The PCs aren’t really converted. My local PC is XP, but the new VM I’m on is Windows 7, and I just copied over as many settings as possible. Most people do just double click the batches, which works fine, but there are two people (myself included) that tend to create the batches, and it’s more convenient to be able to do the testing with a shortcut from within Notepad++ rather than having to go back to the folder and double click the batch between each change. If the batch doesn’t need to be edited before running then we always are just double clicking the batch, but some also have variables that we need to set before running.

I did end up finding the solution on another site though! I ended up needing to run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned from both C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe and then everything work correctly. I appreciate the replies to try to help me figure this out.

@peter-frentrup Would it be possible to also provide a zipped version of the dlls to be able to add it to the pluginmanager which is currently just capable to handle zips and not plain dlls. Therefore a quite old version 0.7.5 is the last one available, see https://npppm.bruderste.in/plugins/view/nppmenusearch and non for x64, see https://github.com/bruderstein/npp-plugins-x64/blob/master/plugins/plugins_template.xml and https://github.com/bruderstein/npp-plugins-x64/blob/master/plugins/plugins64.xml

Thank you for the response! Hope @donho will see this topic and fix it

I recommend you use an online sql console so you can get started with sql, it will simulate a database where you can create tables, insert data into them and query them, for example:

http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/4bd6b/1

Notepad++ is just a text editor so you will be able later to save and edit your sql files in it, but for learning you will need a database and start working with it.

@patrickdrd
if you didn’t find the textfx unicode plugin yet, you can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/TextFX/TextFX v0.26/

For anyone else who runs into this issue its as simple as going into the srt or ass file that you opened and making whatever changes. After that click on the save icon (third from the left in the title bar) and this will save the file changes without altering its structure.

My issue was i was using file then clicking save or save as (not icon) and it was trying to force me to pick a file type which would have altered the file structure. I might have been able to change the extension afterwards but since the different file type would have altered the document it wouldn’t have worked right later.

Good luck all and thanks for the program.
