    I don’t understand your answer to the question.
    Maybe you are referring to a different post?
    Or should it be another question?

    Hello @AL-Hasan-Haj-Asaad

    Mac platform still a big problem

    there are different possibilities to run notepad++ on a mac (not natively but it is possible)
    A) run npp within a vm -> parallels support windows
    B) use software like winebottles to run npp on mac

    I don’t know why does not a big program such NPP++ support this platform _?

    npp uses windows api heavily and os’s like osx and linux do have different api,
    so in order to support those os’s you need to either provide three different versions
    or introduce an additional layer which abstracts each os api with the benefit to slow
    down npp execution.

    In regards to your question,
    is a bit of a hack and works only if char is added.
    What needs to be done first is described here

    The script itself

    import winsound soundfile = "C:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav" def callback_CHARADDED(args): winsound.PlaySound(soundfile, winsound.SND_FILENAME) editor.clearCallbacks([SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED]) editor.callback(callback_CHARADDED, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED])

    Of course you need to change the path to the soundfile.

    Cheers
    Claudia
