I am trying real hard to remember what plugin i used that ran multiple macros at once. i really need it. it was a toolbar button
Unfortunately unless someone knows from that brief description what plugin it is, you might have to do the hard yards and manually check for differences between the 2 installations.
Firstly you will need to have the same type of installation 32bit or 64bit. That’s because some plugins are ONLY made in the 1 version.
Then by using the “Debug Info” you can see quickly which plugins the old installation has. From your post I suspect that may not be possible, otherwise you would likely have already figured it out. Have you by chance ever had to provide “debug info” on this forum, that may be some help to you.
To complicate matters, if you happen to have an old Notepad++ version in the original, and are downloading a much later version for the new installation, you will come across the “incompatible” issue. The most recent versions of Notepad++ had a major change made in coding (API calls I think), and this caused a lot of the plugins to be incompatible.
Then there is the issue that some plugins were never listed in the “Plugin list” as viewed from the link in Notepad++ PlugIns Admin window (bottom right for the repository). Some of those developers never got them added so to download you will need to find the alternate site for that.
I myself have no need to install plugins, so I don’t know which one your description points to.
Good luck
