it worked perfectly. for all my needs

so i just wanted to say Thank you

@scottgshin said in autoupdater and XMLDSig:

point me in the correct direction or add the code to the N++ project

Did you check the https://github.com/donho/xmlSigner README?

@guy038 said in Search++: A work in progress:

I won’t dare ask you about specific topics like this one, again

There is no reason you shouldn’t ask. I am sorry if I sounded defensive or otherwise implied that the question was troublesome. I realize I probably gave a more exhaustive (or exhausting) reply than you really needed… I kind of got caught up “explaining it to myself.”

It’s never really possible for someone who isn’t doing the programming to know whether something will be easy, difficult or anywhere in between. Some things seem like they should be easy… and they are! Others have complications that don’t turn up until you’ve already put in a bunch of time and effort, then you discover one little detail that you can’t change that blocks your entire approach. So for me, too, it’s only a guess how much work it would be, though I have more information from which to make my guess.

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions and make suggestions. It’s possible that I have a good reason for doing or not doing any given thing; it’s equally possible that I just never thought about it. I don’t expect people who aren’t working with the code to know the difference, and neither should they expect that of themselves. Though I have to prioritize, and some things don’t make the “first cut,” all feedback helps; what doesn’t get done for one release will still be waiting to be considered in another. Even if I outright say, “No, I’m just not going to do that,” it still tells me there’s a need adjacent to what I’m building that I haven’t addressed, and I should think about how to make it better when I can.

Thank you, @guy038, for all the work you’ve done so far to test and explore this project.

That “Stopped working” is a common overall expression there for the app crashes, hungs etc.
So @mapsonx should open that “details” you mentioned or simply launch the Windows EventViewer, i.e.:

press WinKey+R to invoke the Windows Run-dialog copy & paste there: eventvwr.msc /c:"Application" and click OK wait for the Event Viewer launching and attaching to OS logs search/filter there for “Error” Level records (or simply follow the ReliabilityMonitor published date/time of the N++ problem), with “notepad++.exe” within app crashes usually have as log Source “Application Error”, frozen apps “Application Hang”

Then publish here what the content of such a record tell us, e.g.:

Faulting application name: notepad++.exe, version: 8.9.3.0, time stamp: 0x69bc8a94 Faulting module name: USER32.dll, version: 10.0.19041.6926, time stamp: 0xcd1afcbd Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00000000000467cd Faulting process id: 0x296c Faulting application start time: 0x01dcce3ba0a16cb7 Faulting application path: ...\npp.8.9.3.portable.x64\notepad++.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\USER32.dll
