Thank you so much! This helped a great deal.

@Raul-Chiarella Only thing I can think of is if you have a keyboard shortcut installed for Notepad++? Search in Windows for notepad++.exe and for every instance of that file found, right-click on it and open the properties. In the Properties dialog, in the Shortcut tab (which should show by default), check that the Shortcut key: field says None. If not, select the Shortcut key field and delete the contents. It’s a long shot, but this could cause the behavior you’re describing.

Hello Michael,

I’m not a lawyer and don’t know if this legal but what about using an additional
keyword field which has the a license statement pointing to the gnu website?
E.g http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0
To avoid mismatches, all should be encased of course.

Well there seem to be a misunderstanding what backup means and how it should be treaten.
Backup is, in best case, a duplicate of a file and in worst case your original file without the changes of the last saving.
That a backup file can be lost, as well as the original file, is possible. Many external influences can causing this.

To use backup functionality, you normally would edit a file and save it when done, which would then update
the original file. In case of a crash there is a minimal possibility that both files (original and backup) are open and
get corrupted because operating system wasn’t able to close files properly.

What you do seems to be working on temporary files always, so there is no backup functionality.

Regarding the backup every 7 seconds.
Of course, there must be made a decision how often a file should be backed up but one must keep in mind
that shorten the time period means increasing the possibility that the file is open while crash happens.
And if it happens that often I would say you have to start investigating what is causing the crash because
next time it might be that the whole disc is damaged.

Regarding backup functionality lost. Did you check the settings if they are still set?

Hello @glennfromiowa,

in general, yes, but if one uses cyrillic letters I assume that he/she uses the appropriate encoding as well
otherwise the chars aren’t displayed correctly anyway. In my case I used utf-8 and when comparing different
lexers I can see that they behave differently. When putting all chars from 0x400 - 0x4ff in an document
I would assume that these chars are black foreground and white background (my default setting),
which is what is done.

Now selecting e.g. SQL lexer, parts of the chars get colored blue while the rest stays black - not expected,
all should still be colored black as the chars aren’t SQL keywords.
When using python lexer anything is colored black again.

Unfortunattely, there isn’t a pattern which chars get colored wrongly. Part of the lexers coloring the same
chars incorrectly, whereas other lexers color other chars wrongly.

Hello Henning,

Error comes from the plugin.

/** Loads the settings.xml file if it has not already been loaded. Creates it if it doesn't exist. */ bool readSettingsFile() { DWORD lastErr; tXmlError xmlErr; LPCWSTR settingsFile; if (!_xmlDocument) { settingsFile = sys_getSettingsFile(); if (!pth::fileExists(settingsFile)) { pth::createFileIfMissing(settingsFile, INITIAL_CONTENTS); _isDirty = true; } _xmlDocument = new tinyxml2::XMLDocument(); xmlErr = _xmlDocument->LoadFile(settingsFile); if (xmlErr != kXmlSuccess) { lastErr = ::GetLastError(); msg::error(lastErr, L"%s: Error %u loading the settings file.", _W(__FUNCTION__), xmlErr); return false; } } return true; }

Seems that plugin can’t find settings.xml file.

Do you know whether the author of sessionmanager is active in this board ?
No, I don’t know.

Thanks, it was the Session Manager plugin. It wasn’t updated for nearly a year though so no idea why it broke.
