      @b-squared said in Can't install any plugin - hash mismatch:

      Hi,

      I get the following error when trying to install a plugin from the Plugin Admin tool. I’ve tried several including Compare, JSON Viewer, 3P, HEX-Editor, JSON Tools.

      Your Debug Info shows that you are using 64-bit Notepad++ version 8.8.8; Plugins Admin in that version should be offering Preview HTML 1.3.3.3. From your screenshot, it looks like it’s trying to load a 32-bit plugin with version 1.3.2.0.

      I’m thinking that somehow your copy of the plugins list is not getting updated properly. Just to be sure… is this a regular installed version or a portable version, and exactly where are you getting the download?

      Any way to install plugins manually, or will I just run into the same issue?

      You can install plugins manually and there isn’t a hash check when you do that. Before we go that way, though, we need to figure out why your installation copy of the plugins list is messed up — I have to think it might not be the only thing that’s messed up.

      Plugin Manager - what happened with it, where did it go?

      The old Plugin Manager plugin hasn’t been compatible with Notepad++ in 7 years. In v7.6 (in 2018), it was replaced by the built-in Plugins Admin tool. Use that built-in tool, not the old, unmaintained, advertising-supported Plugin Manager.

      @Bruno-Guillemette said in NPP RSS Feed broken?:

      I’ve looked into this and we’re being blocked by them sometimes. They’d have to whitelist our IP range, which is: 8.29.198.0/24 and that would fix it.

      This Forum is a Community of Notepad++ users. If you want to contact the developer, you’d have to either create an issue in the main GitHub repo (which isn’t really where website errors belong, but sometimes people post them there) or email Don directly (his contact information is on the Notepad++ website). If you would like him to “whitelist” an IP range to be able to see the RSS feed, you’d have to contact him, not us.

      My guess is there isn’t any setting on the Notepad++ website itself which is directly blocking Feedly. My guess is that Feedly isn’t passing the CloudFlare captcha, so CloudFlare (which inserts itself between user requests and the underlying website) is the one that’s blocking Feedly, not any setting on the Notepad++ website. (And honestly, the fact that the employee in the email you quoted is not knowledgable enough to have tried accessing the RSS feed directly, and seeing that a CloudFlare are-you-a-human prompt comes up, makes me wonder about the quality of their support.) However, I seem to remember that Don was able to make it so that the updater-XML URL was “unblocked” for CloudFlare, so maybe he’d be able to do the same for the RSS URL… but I don’t know.

      @Doreen-Ammons

      It is possible. There are a few ways to do it, depending on your exact circumstances. Here is one way:

      Open a new, empty tab.

      If you don’t see line numbers at the left, go to Settings | Preferences… | Margins/Border/Edge and check Display in the Line Number box at the top right.

      Press and hold the Enter key until you have exactly 200 lines.

      Edit | Select All (or Ctrl+A).

      Open Edit | Column Editor….

      Select Number to Insert; set the Format to Dec. the numbers to 1, 1, 1 and Leading to None.

      Click OK. You should now see the numbers 1 to 200 in your file.

      The column editor will leave extraneous (for this purpose) blanks after the one and two digit numbers. Use Edit | Blank Operations | Trim Trailing Space to remove them.

      From your original source, copy the fixed part of the text; that is, everything from “goldplate” to “1.2.3.” including the point but not including the final 1.

      Go back to tab with the list of numbers from 1 to 200. Click at the very beginning of the list, at the left of the 1. Scroll to the bottom using the mouse (not the keyboard), hold down Shift and Alt, and click at the left of the 200. You should see a thin, blinking line running at the left of all your lines.

      Paste. You’ll see the text you copied added before each number.

      You can now Select All, copy, and paste this back into your original file.

      @jeffs555-s ,

      With more tabs than will fit on screen, most programs put the left scroll arrow on the left side of the tab bar and the right scroll arrow on the right side of the tab bar.

      I am not sure I’d agree with the word “most”.

      Microsoft’s new Windows 11 Notepad app (the one that handles multiple tabs) does. But Chrome just keeps shrinking the tab shape, and after a few dozen, I stopped trying to see if I ever got it to show scroll controls OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc (and my memory of Excel) put both the ◀ go-left and ▶ go-right and add-sheet buttons on the lower left Google Sheets webapp puts both the < and > on the lower right As far as I can tell, Visual Studio doesn’t give such buttons; instead, they just have the ▼ pulldown, similar to the one on Notepad++'s menu bar. Mozilla Thunderbird (email client), like Chrome, seems to just shrink the tabs; again, I could never get it to show scroll controls.

