      @astewart77 said: It works well for me. There are so many permutations, it takes a couple of readings. I look forward to your excellent updated help file. Part of the point of this test version is to figure out if I have too many options, or missing options, or if they can be better organized. There are more details and special cases than I’d like. At the moment this might represent more what could be done than what should be done. I suggest that the “Mark tools” option group title be “Tools menu” to be clear that they are for menu commands and not Mark commands, but that may be covered in the help file. Otherwise, it looks like it contradicts the Mark option just above it. That’s a good point. Somehow it should be clear that this section applies to commands from the Tools menu (and, of course, to their equivalent keyboard shortcuts), but not to the Mark command itself. And I wonder if it is clear that it doesn’t apply when Bookmark lines when marking text isn’t checked. Making this obvious at first glance is not going so well. (I know most people are never going to read the help.) Would the top section be better labeled “Bookmark policy,” or is that just more confusing? Or am I silly to even have the top section, and whenever bookmarks are enabled it should just always be bookmark every line (like Notepad++ native Mark)? I’m similarly unsure if Add bookmarks but do not remove them is pointless. Maybe no one would ever want that. Another question is whether all this belongs in yet another box in the Settings dialog rather than in its own “Configure bookmarks” dialog. Settings is getting big, but if these are “set once and leave them alone” choices, that’s probably where they belong. (I don’t mean the Bookmark lines when marking text menu option; that stays on the menu.)

      @Vitalii-Dovgan , Even though you just “moved” stuff, it’s a lot of lines of code changed, from the diff perspective, and Don manually reviews all of that. So it’s not an easy one to review. And since you didn’t attach the PR to any open Issue (though I’m sure there must be more than one asking for improved FiF performance), it’s probably a low priority in his mind (and I’m surprised he didn’t reject it out of hand. It might be because it came from you that it wasn’t rejected). I recommend searching out one or more Issues to attach it to. But yes, I do hope it’s able to be merged before there is a conflict.

      @guy038 , I have also noticed that, recently, the username filter in the advanced search page doesn’t populate usernames. I had thought it might have just been me. I know that @barisusakli from NodeBB occasionally logs in, and they recently updated the forum software for us… maybe that version had a bug, because the admin panel says there’s another version available since they last updated us. Until then, once you make your search, you can edit the URL to set &by=PeterJones to search for my posts (right now, the URL probably has &by= with no value). It’s not as convenient as the drop-down, but it is a workaround.

      @Bondige-Ramesh , I am sorry you are having difficulty. Assuming you mean “Notepad++”, not “Notepad” (they are two different applications – Notepad++ is what’s discussed in this forum; Microsoft’s notepad.exe is a separate product, and is not the focus of this forum) please share your ?-menu’s Debug Info, so we know what version of Notepad++ you are using, and get some useful information to help us replicate and diagnose your problem please be more specific than saying “suddenly loaded as empty” over and over. If it’s just a matter of you had a file, then accidentally deleted its contents, there is not much we can do to help you: we have a FAQ about backups, which gives a couple places to look, depending on what your Notepad++ backup settings are. But the chances are, now that the file loads empty, you have likely lost your data.
