      @Luke-Parkes-Haskell said in is Notepad++ compliant with GDPR:

      @PeterJones They’re not factual errors, unless you’re being maliciously pedantic.

      That I need an account to access the forums isn’t the issue, this is expected, it’s ‘necessary’ for it to be the case. The software however explicitly asks to process and store your details for use in a mailing list - it doesn’t matter if there is no such list, nor does it matter that the e-mail feature is disabled. The existence of that checkbox, which is mandatory to access these forums, is not GDPR compliant.

      That this isn’t an ‘official support forum’ is also totally irrelevant; it’s the ‘official’ community attached directly to the main project’s website, and is where you’re directed if you’re looking for support through the main website.

      As far as I can tell, that summary post is completely unrelated to the complaint brought up here.

      Here is a screenshot of the signup page where you create an account for these forums:
      b63bf94f-aced-46e9-8c20-5ad4037f0fbb-image.png

      So yes,you’re completely right.

      This page says that you are registering and/or creating an account. It uses both terms. It explicitly requires you to opt into emails as part of signing up. It informs you that it will default to sending you weekly emails, and on the settings page it appears to show the same setting by default:
      c61522db-98dc-4909-983f-5f4f6bf40ada-image.png

      So one or more things should probably change. For those who are concerned about sharing your email, I was too because all the OAuth providers used to sign up use my private email which I did not want to be shared. However when choosing GitHub, even though it says that it will share all your private emails, the forum software defaults to using your [username]@users.noreply.github.com email account. This I’m happy with, and then I changed my username after the fact.

      It’s not that people don’t like politics. They just don’t like political opinions that make them worry their own opinions might be less than perfect.

      Notepad++ Community Markdown differences:

      as compared to a visual average of the preview windows of:

      MarkdownViewer++ plugin — https://github.com/nea/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus Ghostwriter v1.7.1 — https://github.com/wereturtle/ghostwriter

      monospace text is also in red and has a light red background

      multiple single spaced text lines are NOT run-on merged,
      i.e., intermediate line breaks are respected

      None of them support table formatting;
      while the raw text is not lost, the displays do not look similar, with the Npp Community most closely matching github style table formatting (the table row texts are displayed on separate lines)

      Footnotes are displayed on the next line instead of at the end of the document

      Line blocks, inline images and math equation formatting are not supported by any of them

      I don’t think so, when you start the installer the first thing you get is is a LANGUAGE list, NOT a COUNTRY list.

      @Chengyang-Qian You are making the same mistake the CCP makes, namely, after seeing a few Uyghur terrorists, making the leap to Uyghur = terrorist and repressing a whole people in response. Genocide is never pretty.

      I think the question is about a plugin that adds arcade game effects while you digit.

      Something like this:
      https://github.com/BigEggTools/PowerMode
      https://github.com/hoovercj/vscode-power-mode

      The answer is yes, there is at least one porting for Notepad++:

      @PeterJones Fair point. Thanks for taking time to explain that. It’s a minor nuisance and I’d prefer the developers spent their time on more pressing needs.

      Npp alone? No.
      Npp and the tools needed to compile source and build apks? Yes.
      Does it make sense? …

      If you can’t remember for 40 seconds or more, perhaps it isn’t important enough anyway.

      @S-Balaji

      Of course, it may be prudent to limit the scope of the .*? part by adding a leading (?-s):

      Revised Find what box: (?-s)strcpy\((.*?),

      Also, I said:

      escape the parentheses EVERYWHERE…

      I should have said:

      “escape the literal parentheses EVERYWHERE…”

      The parentheses in these substructs are not the literal ones: (?-s) and (.*?)

      Sorry for any confusion. :-)
