    @Kevin-Moran , As @xomx said in this Issue#18315 comment, he was not able to reproduce the problem (*). Since there is an issue (even though it’s currently closed), would you be able to go to that issue, and give an exact sequence of steps (from the initial launch of Notepad++ through to the second and third time that the warning pops up even with having answered Always load …), including your full ?-menu > Debug Info, and the session.xml that is being loaded (you can change paths in the session to things like c:\path\to\file1.json and \\hostname\sharename\path\to\file2.cpp if your filenames or paths hold information that you need to redact. Another important question: if instead of your normal workflow, if you open Notepad++, click Always load…, then exit Notepad++ immediately and restart, does it save the answer? If you have the ability, replying in [issue #18315](this Issue#18315 comment](https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/18315) might be best (IMO) at this point; but if you don’t have or cannot create an account for GitHub, you can reply here. (It just buries other things in the Release Announcement threads if it dives into debugging a specific problem.) *: unsaid in that Issue: I had also tried to replicate it, and could not. As soon as I answer ALWAYS in a given instance of Notepad++, it stops pestering me, no matter how many times I reload a file from the network or from my local drive, or how many times I manually open a session file from the network or from my local drive. That’s why it’s so important to give the exact sequence of events you use to encounter the problem, with as many details as you can. Because until someone can replicate it, the problem likely cannot be found or fixed.

    @PeterJones, Thank you for your considered (and considerate) engagement. I actually hesitated to respond with my comment about the 70s and 80s, pretty sure I would get what you gave, but I couldn’t resist—I’m old (83 next month). Anyway, thanks again for putting up with me. …lee

    @Midnitecata , I didn’t dig very deep, but I did read that plugin’s README. I would say it doesn’t likely add anything to the Save As dialog, or do syntax highlighting. It just looks like it can play with the timestamps and renumber the text blocks. Which is, I am sure, useful for those editing subtitle files. But it wouldn’t do syntax highlighting. it lacking stars and other such things found githubs little about sidebar thing My guess is that they don’t have much feedback because they’ve never posted about their plugin here, nor have they tried to release their plugin into PluginsAdmin. Which limits the reach of their plugin, unless they have other channels through which they are hyping and distributing their plugin. My general conclusion on seeing a repo with no issues submitted is “no one is using it”. And I guess, that might be enough to make me think either, “I probably shouldn’t try it” (if I was only mildly curious); or, if I were really interested, “I should beta test it for them”.

    Hello, @blake-g.-barrington, @peterjones, @coises and All, Here is my version to get duplicate lines, separated by any number of lines ( whatever they are : true empty lines, blank lines or lines with text ), even zero line : MARK (?-si)^(.+)(?=(.*\R)+\1$) As said by @Peterjones, and after some tests, this kind of regex get into trouble when the bunch of lines, between two duplicate lines, exceeds 15,000 empty lines about ! Now, Let’s suppose you create this text file : first 0002 0003 0004 0005 .... .... .... 9997 9998 9999 10000 first Then the (?-si)^(.+)(?=(.*\R)+\1$) regex returns : Correct result until the number of the in-between lines does not exceed 1,600, with the message 1 match in entire file Correct result until the number of the in-between lines does not exceed 12,000, although the error message Find Invalid Regular Expression ( So F.I.R.E. !! ) occurs ! NO result at all if the number of lines is over 12,000 lines, with, of course, the error message Find Invalid Regular Expression Best Regards, guy038 P.S. : I should add that my Windows11 laptop has 32 Gb of memory !

    The syntax file can be created by means of user-defined language. But how to apply this user-defined language automatically when Smart Math is enabled for the current file/document? OK, sorted it out: call NPPM_GETNBUSERLANG first to get the number of UDLs; then iterate through all the UDLs and call GetMenuStringW; once the menu item string matches my UDL name, I’ve identified my UDL menu id; after that, call NPPM_MENUCOMMAND with the obtained UDL menu id. Here is an example withUDL applied: [image: 1788696158249-d17e9134-3e1a-4b20-b7e9-62b16dbc4eff-image.jpeg] It’s a pity that I can’t make the keyword colors (such as function colors) to be dependent on the active color theme/style. I mean, for dark color themes these keywords in blue look too dark, so the color must be changed for dark themes.

    Hello, @coises and All, I understand that focusing on N++ buffers, instead of on saved files on disk, is not really appropriate for your multithreaded approach ! You said : I am more inclined to raise a warning box telling the user that some of the files to be searched are currently open in Notepad++, and the search results (and modifications, when I get Replace in Files done) will apply to the stored files, not to the edits in progress in Notepad++. So, given, your constraints, I totally agree ! That seems the more simple and obvious solution, with a Cancel button in case some concerned and opened files are dirty, in current N++ session On the other hand, you said : I wonder if any of this works properly when users have multiple instances of Notepad++ open and the files are open in a different instance than the one doing the search? I personally mainly use N++ in a N++ mono instance so I can’t speak properly of that case. But I agree with you that managing several instances must be a challenge for the Find in Files or Replace in Files feature ! Best Regards, guy038

    Why do Notepad++ keep the "Move to recycle bin" delete prompt?

    Microsoft didn’t remove the prompt, but made it configurable, so you can decide if you want to keep it or not. Configuration can be found for example with right click --> properties on the recycle bin icon.

    @PeterJones I sent him an email but got no reply. Overall I’m a bit disappointed with this. I think for all his good intentions he’s allowing a strong chance of people accidentally clicking on these malware links, Got nothing more to add. Thanks.

    @Roberts-Rozis Kudos. I want this feature too. I want to search my source code project, shared, and library folder to one level deep only because the library folder is very wide and deep, quadrupling the search time.

    Hi! A bit late, maybe my ZeroBasedColumn plugin could help with what you’re looking for. It makes the column numbering in Notepad++ start from 0 instead of 1. https://github.com/pasqualeambrosio/ZeroBasedColumn Hope it helps!
