@Alan-Kilborn here is the plugin: (i cannot post links yet)

github.com/leonardchai/FoldingLineHider/tree/master

Just tested on v8.7 and it works as intended.

@ahmed-syed I signed in to this site just to say THANK YOU!!! I did not know about the post-it mode and am absolutely loving it.
I knew about adding virtual desktops but it’s good to see somebody else giving them some love. Most people I’ve interacted with just think it’s gimmicky, but if you know how to utilize it correctly, it can be an invaluable multi-tasking tool.

Impressed that “5 years later” this thread and plugin again got attention. This plugin is exactly what I needed.

The alternative plugin mentioned by @DaveyD in 2017, called “File Switcher, by Dave Brotherstone” no longer appears in my Plugin Admin (maybe I’m doing something wrong) so I’m glad I have this.

[FYI: I found this plugin mentioned at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/14375/search-open-file-name after searching the internet for “notepad++ search open tabs” and “notepad++ search open filenames”.]

My problem is I have 31 tabs open and NavigateTo didnt see 2 of my tabs. Both are recently opened. But it does see fine another tab that was recently opened.

One of the missing files is from a flash drive, flash drive then removed, npp asks me if I want to keep it and I say yes. But the other is regular file resident on local drive. And other files from the flash drive show up. And another new file I just loaded while writing this is correctly present in the NavigateTo list.

I am using v.1.12.4.1 and my Notepad++ is at v8.3.3 which is not the latest.

Possibly this fix released in v.1.12.6 that I don’t have yet fixes it: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/issues/15; Or my issue could be different/similar/related.

I’ll update to the latest and try it again later when I have time.

If it helps:

@Angga-Setia-Budi ,

Mind you, your question doesn’t really apply to this thread’s discussion, however to move you along, here’s the steps needed. Go to the menu bar Preferences->Style Configurator->Language: Global Styles and then Style: Default Style. You’ll then see the two color selectable boxes to the right in the Colour Style Section of the Dialog box. You can set the colors there for whatever you want for the non-focusing line colors, and then go down to Style: Current line background and again, look to the right to see the color selection boxes to choose the colors from there. Now mind you, if it’s a predefined language you’re using, that will change the colors for all the language.

if we want to know…how many characters…the longest line of a file, simply use…the mathematical bissection/dichotomy method

Well…that’s a whole lot of trial and error work. How about a little Pythonscript?:

longest_line_length = 0 shortest_line_length = None def fel(line_contents, line_number, total_lines): global longest_line_length, shortest_line_length line_contents = line_contents.rstrip() # remove line-ending llc = len(line_contents) if llc > longest_line_length: longest_line_length = llc if shortest_line_length == None: shortest_line_length = llc if llc < shortest_line_length: shortest_line_length = llc editor.forEachLine(fel) notepad.messageBox('The longest line in the current file is {}; the shortest is {}.'.format(longest_line_length, shortest_line_length), 'INFO')

When run it pops up a box with the results, for example:

@Scott-Sumner - Noted. Thanks.

@JNylson
Hi!
I’m no sure if you’re right.

We have already 4 ‘Styler’ strings in that block, but neither id is 21127. We have these 4 below:
<Folder title=“Folder && Default”>
<Item id=“21102” name=“Styler”/>
<Item id=“21227” name=“Styler”/>
<Item id=“21327” name=“Styler”/>
<Item id=“21427” name=“Styler”/>

I don’t see any untranslated item in master english.xml which needs additionally.

@donho

Sorry, I was wrong. I have tested with the wrong debug binary which hadn’t contained your last ShellExecute patch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Alan-Kilborn yep :) well, thanks for your help!

I cannot delete the topic. Only admn can do that…

@Alan-Kilborn said in Two suggestions:

If you are looking for enhancement requests [ probably not! :-) ], maybe if the color settings could be presented in the Settings box, something like this:

Truly not necessary, but if you want to play next time you are in the code! :-)

If you want to try it out - see the latest development - no compiled release, you’ll need to do that yourself.

https://github.com/vinsworldcom/nppChangedLines/tree/develop

Also added:

click in ChangedLines margin goes to next change / Shift+Click goes to previous Colorized buttons for change and save colors in Settings dialogue Auto populate / update of ChangedLines panel for current file

Cheers.

Here some even write in Italian.

The problem is to explain what problem I have with Notepad.
Even the English don’t always understand each other.
How I am trying to explain in short sentences
some write that I am rude or arrogant.

Today I figured out how to use
Google translator.
Dzisiaj wpadłem na pomysł jak używać Google translatora,
aby tłumaczenie było jak najlepsze.

@Ruud-Schmeitz said in Selected text:

So I’ve decided to go for this option :
editor.setWhitespaceSize(1)
editor.setWhitespaceFore(1,( 64, 64, 64))
editor.setWhitespaceBack(1,(255,255,255))

I hope that makes me happy .
😀

Actually it did not !

Selecting the 8 lines of code results in :
code - selected 01.png

Because that’s not what I want , I deleted editor.setWhitespaceBack(1,(255,255,255)) in the startup.py file .

