Chill, Peter :-) Breath in, breath out. Everything is fine. (This is meant in a very positive way. I feel that you are very busy right now.)

Of course, yes, this is definitly no big deal. But it is nothing wrong in talking about it. Or just bringing up a question about it. Or an idea.

IMO, Thomas is not wrong with his observation/question/request. The red x icon is the only colorized icon while using light mode and fluent UI. So a more consistant behaviour would be, to have the x icon appearance coupled on the icon choice rather than the light/dark mode choice. (Means red x icon coupled to standard icons, a fluent x icon to the fluent UI.)

Yes sure, this issue is nothing important compared to the more urgent topics in the issue tracker.

@PeterJones said in Config Files Need Updating, Too:

But, unfortunately, there were a few growing pains in transferring from the plugin to the builtin that I was really hoping wouldn’t happen, because I had ironed out so many problems in the plugin version already.

That IS why it’s called ‘developing’. and maintainers are ‘developers’. :-)

If I ever saw a first version of anything that worked unscathed on the first try, I’d be digging through the code looking for the bomb that went undetected. :-)

@xomx said in Help needed - Forensic extractor result analyzing:

@donho

What is that for (is it for specific HW, OS or network analysis)?

Ubuntu on a VPS

Fullname of the forensic SW

“Forensic Extractor”

ballpoint.fr

It’s rather to analyze the results to make sure if anything is OK. Note the VPS is only for the wingup.org, whereas notepad-plus-plus.org is on a sharing hosting service.

Thank you for the ref
I will check this company.

Alternately, install the Customize Toolbar plugin, enable Plugins > Customize Toolbar > Custom Buttons, then edit ...\plugins\Config\CustomizeToolbar.btn to include something like the following:

File,Open Containing Folder,cmd,,onion.bmp,onion.ico,onion.ico File,Open Containing Folder,Explorer,,*R:Ex,*G:Ex,*B:Ex

The first line uses a pair of BMP (16x16, 256 color) and ICO files I had readily available to do the open-containing-folder-in-cmd, and the second line does the explorer version: it uses a RED-background Ex if using Standard Icons, a GREEN-background Ex if using Fluent icons in Light Mode, and a BLUE-background Ex if using Fluent icons in Dark Mode:

As mentioned here, the extra spaces around the buttons are due to an unfixed bug in the CustomizeToolbar plugin. The workaround is to also define a replacement icon for the Show Symbol default toolbar entry using

View,Show Symbol,Show All Characters,,Icons\allChars.bmp,Icons\allChars_off.ico,Icons\allChars_off_dark.ico

That issue-comment has links to where you can get the BMP and two ICO files for that button.
But using that in addition to the commands I showed earlier will make the button toolbar more compact:

@guy038 said in Perl keywords "class" and "method" not recognised by Function List:

for these two syntaxes, I just supposed that standard ASCII characters are used, from \x20 to \x7E, except for \x28 and \x29 in one part and \x7B in second part ! May be, the \t should be part of each class character, either

Perl allows Unicode alphanumeric/“word character” in any such identifier or token (just cannot start with a numeric), so restricting to ASCII is not going to work

@ErickNet
Short answer is no.

There are some posts on this forum over the years on the same subject, just do a search with the word android to see them. One of the later (relevant) ones is here.

@Glenn-M said in Add current file to Workspace?:

Hi, first time posting here…
I have a Workspace setup with a folder called Favorites that contains files I use frequently.
Is there an easy way to add a currently open file/tab to the Favorites folder?

Not via a single click.

The only way I have found to add a new file to the folder is to use “Add Files…” which opens a file browser, so I have to browse to select the file that is already open in the editor. Unnecessary extra effort.

You could right click on the tab of the file, then Copy to Clipboard > Copy Full File Path, then paste that into the Add Files… dialog, which would avoid having to browse.

But you are right, it would be nice to be able to choose “Add active tab to project” in the same Project Panel menu as “Add Files…”

If there is not currently a way to add an open file/tab to a Workspace,
can that be added as a Suggested Feature?

Look through the existing official issues, searching for either project panel or workspace (people sometimes use one term or the other for this same feature) and make sure the request doesn’t exist already. If not, click on the New Issue button and create the request.

However, Project Panel features haven’t been updated much in the last few years, so I don’t know how likely it is. You might want to try the Explorer plugin (you can install it through Plugins > Plugins Admin, checkmark Explorer, then Install), which has a Favorites feature, and that might work better for you than a Project Panel anyway. I recommend trying that plugin out to see if it meets your needs – either instead of putting in the feature request, or to give you something similar to tide you over while you are waiting to see if the feature request is implemented.

@Robert-Or-Janet-Diebel said in Compare plugin, output a list of line numbers that do not match:

I wish to be able to run a compare and output a list of line numbers that do not match. This, whether with Notepad++, the Compare plugin, or some other utility.

“some other utility”: GNU’s diff command (which there are various ports to windows) could make a diff file or patch report similar to what’s described below. But anything that’s outside of Notepad++ and its plugins is OFF TOPIC here, so you’d have to look elsewhere for details of how to do that. Please don’t ask for off-topic (non-Notepad++) suggestions until it’s 100% certain that it can’t/shouldn’t be done in in Notepad++, and don’t expect more than hints if that’s the only way, because this isn’t a generic “transoform my text for me” forum.

Never use Compare plugin; it is out of date and no longer supported, and has known dark-mode bugs. ComparePlus is the updated version of the Compare Plugin, and is the plugin you should use for comparing files.

ComparePlus has had Generate Patch action since v2.0.0. That comes close to what you want, in that it generates a new file that has all the differences in an industry-standard “patch” file, which does list the line numbers that are different, but also includes the changes needed to convert from old to new version, so it might be more than what you want. But you could extract the info you wanted from that patch file.

For example, if you had a patch file that looked like

--- new 2 +++ new 3 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ one -two +two2 three +four has more alpha beta gamma @@ -16,4 +17,4 @@ nu xi omicron -pi +pie

the lines in the @@ would indicate the lines that had changes (sometimes with context lines around them.

-1,6 +1,7 says that “in the LEFT file, starting at line 1 for a total 6 lines, it is changed to the RIGHT file starting at line 1 and for a total of 7 lines” -16,4 +17,4 says “in the LEFT file, starting at line 16 with 4 lines, it is changed to the RIGHT file starting at line 17 for 4 lines.”

So if you did a MARK for ^@@.*$ in regex mode and then Copy Marked Text, it would put all those line-number indicators in the clipboard, and you could paste those into a new tab that would just have the indications of which lines are changed.

@xMRi

As far as I know, no. Npp explicitly checks this and throws an exception if no function is defined. So I would say, use an “About” menu item.

@PeterJones
As a user of Notepad++ in a highly-controlled corporate environment, Peter’s explanation is lucid, thorough and relevant.

@guy038 ,

Thank you for the elaborate explanation, clearly distinguishing the three drop-down lists and clarifying that in the Language list, Global Styles is a different from the others, as is Search Result.