      So I tried a variety of apps, from different categories of tabbed-like interfaces, and only one of them puts the left-scroll on the left and the right-scroll on the right. In my quick experiment, “most” put them immediately next to each other, wherever they go. But really, it seems there’s no global consistency on such scroll controls. That’s not to say that there aren’t a gazillion other apps that do split them between left and right sides of the Tab Bar – just that it apparently depends on one’s set of applications that they use.

      I can understand wanting it as a feature, if it’s what you are used to. It isn’t currently an option in Notepad++ (though it could be requested, as described in our feature request FAQ); and, as far as I know, there aren’t any plugins that currently move the Tab-Bar-scroll-left button to the left side of the Tab Bar (and I don’t know who would win the war between a plugin and the main app as far as trying to position that button, so I don’t know if a plugin could enforce a different location for it)

      @PeterJones Hi, not the OP but I’m also experiencing this issue. In my case it appeared to disappear from my system as I was logged in. This is actually the second time it’s happened on this machine, but I was convinced the first time was a fluke.

      In the Event Viewer, the only MsiInstaller events within the time frame that it happened were associated with the removal of “Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component” followed a few minutes later with its re-installation and configuration.

      I am able to find Notepad++ in Program Files; however inside is only uninstall.exe and a plugins folder that contains ComparePlugin. Note that this is an externally managed computer and if I try to launch uninstall.exe directly, I cannot run it as I’m not an admin. When I view the folder in Program Files I can see the exact time that it was modified. When I go to that time in the Event Viewer, there are 4 identical events logged from ELAN/Service SERVICE_CONTROL_INTERROGATE with the description “The requested section was not present in the activation context”.

      Let me know if any other info would be helpful. This is driving me crazy!

      Hello, All,

      Like most of you still using Windows 10, I decided to migrate to Windows 11, at the end of october, because my computer was compatible ( BIOS with UEFI boot, TPM module and DirectX 12 )

      I eagerly awaited the November 11, 2025 update, which should have brought us a new Start Menu, correcting some of the current limitations However, no such update occured, so far, on my laptop :-((

      Of course, I know that I could use the GitHub tool, named ViveTool.exe. After downloading and extracting the last release https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases/tag/v0.3.4, I would have run, in an Administrator Commmand Prompt window, the command vivetool /enable /id:47205210 to get the new Start Menu, after a complete restart. Moreover, this action seems safe as we can revert back to our present Start Menu with the command vivetool /reset /id:47205210

      Ultimately, I prefer to wait for the usual Windows 11 staged roll-out to work in my favor !

      But, if you’re interested to test it, read, first, this recent article

      In this other article

      it is also said :

      ViVeTool is an open-source tool to unlock hidden features in Windows. It directly interacts with Windows Feature Management, which is the A/B testing system Microsoft uses. ViVeTool calls the official APIs and doesn’t hack or modify Windows files, so it’s mostly safe to use as long as you use it with correct variables.

      So, in the meanwhile, I tried to get used to the main aspects of Windows 11, which doesn’t change, fundamentally, my workflow ! Among other things, I updated my Win 10 list of shortcuts related to the Windows key and, little by little, I included, in that list, a lot of other shortcuts related to main applications of the Microsoft world.

      Here is the outline of this list, related to Windows 11 shortcuts :

      Shortcuts about the Windows and Office keys Shortcuts about Desktops and Taskbar Shortcuts about Text editing and Dialog boxes Shortcuts about Accessibility and the Magnifier feature Shortcuts about main applications (File Explorer, Terminal and DOS prompts, Microsoft Edge) Shortcuts about various applications (Google Maps, Settings, Xbox Game, Calculator, Sticky Notes) Shortcuts about audio / video applications (Movies & TV, Media Player, Photos, Sound Recorder) Shortcuts about drawing applications (Paint, Paint 3D) Shortcuts about basic text editors (Wordpad, Notepad)

      You can get this list, named W11_Shortcuts.txt, from my Drive account :

      https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wt03527NLrg-bNfKFK1x_0QqdxnSB4PU/view?usp=sharing

      Notes :

      These shortcuts are those used with a standard American / English keyboard. As I’m French, I noted some variations with my French keyboard ! Thus, for any other language, some shortcuts may be different and not very easy to find out !

      Google Chrome’s shortcuts are not described in this list as I simply use the native Edge browser of Microsoft

      Moreover, all Microsoft 365 applications are not listed, so far !

      IMPORTANT :

      Some Microsoft UWP applications (Media Player, Paint, Paint 3D, Sound Recorder, Wordpad, Notepad) have additionnal shortcuts based on the Alt key, and generally tied to each user language. To show all of them, open these applications and simply hit the Alt key. You may, also, open any menu and hit the Alt key to get some new Alt available shortcuts. As they generally depend on each user language, these specific shortcuts are mostly not included in this list !

