@Coises said in Can't print with notepad++:

I’d say No Background as the default,

Congratulations. That’s the default already.

And, as you say, the warnings probably aren’t worth the effort.

have a separate theme for printing which doesn’t change when you change the display theme

Ick. As I said above, that breaks the expectation set up by literally every other application I can think of having printed from in the last decade or two. If the visual area has color inherent to the display, the general expectation, in my experience, is that it will print in that color… not some other set of colors which I have to pick or set somewhere other than my primary color choices.

Printing of text files to dead trees should be rare enough that most people don’t care; printing to PDF, you want the color to match exactly. Since Notepad++ cannot tell which you are doing (it’s the OS, not the app, that knows what printer you send to), there’s another reason to not have a separate printing theme or other such workaround.

People getting colors the same between screen and print should be the default; anything else breaks reasonable expectation. (Even “no background” being default breaks that expectation, IMO.)

@Charles-Billow said in Start NP++ with a blank document:

If I just close NP++ regardless of any open files, how do I then open NP++ with nothing but a clean new document?

At Settings | Preferences… | Backup remove the check mark labeled Remember current session for next launch.

I’m interested in having sticky tabs, ie, tabs that will stay on screen, regardless of how right or left you scroll in your tab bar. I could use multi-line tabs, but that takes up vertical space. This is kind of like freezing columns in Excel.

Hello everyone!

There were a few annoying bugs in the latest release, I’ve fixed them in a Pull Request.

In case my PR is not accepted, I’ve made a v2.7.rc.3 release available in the forked repository. I hope this helps others too!

@webforpcnet seen similar issues before, also with other tools. Thing is accessing network drives (and even external plugged drives) triggers security and caching tools such as anti-virus, status utilities such as TortoiseGit, etc.

A separate check needs to be done using another crawler, such as a simple script dumping the file contents. Paste something like the following in cmd.exe:

@echo off rem Position in the target base directory pushd \\NAS\shared\code\ rem Iterate through all files in the subtree, assume all files, "*.*" for /R %i in (*.*) do ( echo Dumping '%i' rem Force reading file contents (but don't output them!), same as Notepad++ would type "%i" >nul ) popd

(I’m assuming the \ special character sequence got escaped in the report.)
If the speed is substantially better than Notepad++ then it might mean there’s a problem (this quick/dirty check cannot assess for any whitelisting or heuristics in the environment).
