@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.)

@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).

@PeterJones ,
Good point. Luckily, it’s still one of a handful of functionList files…at least until you figure out how to mass produce those. :-)

@Rich said in XML - insert rows without nesting:

I was missing a single “/”

I hate being bit by something so small but dangerous. :-)

If you don’t already have it, XML Tools plugin can help with XML syntax check: it can be automatic or on-demand. (If you are using XML>10Mb, you might not want to automatically do the syntax and validation checks; you can turn on/off those options in the XML Tools menu). But I think it might have helped you find that problem.

Thanks for help!

Glad to help.

@Coises Thanks

Hello, @h-jangra, @peterjones and All,

Peter, I suppose that the @h-jangra’s project is defined in :

https://github.com/h-jangra/NppVim

And that his first release can be donwloaded from :

https://github.com/h-jangra/NppVim/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Of course, I have not tested this plugin yet !

Best Regards,

It looks to me like Notepad++ can’t load the font you’ve chosen, and it has fallen back to a default system font. I might be missing something, but the font of your text looks to me to be the same as the font that shows the filename in the tab and the title bar.

Can you verify that if you select a really common, system-supplied monospaced font, like Courier New, you get what you would expect?

What is the font you’re trying to use? If appropriate, could you tell us where you got it?

@PeterJones said in How to open documents in different windows?:

Settings > Preferences > Multi-Instance and Date > ☑ Always in multi-instance mode – every time you use Windows Explorer to double-click on a file (or similar) to open it with Notepad++, it will go in a new instance. (This will not change the behavior of File > Open inside Notepad++, which always opens in a new tab, not a new instance.)

Thanks for the answer.
Everything works.
Issue resolved.
Notepad++ is my favorite text editor.

Special thanks to you for the clarification about the publication of posts and for additional information on the topic of the question.

@Artem-Repko
@PeterJones correctly pointed to the D&ump selected text as JSON string(s) and Dump JSON string(s) as ra&w text commands in JsonTools. I just wanted to add this comment because I just added new documentation for both of those commands.

I can’t make text from right to left in new versions

@shodanx2:

Take a look at the documentation for Columns++ and see if it will work for you.

One of my goals when I wrote it was to never have to open a spreadsheet program again. (I hate them with a passion.)

It won’t draw the table lines as in your examples; instead, it depends on using tabs to separate columns. The Elastic tabstops option makes tabs adjust to the width of the column content.

You can do various column-oriented operations, such as sorting, searching, aligning left, right or numeric, and creating new columns based on calculations from other columns.

You can install Columns++ from Plugins Admin.

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!
