    @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. Cheers Claudia

    Automatic backup not working properly

    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? Cheers Claudia

    @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? Cheers Claudia

    The problem with SQL syntax highlighting with Cyrillic identifiers.

    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. Cheers Claudia

    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. Cheers Claudia

    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. Cheers Claudia

    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 editor.setFoldFlags(0) Cheers Claudia

    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. Cheers Claudia

    @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. Cheers Claudia

    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 <GUIConfig name="stylerTheme" path="D:\ProgramData\notepad++\themes\Bespin.xml" /> but by changing it to <GUIConfig name="stylerTheme" path=".\themes\Bespin.xml" /> it can be used on an usb stick without a problem. Cheers Claudia

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