@remotemachining ,
First, the user you @-mentioned was just a random user who had commented, and is not the same as the person who announced the plugin. The user you mentioned hasnât been here since making the post in January 2024; and the user who announced the MarkdownText plugin hasnât been here sincec 2021 (nor have there been any updates to that plugin since that year). I am doubtful that youâd get a response from either of them.
On to the specifics of your issue:
Where did you download the plugin? Did you use a specific URL (if so, share it), or did you just use Plugins Admin?
I ask, because this discussion is about the MarkdownText plugin, which would show up as MarkdownText.dll, but the error messages you typed out are referencing a plugin directory NppMarkdownPanel (which implies the NppMarkdownPanel.dll) but referencing a DLL in a lib sub-directory called MarkdigWrapper.dll â thatâs not the normal way that Notepad++ plugins are set up (unless this plugin has multiple DLLs involved, and itâs just having a problem with one of them).
However, your messages imply you are actually using a different plugin, NppMarkdownPanel which is available in the Plugins Admin inside Notepad++, and has been updated much more recently⊠Assuming thatâs the case, I tried installing that plugin and looking at a simple Markdown file: I, too, get an error message about that MarkdigWrapper.dll sub-library. Looks like thereâs a major bug thatâs making it incompatible.
I went to the most-recent issue that they said they closed, and the people testing the build were using Notepad++ 8.4.9 to do the testing (which would have been current in early 2023, when the last plugin release was made). And I still get the error with plugin v0.7.3 and NPP-64 v8.4.9. I also tried, with the same error, in the 32bit Notepad++/plugin combo.
However, if I instead grab plugin v0.7.0 (which is the version from Plugins Admin) in the 32bit, it works properly for me. And if I use Plugins Admin in 64bit Notepad++ and download the one there (which says 0.7.1 in the dialog, but the pluginâs About box only says 0.7.0), it also works.
So if you downloaded directly from github, try removing the manual installation of the plugin, and instead install using Plugins Admin, and thereâs a good chance it will start working for you.
I personally chose the MarkdownViewer++ plugin (0.8.2) from Plugins Admin, and that one works reliably for me. But I do readily admit it hasnât been updated since 2018, so is obviously not supported anymore.
