Your system might contain more than one functionList.xml and Notepad++ is using a different one than you’d expect or one of the plugins is interfering, try running N++ without plugins.

Well, you are absolutely right! There was another functionlist.xml file located in my roaming directory. I’ve kicked out that one and now all is working fine.

Great catch, didn’t see it myself!

Hello all,

@Dinesh-J-Prakash , thank you for reporting this.
@Claudia-Frank , thank you for commenting.
@guy038 , thank you for the detailed investigation.

This problem has already been reported in the GitHub project page (https://github.com/pnedev/compare-plugin/issues/128)
and I have already fixed it in the development branch. I’m preparing a new release but since it is a major plugin rework and I’m quite busy these days it is taking longer than I thought. I hope I’ll be able to release the new version in month or two.
Just FYI the problem was with the hashing function used in the compare process.

OK, I’ve found how to deal with it. At least, it’s one of possible solutions:

int nFiles = (int) SendNppMsg(NPPM_GETNBOPENFILES, 0, 0); if ( !SendNppMsg(NPPM_DOOPEN, (WPARAM) 0, (LPARAM) params.c_str()) ) { nCmdResult = CMDRESULT_FAILED; DWORD dwAttr = ::GetFileAttributes(params.c_str()); if ( (dwAttr != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES) && ((dwAttr & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) ) { // NPPM_DOOPEN unexpectedly returns 0 when a folder is specified // as its argument, though in fact it does open all the files // from that folder. int nFilesNow = (int) SendNppMsg(NPPM_GETNBOPENFILES, 0, 0); if ( nFilesNow != nFiles ) { nCmdResult = CMDRESULT_SUCCEEDED; } } }

Thanks for the reply
Problem Statement:
In my project, I do shell scripting and use notepad++ to write the script. I need to follow some rules while writing the code. Thus, I want to develop a plugin (which works like a code reviewer) which when selected in notepad++, could automatically check the code(script) at the run time while I am writing the code(script) in notepad++ and display an error message if any rule is not followed.
For e.g. SELECT word should always be in upper case. So whenever I write SELECT word in small case in notepad++ then an error message should popup.
Can you please suggest how should I go for it using C# template for plugin development?

The x64 at github you could add as pull request. For the access to the server you need the help of @bruderstein, but his is currently seldom around. I could copy the data of a x64 PR and create a corresponding entry.

Now also processes ANSI encoded SQL with special chars

I’ve made a couple, it should be pretty simple (it’s just a powershell script)
The case which complicates things for putting any extension on there (including the plugin manager, but that might have some advantages) is what if when updating, Notepad++ is already open? The files are locked and the update will fail. It needs a way to schedule the update.