The remaining PythonScript commands :
editor.setWhitespaceSize(1)
editor.setWhitespaceFore(1,( 64, 64, 64))

make the selected lines of code look like :
code - selected 02.png

Now I’m happy .
😄

of course there are others, but only @guy038 helped me and all notepad++ community with so hard to find solutions.

and I am using notepad++ and grepWin (and as for the Batch Process I using a great tool named TextCrawler)

@jim-hughes said in Notepad++ has a Reload false alarm / bug? “This file has been modified by another program. Do you want to reload it”? even when it hadn’t been recently modified at all?!:

I’m getting this “file has been modified” warning constantly

This page of the online manual might help.

As you would have read, it tends to be an issue with cloud based storage, is that what you are using?

Hello Claudia,

Thank you for looking into it and for the detailed explanation. I appreciate it.

Good night. :)

Hi, @scott-fredrick-smith, and All,

OK ! Taking in account, again, my first reges S/R, of my previous post :

So, from your original text, below :

0 AGH111900-1 GENERATOR 1 VA111200G1 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - TOP LEVEL 2 VA111200P1 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - HOUSING 2 100629-042 ADHESIVE, ANAEROBIC, LIQUID RESIN 2 200-000-111-112 CONNECTOR 2 200-000-112-004 CONNECTOR CONTACT 2 A50GB0013-1 TAPE, PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE- POLYIMIDE 2 AS3236-06 BOLT, MACHINE - DOUBLE HEX HEAD 2 MIL-PRF-7808 PERF.SPEC,LUBRICATING OIL,GR3 2 MS16996-10 SCREW, SOCKET HEAD 2 VA112719P1 GEAR RETAINER 2 VA112719P2 GEAR RETAINER 2 VA112799P2 GROMMET - T2 2 VA112799P3 GROMMET 2 VA112817G1 PLATE - IDENTIFICATION 3 VA112817P1 PLATE - IDENTIFICATION 3 3-011-001 INSULATING CMPD,ELE 3 G11257P6 PLATE-BLANK 3 K34706P1 THINNER, PAINT PRODUCTS 4 S-8 THINNER, PAINT PRODUCTS 3 TD111234 PROCESS SPECIFICATION - SERIALIZATION 2 VA113269P1 COVER - DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY 2 VA113289P1 DISC RETAINER - GEAR 2 VA113448P4 BUSHING - HEATER HOUSING 2 VA113453P1 SHIM - 0.630 OD, 0.200 ID, 0.005 THK 2 VA113453P2 SHIM - 0.630 OD, 0.200 ID, 0.005 Thick

The following regex S/R, named A, which :

Deletes any line which does not contain VA Drawings and is different from the level 0 line

Deletes all the P’s and G’s, followed with digits

SEARCH (?-is)(?!.*VA\d+|^0|^\u)^.+\R|^\d\x20{3}|[GP]\d+

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

So, after clicking, once, on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button, you should get :

AGH111900-1 GENERATOR VA111200 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - TOP LEVEL VA111200 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - HOUSING VA112719 GEAR RETAINER VA112719 GEAR RETAINER VA112799 GROMMET - T2 VA112799 GROMMET VA112817 PLATE - IDENTIFICATION VA112817 PLATE - IDENTIFICATION VA113269 COVER - DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY VA113289 DISC RETAINER - GEAR VA113448 BUSHING - HEATER HOUSING VA113453 SHIM - 0.630 OD, 0.200 ID, 0.005 THK VA113453 SHIM - 0.630 OD, 0.200 ID, 0.005 Thick

Now, with this new second regex S/R, named B, below, you just wipe out all duplicates lines !

SEARCH (?-s)^(\h+(VA\d+)\x20.+\R)(\h+\2.+\R)+

REPLACE \1

After clicking, once, on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button, here is what you get. Practically, your final text !

AGH111900-1 GENERATOR VA111200 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - TOP LEVEL VA112719 GEAR RETAINER VA112799 GROMMET - T2 VA112817 PLATE - IDENTIFICATION VA113269 COVER - DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY VA113289 DISC RETAINER - GEAR VA113448 BUSHING - HEATER HOUSING VA113453 SHIM - 0.630 OD, 0.200 ID, 0.005 THK

Finally, we just have to normalize the indenting spaces, after the VA drawings ( VA\d+ ) to 4 space characters. Thus, this last regex S/R, named C

SEARCH (VA\d+)\x20+

REPLACE \1\x20\x20\x20\x20

Again, after clicking, once, on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button, you’ll obtain your expected text :

AGH111900-1 GENERATOR VA111200 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - TOP LEVEL VA112719 GEAR RETAINER VA112799 GROMMET - T2 VA112817 PLATE - IDENTIFICATION VA113269 COVER - DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY VA113289 DISC RETAINER - GEAR VA113448 BUSHING - HEATER HOUSING VA113453 SHIM - 0.630 OD, 0.200 ID, 0.005 THK

Et voilà :-))

Best Regards,

guy038

P. S. : Next time, I could give you some explanations on these 3 regex S/R ( A, B and C ) !

The folder solution helped me and also for the “RunMe” plugin. It had also disappeared and after creating its folder and putting the dll in it, it reappeared! Thank you!
