You did not only talk about graphomania – a deviation I did not know about earlier – but you also gave a few fine examples of the disease. Thank you for the lesson.

More news. After getting 24 32-bit Plug-ins working on Windows 7, I renamed the Program Files>Notepad++ folder on XP to “Notepad++ Org”, copied the whole Program Files>Notepad++ folder tree structure to XP from my Windows 7 box, and got 21 of the 24 Plug-ins to work on XP. The only problem is now, that I do not have a “Plug-in Manager” or “Plug-in Admin” that works on XP with Notepad++ V7.6.4. I can technically only install “Plug-in Manager” on XP, whereas I cannot even install “Plug-in Admin” on XP. However even if I install “Plug-in Manager”, “Plug-in Manager” cannot manager the Plug-ins running under Notepad++ V7.6.4, since V7.6.4 uses a different installation configuration. So my option now is to install the 32-bit Plug-ins on the Windows 7 box and then copy same to the XP box, and if they work then great, if not then bad luck hey? All you have to do, if the 32-bit Plug-ins do not work on XP, is to answer yes when asked if you wish to remove for compatibility reasons, or delete the incompatible Plug-in name folder under the Program Files/notepad++\plugins folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\csvquery to remove the 32-bit “csvquery” Plug-in. I hope that what I have learned is of some help to someone. Cheers from Aussie mate and happy Notepad++ing hey? :-)

For those being directed here by other links from the forum, @Ekopalypse has a newer version available at his github, here.

and for devs to get some idea for what to do.

Perhaps the devs already know where they want to focus their efforts for their product, and don’t need big thinkers. Probably what would help is big doers.

but I have other more important things to do as of now.

Well, good thing you could stop by for a few minutes to lay out some future design work for Notepad++.

This post is made in jest, but there is some truth in it as well.

I found a fix, at least for my PC. On a Win7x64 system using 32-bit N++, I had the same problem with every post-7.6 version I had installed. None of them ever had the Plugins install correctly. I got it working, finally, with 7.8.9, but it’s likely the same issue as prior versions. I’m replying to this because it seems to have the most information/discussion.

The problem was that the GUP.exe file in the notepad++/updater/ folder wasn’t ever starting. I watched my Task Manager and checked windows error logs… it never started. So I had a hunch, anc ran the GUP.exe program directly, and Windows popped up its UAC nag window ('Open File - Security Warning). I unchecked “Always ask before opening this file” to clear it with the UAC, clicked ‘Run’, and it showed the standard Notepad++ Available Update message. I clicked ‘no’.

I then re-opened Notepad++, used the Plugins Admin to install a plugin, and it WORKED. Hopefully this will help others with the same problem, which was (for clarity) that selecting to install a plugin through the ‘Plugins Admin’, click ‘Yes’ to restart, and NPP closes but never re-opens on its own. When opened manually, nothing was installed.

@guy038 ,

Thank you. Now, I will have to look at your code, but while I was signed out, I had another one of those epiphany things. :-)

Figured it out with the reduced complexity by allowing everything after the this and stopping before the \) with the lookahead, by using this regex:
\Kthis\.\K(.+)(?=\)) By doing this I was able to remove the longer more complex one that only went 3 levels deep, and reducing my or construct by one or level. This is what I can get now:

I think I have a problem with overthinking things. :-) I was looking for the one you showed up there, and I might still be able to use it, somewhere else, so thanks.

Any progress in choosing proper codepage ANSI?
Thanks, Jan

@Alan-Kilborn Yes, this is a fact, it’s hard to argue.

@Bas-de-Reuver said in [New Plugin] CSV Lint:

Allow user to delete column

I installed version 0.4.6.5 and I can’t find how to delete a column.

@Ekopalypse thanks for the answer. 🤔 Adding listeners for the BufferActivated event and manually setting the style each time the user switches to a different tab adds a lot of code and possibilities for bugs, for something that the user typically only does once…

Honestly I think I’ll undo the new code and go back to just asking the user to restart Notepad++ after they change the default color set.

@Roberto-Iseppi said in Support for Plugins Admin & NppPluginList:

is causing NPP 8.4.8 to not display the menu icons.

Can you be more specific as to what “menu icons” you are talking about?

hi everi one

even weirder still, the dspellcheck plugin does NOT cause that issue at my end!

Regression: colorization of JSP files does not work anymore 😥

Sorry, I use a German keyboard. I wanted to write <Ctrl> + <D> ;-)

@guy038

This is how it looks on your system, but I assume it might look different on a system where OSMANYA is more common.
That is, of course, if there is a localized version of Windows that OSMANYA takes into account.