      Now, all these shortcuts consist of one or more keys from the list below :

      The Windows key, on the left side of the main keyboard

      The Office key, on the right side of the main keyboard

      One of the two Control keys, on both sides of the main keyboard : Ctrl

      One of the two Shift keys, on both sides of the main keyboard : Shift

      The Alternate key , on the left side of the main keyboard : Alt

      The Letter keys : Any upper-case letter, for example C

      The Symbol keys : Any symbol surrounded with parentheses, for example (+)

      Remarks :

      Some shortcuts are specific to the main keyboard => indication (Main)

      Some shortcuts are specific to the numeric keypad => indication (Numpad)

      Of course, if any shortcut have been left out of this list, please, let me know ! On the other hand, feel free to ask me about shortcuts that seem still unclear to you !

      I personally did not understand 9 shortcuts, which are identified, in this list, with the ??? mark, right after the shortcut !

      Best Regards,

      guy038

      P.S. :

      Do not forget to only reply within this off-topic thread !

      Talking about “the game of the summer,” it’s always interesting to see how different communities interpret “fun” — for some that’s about building an in‑game world, for others it’s just kicking back and enjoying downtime.

      @Lycan-Thrope One of the biggest secrets because people believe their beliefs are knowledge when no, they’re beliefs. I also reject the petty thoughtless “I don’t comprehend so it can’t be true” nonsense so I’ll ignore any trolling from anyone.

      Also some basic psychology for anyone reading: do I know your life? No. I didn’t grow up in your life, know your people, your places, your experiences. The same holds true in reverse. So everyone knows something that other people do not know. So never make the severe massive psychological mistakes of thinking you’re an all-knowing deity because most people make this mistake and remaining ignorantly willing slaves!

      There is no government.

      Whenever you see ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (and no, not screaming on the Internet context) that is a CORPORATE ENTITY. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, STATE OF MAINE, MAINE STATE, COUNTY OF, CITY OF - extra, those are all CORPORATE ENTITIES.

      However what is a CORPORATION? It’s suppose to be a form of business.

      What is a business? A group of people who work together to create profit.

      Well, that isn’t good enough, we need contrast. What is a business not?

      A business does not impose on the natural rights of others because then it is a criminal organization. What else is a business not?

      A business is not neutral due to the inherent right of discrimination. The political extremists like to demonize rights. Anyone who thinks discrimination is a bad thing now suddenly doesn’t have the right to appeal being forced to marry a volcano. Have fun on your wedding night! Discrimination is one of many critical sovereign rights.

      When you discriminate you are not neutral. So that brings us back to CORPORATIONS acting as “government”. What is the role of government? To protect it’s nation or country and play a neutral role of lawful (never LEGAL) courts of law.

      So if a CORPORATION is supposed to be a form of business that is for-profit and therefore not neutral it has zero right to conduct itself as a “neutral” entity therefore any CORPORATE entity that represents itself as a “government” entity of any kind is instantly and irrevocably a criminal organization!

      Go look up “government” signs across the world like in marxist occupied China. You will always see Latin characters as a secondary way as not all alphabets have upper and lower case characters. Suddenly you’re seeing fake governments everywhere because the criminal conspiracy has long been global for well over a century. The sovereign country of the United States of America became an anarchist state with the Act of 1871.

      So that is all part of fascism, CORPORATISM which has two levels of foundation beneath it. The direct next lower foundation is FRAUD BY COMMERCE. Commerce is not business, it is criminal activity masquerading as “business”. Example: I was attacked by CORPORATE POLICY ENFORCERS (the “police”) and one of the criminals said it was “nothing persona, just business”. That is the criminal manipulation of language.

      What is a good example of a manipulation of language? A dude puts on a wig, dress, high heels, pads a bra and he’s suddenly a woman? Oh hell no! He’s got severe mental issues! The criminals pretend like they’re protecting freedom of freedom and expression but that part is marxism: slavery. Karl Marx the author of the communist manifesto can be quoted simply: “…the abolishment of private property”. Who does not own private property? SLAVES! So marxism and fascism are like the left and right wing: they are attached to the same bird! You are intended to think they are the opposite of each other when in fact those groups are working together for literal global slavery. The more pressure and social destruction there is the easier it is to conquer people! They literally want global slavery!

      So that is why subjective use of language must always be absolutely rejected! LEGALISM is the explicit manipulation of language! The police are trained to convince you that you are “driving” a “vehicle” when, by LEGALESE criminal language you are “traveling” in your “car” (or “truck”). They are not law enforcement because they are literal criminals! Some do not know it and did not join the police with criminal intentions but many do know that they’re criminals and explicitly like being criminals.

