There’s also a problem here, with the “unsaved” files after closing Npp. Npp knows that some files were unsaved because it saves copies of them. However SCI_GETMODIFY reports that no changes have been made to the files once you reopen them. It would have been really helpful, if this was consistent with the small “save” icon on top of the tab.

It would even be more helpful, so simply be able to ask NPP “isFileDirty” i.e. get the status of the “save” button somehow.

Right now, I have to duplicate all the work the NPP does, i.e. chekc if there’s a copy of the file saved upon opening etc.

Glad this worked for you. Also glad you took time to describe the problem in the original post. Most people post a sentence or two and expect others to know exactly what they want! :)

How did you set the first one? Did you use the Settings=>Preferences=>Editing=>Vertical Edge Settings, put it in “Line Mode” at the appropriate column? Is there some other way you’re setting the one column you already have?

cheers.

I too have had repeated problems installing Compare an occasionally others (XMLTools) but it usually seems to be a problem downloading them. If I install manually that works. I do system administration and have lots of VMs. I routinely install Notepad++ and Compare plugin. Lately I have noticed the plugin installation complaining about not being able to validate the *.dlls associated with various plugin installations. Just today, I was told after installing XMLTools that a newer version than 2.4.6 (which I just installed) was available (2.4.7) but when I checked it said i had the latest.
