@guy038 Some of them as you have found are fairly simple to understand. To clarify the rest of them you listed: winfile.attributes is a UTF-8 implementation of the LuaFileSystem library’s attributes function. It is able to query various file attributes. I recommend looking at the link to see the full details. winfile.dir is a UTF-8 implementation of the LuaFileSystem library’s dir function. And as you guess is used for iterating directories. An example can be seen here for recursively walking a directory. winfile.execute is a UTF-8 implementation of the Lua built-in function os.execute for executing shell commands winfile.loadfile is a UTF-8 implementation of the Lua built-in function load for loading (i.e. parsing and compiling) Lua code winfile.open is a UTF-8 implementation of the Lua built-in function io.open for reading and writing to files. winfile.popen is a UTF-8 implementation of the Lua built-in function io.popen to start an external process and return a file descriptor for reading/writing

There are some releases available, latest: https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/releases/tag/0.9.5.19 , but currently not fixed issues are: https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/issues/1 And less critical: https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/issues/3

This FAQ has links that explain why that isn’t going to happen, and how to manually install the Plugin Manager.

Are you copying the files manually? Or by PluginManager?

Is the observed crash of Snippets the known one https://github.com/ffes/nppsnippets/issues/14 ? Or a new one for which you might create an new issue to get it fixed.

@Hussam-Mahmoud-El-Maghraby To get good help, you’re probably going to have to show a bit more data. Sure, some ambitious people here could make some guesses (i.e., do a lot of mental work), but why put them thru that? Put 4 spaces on the front of every line of data in Notepad++ before copying and pasting here, for best results. If you see a black background on your data in the preview pane as you are composing your post, you are doing it right. Such a black box would look like this: I acutally have 4 spaces before the "I", when I was Composed Me, too, but before my "M"

@Ben-Saunders seems to be a known issue which can be solved updating the plugin. Cheers Claudia

@vinsworldcom178 I haven’t used MinGW for windows builds so can’t say for sure what your problem is. But I have described here what I have done to build npp and scintilla with VS2017 community edition. The steps for plugins should be quite similar. A more detailed version include a lot of screenshots can be downloaded or viewed from here If something is unclear, let us know. (together with the name of the plugin you tried to build) Cheers Claudia

@Miloš-Bogdanović You are asking a FAQ. It unzips fine for me.