      So the goal for every ethically sound individual is to disengage from commerce and remove their ignorance on how to punish the criminals for their attacks on us. In example when you are abducted (because criminals never have the right to arrest) you reject the fake court’s notion that they have jurisdiction. I have several videos now of people holding their ground with the fake “judges” fleeing the fake “courts” and one even admitting they work for “the CORPORATION”. Literally all criminal! All legitimate businesses that were tricked in to registering (LEGALESE for surrender!) have the full right to disavowal the CORPORATE entity that they were coerced to register in bad faith! It is a straw man misrepresentation because the criminals are required to only interact with other CORPORATE ENTITIES while in “contract” with them. Any criminal that says you can’t is, big surprise: lying!

      Individuals are also targeted with CORPORATE ENTITIES by the next foundation below that of FRAUD BY COMMERCE. That is FRAUD BY PERSONAGE. To personify a CORPORATE ENTITY (straw man) to intentionally misrepresent a living human being as CORPORATE ENTITY so the criminals can “contract” with you.

      Do you have a driver’s license?

      Yes? Criminal!

      No one has the right to suggest or dictate that you have to ask permission to act on your natural sovereign rights such as the right to travel!

      Is your name on the driver’s license?

      No! JOHN SMITH is a fictitious CORPORATE ENTITY criminally made in John Smith’s name without his explicit consent! Consent is only lawfully (never LEGALLY!) full and explicit comprehension (never “understanding” which means willing slavery).

      Example: “hey bro, she’s knocked out drunk, she can’t say no!” is still rape because the lack of capacity to consent is explicitly not consent! So rapes and when fake judges make a decision (because you don’t know how to disengage from fake courts or that they’re even fake to begin with) the fake “judge” will imply a decision on your behalf, that is called FRAUD BY TACIT CONSENT! Tacit means implied however you can not imply consent as consent is irrevocably always and in absolutely always explicit. If you don’t comprehend and agree then you literally have zero capacity to consent. To imply you’ve consented is fraud by tacit consent!

      Back to the primary topic: the UNITED NATIONS INCORPORATED criminal organization has zero rights. These are non-elected people and while many people involved in fake government and government-like fake organizations have legitimate intentions on helping others we can see for example when the pro-German candidates were all clearly murdered so the globalists could keep destroying Germany (I am Polish, that should hold some weight). These criminal organizations need to be dismantled, to say the least.

      Everyone literally has the lawful right to shoot to kill criminals literally and ironically working to enslave all of humanity. I don’t recommend doing so however until you know how to nullify all aspects of the criminal organizations.

      For now people need to learn how to disengage from COMMERCE for starters. Everyone needs to file their UCC1 which gives them access to a bank account with large amounts of money that misrepresents each person as a “common stock”. Any time. All CORPORATIONS engaged in COMMERCE use social security numbers and that means any bill they send you is already paid! You have to learn how to “endorse the coupon” because when you “pay a bill” you’re giving those criminals double the money! A traffic ticket at the state level of the 37 lawfully joined states and the rest of the territories like Montanan make over a million dollars from a a single speeding ticket! Never endorse criminal tickets and everything with JOHN SMITH fraud by personage on it that they give you is literal evidence of their crimes!

      The next bit is to learn how to force criminals to pay you for their crimes via TORT POLICY! Since COMMERCE is explicitly criminal that means anyone for any reason trying to trick/force/coerce/etc you is guilty of numerous crimes. TORT POLICY is per their fake jurisdictions. You need to look it up for your state/providence/county and it’s all there!

      The biggest part of TORT POLICY that is wonderfully subjective is that these criminals literally steal your time. But people are not equal in anything except rights. Well guess what? I’m the developer of an entire web platform written entirely from scratch by myself. My time is very valuable and I set my own rates. That means when I redeem damages to my literally unrecoverable time from criminals I set my rates high, like $20 million an hour. If a criminal is that stupid I will very quickly bankrupt them. You just have to get your mentality in the right place and figure out how that paper works in your region.

      We can and will win but there will be loses because we can’t help stupid people. Reality is absolute, your perception is relative. We hear only between the 20 to 20,000 Hz. We see only between 400–790 terahertz. That is trillions of hertz. What can’t you see or hear between 20,001 and 399,999,999,999,999 hertz? So no, again, no one is an all-knowing deity. Stop trusting false believe as knowledge! *Verify& things otherwise you’re building your entire perception of reality based on false belief! Otherwise you risk doing worse than marrying a “woman” named Tammy who was once a dude named Timmy.
