@Luke-Liukonen you can no longer just drop DLL’s in the plugin folder, you have to create a sub-folder in the plugin dir and put it there.
E.g. instead of “plugins/CoolFeature.dll” you have to put it in “plugins/CoolFeature/CoolFeature.dll”

@Bingomen said in translate plugin:

I can not install the translator plugin

What were you using? What did you try? What did you get when you tried?

Please read this FAQ and then reply with more details.

The Scintilla.h file in this template is out of date, causing runtime errors in x64 plugins.

@Ekopalypse said in External SendMessage to Notepad++ for NPPM_GETOPENFILENAMES and other TCHAR**:

Any reason for that?

Yes. Mostly, because I didn’t know it contained much the same information as Scintilla.h. And I already had my script to convert from .h to a Perl data structure, so even if I had known it was there, I probably would have preferred the .h .

@Ekopalypse

No Worries. Figured out. We have a new security policy at work. I had to login as local admin to do any application software install.

All good.

Thanks,

@Meta-Chuh said in code alignment plugin got disabled in in the new version release:

Well, in a nutshell:

In folder C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins create folder CodeAlignmentNpp > transfer files from the folder CodeAlignmentNpp_v14.1_x64.

THE END. 🙃

@Сергей-Друзь said in FunctionList Plugin v2.1:

…this plugin seems to make it easy and fast to work with functions. Am I right? 🙃

🙃 Like I said before, I didn’t know. I just downloaded the source code and read the readme.txt: “This sources contains a dockable function list for Notepad++ version 5.1 UNICODE. With this plugin you could easy browse between functions in a file.”

So, yes, as I thought, it was a plugin that implemented an early version of what became the builtin View > Function List. There is no reason to continue trying to install it (and many reasons not to: it was optimized for a version of Notepad++ that is 9+ years out of date; it is a 32-bit DLL and you have 64-bit Notepad++, so it is not compatible; it’s features have been superseded by the builtin feature; …) I suggest not trying to install it anymore (and deleting all the instances of the three files in different locations), since it won’t do anything for you.

Just in case you aren’t aware, here the link how to develop a npp plugin.

@Ekopalypse

Thanx, with procmon i find that .ini file was in another place:

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config\

I also have an IDE installed in Russian language. In order for the icons to work, I need to translate the files in the folder as well:

C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\MenuIcons\MenuIcons\

alt text

For example:
Menu > Edit > Copy
Menu > Edit > Paste

Translate to:
Menu > Правка > Копировать
Menu > Правка > Вставить

alt text

@CAKEbuilder

as @PeterJones already posted you need to implement isUnicode function and return True.
In addition, these functions need to be implemented as well

isUnicode -> return True always getName -> return your plugin name setInfo -> informs your plugin about notepad++ and scintilla handles beNotified -> called in case of npp or scintilla events messageProc -> called in case of windows messages forwarded by npp getFuncsArray -> return the functions which should be available within your plugin menu

@Ahmad-Awada

In Notepad++ syntax highlighting and code folding is managed by the editing component Scintilla. This is an external open source project and the basis for a lot of editors and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).

Notepad++ only provides native support for programming languages that are supported by Scintilla. But it is possible to create control files for so called UDLs (User Defined Languages) to extend the language support of Notepad++. However, the configurator of UDLs integrated in Notepad++ has some limitations, thus it is almost not possible to achieve the same quality of language support for UDLs as for languages natively supported by Scintilla.

So, you have two options:

Go to >>> the project site of Scintilla <<< to file a feature request for including GCode as a natively supported language. But it likely will take a long time until it has been implemented. In Notepad++, go to (menu) Language -> Define your language. The UDL configurator will open and you are ready to start defining GCode as UDL. >>> This page <<< of the Notepad++ user manual provides some basic info how to do that and, most important, you will find there a link to a detailed manual.

@Aravind-Senguttuvan

I’m totally sure you know the meaning of “rhetorical question” because you asked something like that.

However, in software development such stylistic means are not helpful. Instead you should ask questions like “Is there any setting to avoid the message ‘Close the files?’ when Compare Plugin found a 100% match of two files?” or “Where can I file a feature request to avoid the message … ?”.

The answer to the first question would be simply “No”. The answer to the second question would be “Go to >>> the GitHub repository <<< of the plugin.”

@Carl-Witthoft What exactly is not working? Which version of the plugin do you use?

Since https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/commit/c85225bb5272e8e0dc7f5e36ba1acfbdd7ff0fba -> tag 1.1.3 used by N++ 7.8.1 the plugin is avialable via the builtin pluginAdmin of N++.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for!!

@Alan-Pugh I had the same problem, but I figured out it was a UAC problem, i.e. run Notepad++ as Administrator

For both npp versions

create PythonScript folder under plugins directory

Npp >= 7.8

download PythonScript 1.5.2 zip and extract it to newly created PythonScript folder -> done.

Npp >= 7.7 and < 7.8

download PythonScript 1.5.2 zip and extract it to newly created PythonScript folder move Python27.dll from PythonScript folder to notepad++.exe directory.
-> Done.

@cmeriaux

it looks that the general environment variables are defined in
Microsoft.Cpp.Common.props file which is located at
...\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets

and the toolset specific props are read from
...\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets

So I assume that one of those props files point to an non-existent atl include path.
