For those who weren’t watching:

ozone10 made a better fix for the tab-control: PR #16673 has been accepted ozone10 also fixed my “secondarily” report about the listbox scrollbar from above, which I reported in issue #16674, fixed in PR #16676 (accepted) progressbars also don’t go to darkmode, and ozone10 has proposed PR#16687, which hasn’t been accepted yet, but hopefully will be.

So at least 2 of those 3 (and hopefully the third) will be in v8.8.2

Meanwhile, CollectionInterface v1.1 has been released – the new version will be in PluginsAdmin for v8.8.2, or you can install it from the assets in the release at https://github.com/pryrt/NppPlugin-CollectionInterface/releases/tag/v1.1.0 :

Adds DarkMode support (with N++ v8.5.4 or newer; in earlier versions, dialog will be LightMode still) [I do my own subclassing on the TabControl for v8.5.4-v8.8.1; it will use the builtin starting in v8.8.2] Allow selecting multiple files for bulk download (#6) Add label to progress bar so “100% [DONE]” is more clear (#9) Fix crash if firewall blocks download (#13) and make error handling better in other edge cases as well

After reading the answers, it seems that the proposal for improvement of this OP is not a real good Idea.

Thank you all for the clarifying answers.

Here is a funny scenario:

type “menu” in the Search textbox; select Plugins -> NppMenuSearch -> Menu Search… press Enter.
As the result, the Search textbox does not have a focus!

Well, I know this is a strange use-case: call itself, but anyway :)

IMHO the features of this plugin should be implemented directly into N++, maybe adding a further tab page to the current Search and Replace dialog to include the features of this plugin and its future evolution.

Update: when I inspect the WndProc messages that come through $"{m.Msg} {m.WParam} {m.LParam}", I note these (mostly tangential, but I’d like to document them):

Pressing ‘normal’ keys (e.g. a-z, arrows, 0-9, punctuation) does not send a message to the ElementHostEx, but instead (after I turned the volume up on my laptop), it somehow triggers a bell sound. Mouse click comes through with 528 513 36634781 and 33 723656 33619969 Switching to another program sends 8 0 0, and switching back to NPP sends 1024 0 0 Pasting into the TextBox works, but does not trigger any messages. Similarly for copying, deleting and backspacing. Opening the WPF About window sent 8 1116900 0

I’d like to convert the msg id to a string, I’m not familiar with their values. But there still aren’t that many messages, so perhaps I haven’t set up the dock panel correctly. I’ll try the same thing in the existing Forms version and see what comes up for comparison.

Although the registry is actually the Windows standard, I would personally avoid it and rather use the plugin config directory. Can be determined via NPPM_GETPLUGINSCONFIGDIR.
However, I would create a subdirectory with the plugin name and add a json, xml, toml … file there.

It occurs to me that I could implement a feature in HugeFiles that would load a chunk of a file, run a plugin command on that chunk, append it to a new file, and repeat for each chunk.

Such a feature would AFAICT eliminate the need for scripts like the one posted above.

If this post gets at least 4 upvotes, I will consider implementing this feature. I expect it would be a lot of work but potentially useful.

@D-V, please post your Notepad++ debug info. I tested installing the Analyse plugin and it installed without any errors on Notepad++ v8.8.1 (64-bit) and also Notepad++ v8.8.1 (32-bit).

You get the debug info from Notepad++'s ? / Debug Info ... menu.

To post your debug info here in the community forums use </> on the forum’s menu bar and then replace the code_text that </> generates with the debug info.

@MAPJe71 I like your solution. Unfortunately I get all comment lines from my (python) code fences into the function list. I tried some things without success, it seems that my skills in regex are limited.

@martin-honnen said in Any idea why self compiled plugin works on "normal" Windows 11 but doesn't in Windows Sandbox?:

[T]he used software needs the Visual C++ runtime …

Runtime DLLs are not needed if you link them statically, i.e., use the /MT linker option or put the
<RuntimeLibrary>MultiThreaded</RuntimeLibrary> property under <ClCompile> in the *.vcxproj file.

See https://learn.microsoft.com/cpp/build/reference/md-mt-ld-use-run-time-library

Hi everyone,

@andrea-tomassi’s PR was really helpful, and it was accepted of course, moreover this gave the project a great shake-up! Of course, the update has also been added to the nppPluginList repository and was recently accepted.

If someone doesn’t want to wait, manual installation is available as usual with the v0.5 release (unzip the appropriate ZIP file to the plugins/NppOpenAI folder):
https://github.com/Krazal/nppopenai/releases/tag/v0.5.0

The last few months have been very stressful for me (there was a nationwide update in the Hungarian .HU domain name registry, which also affected our developments too), but now things are starting to calm down and I hope to have more time for the plugin. ✨

Once again, thank you to those of you who are trying out the plugin, and I am very grateful for all the contributions!

Tested v8.8.1 being quite a new and clean portable and reopens new 1 folded

Set as Python language folded at if on line 1. Programmatically regarded as line 0.

new 1:

if a: b

session.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <NotepadPlus> <Session activeView="0"> <mainView activeIndex="0"> <File firstVisibleLine="0" xOffset="0" scrollWidth="39" ... snipped ...> <Fold line="0" /> </File> </mainView> <subView activeIndex="0" /> </Session> </NotepadPlus>

See the xml tag Fold. Folding is saved and restored.

More details might be needed to solve your issue, like version being used … as ? -> Debug info... shows.
