Hello Bill, I have to thank you as I wouldn’t have discovered this feature yet. Very interesting, indeed. Let’s see if it’s possible to have something like approved-test-evironment gets automatically updated on server when files are stored/overwritten in production folder. Cheers Claudia

Claudia, My data is always in the same format, so a macro would work. Thank you very much for the coding! Bill Campbell

That is way off topic.

Because nobody has added it. Many of the themes are missing certain colors for languages for as in this case for an entire language.

@Ontarah what you are looking for is called word wrap and yes, it’s in the view menu. Cheers Claudia

Hello Alex-Bell I guess this can be done by using Find/Replace dialog. \n is used to represent LF. You either have to selext Extended or regular expression in seach mode. But be warned, windows eol is \r\n so be careful when replaceing \n. Cheers Claudia

Thank you so much Claudia. I can “see” now. :-) Susan (milletsa)

Hello John-R-Ownby-Hibner, what do you mean by keeps getting a ‘special character’ added ? Does it mean while editing the file you suddenly have those chars listed? Can you check which encoding is used when editing the file? Which npp version and operating system do you use? Where does this file come from? Different os like Linux, Mac, … Can you make a screenshot and upload it to imgur or similar hosters? imgur, no registration required. Cheers Claudia

Whoops! Sorry. Found it here: Adding Notepad++ to Windows 10 Right-Click context menu

Hello Rudi, in addition, the npp wiki has some information about this. Cheers Claudia

I still think this is related to the session snapshot and periodic backup functionality. A few questions I have a number of bash and perl scripts that depend on the size of a file after an editing session What means editing session? You edited the file or the bash/perl scripts? What I’ve seen from npp (Notepad++), is that if you just close the editor, it will write the file, but it doesn’t shrink the size of the file to the new smaller size. As said, this sounds like snapshot and periodic backup functionality is ative, because otherwise npp would ask you whether to save any of the modified files. Is this the case? Does npp ask you to save the files if you close the editor? It is updating the file, in that the content is gone on next edit, or run (if a script), but the file size does not change! How do you check that the file size didn’t change? Did you try to open that file with a different editor, preferable a hex editor? Is it still empty? Cheers Claudia

I still think you can’t blame npp if windows shuts down abnormally but I understand your argument that having mru list and opened files recorded more often it might have recognized it when starting up again but still, there cannot be a guarantee that it will always work. Btw. do you know that there is a backup and session snapshot functionality? Settings -> Preferences -> Backup-> “Enable session snapshot and periodic backup” maybe this can assist you in addition. In the meantime you could ask for an enhancment/feature request here. Cheers Claudia

It depends what you downloaded exactly. The exe can be ran by Windows, the zip can be extracted by Window’s default zip application, and the 7z can be opened by 7-Zip.
