      @xomx From the scenarios you described, HMAC is not infaillible. However, just because the burglar is cabable of anything does not mean I leave my door unlocked when I leave home. Also you make valid points. The MachineGUID is not a cryptographic secret, and it was never designed to be one. But it’s still better to use the MachineGUID than to rely sorely on sha256 of shortcuts.xml. Not only does HMAC make tempering with shortcuts.xml more difficult, but it also prevents attackers from pre-computing the sha256 value of the factory-default shortcuts.xml. As a result, I believe HMAC is a suitable solution: it prevents the most effortless forms of shortcuts.xml tempering, and under normal circumstances users are not disturbed.

      @Geoff-Taylor , That is the effect of one of the “security fixes” that prompted v8.9.6.1’s existence. See my reply to see more of the implications of the security changes, and note the discussion it spawned

      @rednoise0 , I actually did a bit of searching after making the updates to my post yesterday, but wasn’t in a position to make a followup post (and forgot to today, until your reply): Some sites indicate that just creating the pin-to-taskbar for an app should be enough to initiate it… So maybe, if you edited the old pin rather than creating a new pin, then Windows didn’t update the link between that pin and the underlying application ID. Thus, you might want to try something as simple as unpinning from your taskbar, then create a new pin from the 64-bit installation. That might be enough to kick Windows and get it to start properly tracking Notepad++ files again.

      @rdipardo said: If you have the Rust toolchain installed, there’s a perl-dap binary crate. Hmph. I had been trying to find something in the perl ecosystem to enable DAP for perl. It’s counterintuitive to have to install a 1+ GB Rust toolchain just to connect a Perl debugger to Notepad++. @ekopalypse [asked]](/post/105567): Which debugger did you use? That’s the problem: I couldn’t find any perl-based ones myself; and the free AI I asked tried to get me to use a perl module that didn’t have features/functions/etc that it claimed to have, and when I looked into the documentation of that module, it didn’t mention anything about supporting DAP, so I’m not sure why the AI suggested it at all. I was hoping to be able to try out perl debugging from Notepad++ “for fun”, if this plugin made it easy. But since the ecosystem is providing friction, I probably won’t be continuing down that path. Though I’ll still pull out the plugin for when I want to single-step through Python… Now if it worked with PythonScript, so I could single-step while debugging N++ automation, I’d have it always enabled… So, if you have any ideas on that, I’m all ears. :-)

      @Bernard said: this is to request feature id est Folder Workspace responds to clicks on line containing file name if the click is on blank area beyond end of file name . Interesting idea. I see no harm in asking for it. However, this is the Community of Notepad++ users. Our feature request FAQ explains the process for checking for existing requests and adding a new request if it doesn’t already exist.
