no, you were wrong. It has nothing to do with backup option

Was “Enable session snapshot and periodic backup” on or off?

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.

Any progress in choosing proper codepage ANSI?
Thanks, Jan

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

hi everi one

Regression: colorization of JSP files does not work anymore 😥

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

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

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.

I like the title of this related Notepad++ issue…a lot !

Margins/Border/Edge

Alright, I have added a new ticket in Customize Toolbar forum.

Hello Claudia,

did try to understand what the difference could be but …
…
I would love to see why our machines behave differently but without a debugging environment it’s hard to track down the issue…

I apologize for not being clear enough in my last post.
In “Very nice” I meant to confirm the issue was solved by adding console.show(). :)

The file StaticDialog.cpp has a function makeRTLResource.
Within the function there is this if condition

Thank you very much for that too.
A couple of years ago Dave uploaded a PythonScript v1.1.1 without committing the changes.
As your script works perfectly, I’d rather keep using v1.1.1.

Many thanks again for your kind help. I do appreciate it.

Best regards.

@Vinod-Jacob

Any updates on the new version of plugin manager

I don’t think you are going to see any replies to that query from the N++ author. Maybe the best you can do is look in the codebase for related commits and infer status from that. Example: I see something on 2018-04-30 that seems related…
