@George-0 said in Archive of Notepad++ versions:

I checked this link but it is not that relevant.

Why do you think that? The README that @Murray-Sobol-1 linked to starts with,

You can find all the old Notepad++ releases - from the very first version 1.0 up to v6.9.2 - here

That’s 100% relevant to the original question “does any people have an notepad++ installers from version 1.0-4.x.x?”

And if you then follow the link in that README to the Releases page, there are a few pages of releases. The first page has all the v1 installers/downloads, all the v2 installers/downloads, all the v3 installers/downloads, all the v4 installers/downloads (split into groups), and all the v5 installers/downloads (split into groups). And clicking to the second page gives all the v6 installers/downloads (split into groups). If that’s not relevant, then there is no answer to the original question that is relevant. Fortunately, it is obviously relevant: I was quite happy that the Developer listed to the feedback of the users, and re-published all those old installers so that people can still go grab the older copies of the application. He didn’t have to, and I appreciate that he did.

@PeterJones

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

the Find dialog seems to pop up where it left at last Find.

This seems very reasonable to me.

…sometimes a “Seek & find”!

Shouldn’t be…it’s where you “left (it) at last Find”.

Summary: Put it where you want it to appear always, and it will always appear in that same spot.

@tauniaxd ,

I have added the ability to do rgba(0,127,127,0.05)-type colors to the on-demand script at
https://github.com/pryrt/nppStuff/blob/main/pythonScripts/nppCommunity/21xxx/21044-ColorizeHtmlCssColors.py

If you prefer full underline, then change lines 24 and 26 of the script to use INDICATORSTYLE.PLAIN instead of INDICATORSTYLE.DASH

And please don’t forget the easiest solution, just uncheck the option to install the Context Menu Entry during Notepad++ installation.

@rdipardo said in A question about dark mode, plugins, and an owner-draw ComboBox:

Try passing the control’s handle to the ::SetWindowTheme function provided by the uxtheme header, using L"DarkMode_CFD" as the pszSubAppName; to restore light mode, call it with the same arguments, but change pszSubAppName to a null pointer.

Thanks, Robert. At first attempt, this doesn’t appear to solve the problem.

The colors are right with just NPPM_DARKMODESUBCLASSANDTHEME; the problem is that the static control shows unknown text instead of the selected drop-down entry, and attempting to select from the drop-down produces bizarre highlighting and tracking instead of what is expected (and still doesn’t set the static control). Adding the SetWindowTheme call doesn’t change that. Removing NPPM_DARKMODESUBCLASSANDTHEME, of course, makes everything else light, and for the control in question, SetWindowTheme only seems to change the drop-down chevron. Interestingly, NPPM_DARKMODESUBCLASSANDTHEME does get all the colors right, including in the owner-drawn drop-down; it just breaks the functionality in the process.

The problem goes away entirely if I remove the CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style (but then, of course, it doesn’t display as intended, showing the color associated with each indicator that can be selected). That’s why I feel like the problem is most likely to do with the sub-classing. I can’t find any clear documentation on how all that works. I don’t even know why the controls are being sub-classed, and not just themed. Maybe there is a way to exempt that control from sub-classing, and do whatever it is that the sub-classing does in my own code?

A pointer to actual documentation on this design, how it works and how it is meant to be used would be wonderful, but I’m guessing no such thing exists. :-(

Religious freedom?
You mean NaZi freedom.

什么宗教自由？根本纳粹自由。
记不记得40%当时胜选总统的时候多猖狂，大叫在野党「输不起」。
结果呢？自己选输立法院，输不起，违法在选举结束之后不到一年之内，开始大罢免。

操纵司法，操纵媒体舆论，为了掩饰自己贪污，诬蔑柯文哲贪污。
迫害政敌，活活逼迫某夫人跳楼自杀。

大罢免大便32比0，一席也没罢掉，倒是苛贱民下台滚出立法院了，真是大快人心，活该自找，天谴报应。

一场大罢免，世界级闹剧，白费公帑12亿不说，某网红甚至自己承认自己「模仿希特勒」，组织冲锋队。

你们根本不知道，也没有所谓「宗教自由」，有的只是「信仰邪教的自由」。谁不信邪教，谁就该死；谁敢批评执政党，谁就被肃清迫害。

@Murray-Sobol-1 ,

The links you pointed to were to the old 2017 pre-Notepad++-7.6 “Plugin Manager” plugin’s plugin-list. (There used to be a plugin which handled installing/uninstalling plugins in Notepad++. In v7.6, that was integrated into the core Notepad++ code, so that Don could make sure that the Plugins Admin always stayed compatible with Notepad++, rather than relying on a third party for such an important feature.) For nearly a decade, https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/ has been the home of the official list of plugins that gets shown in Plugins Admin.

@pierrecoach ,

More on the disappearance of NppCrypt and its repo can be found in this NppPluginList issue. I won’t re-iterate the details, since you can read them there if you are curiuos. But I will say that it looks like @chcg is going to try to resurrect the plugin from archives of the original source code; but it might take him some time. Until then, I’m not sure that any of the links given have any compiled DLL available. Hopefully, you don’t have any critical data that was encrypted on some other machine, that you need to decrypt with the plugin on this new setup. If you do, let us know… (Actually, if you do: do you also have access to the old machine? If so, you can copy the ...\notepad++\plugins\NppCrypt directory from the installation on that machine, and put it on your new machine.)

@PeterJones said in Make notrepad++ default:

It seems a mixed bag: wanting it as system default, associated with lots of file types, and using the Shell Extension, but not wanting to “install” it. It might help us give you better advice if you explain what parts of the “install” that you are opposed to. Is it just storing the settings in %AppData% that you don’t like? Or is there something else? The installer can install into any directory, not just Program Files; the installer can choose to not use %AppData% (as long as it’s not installed in Program Files); the installer automatically registers the Shell Extension for you.

Thanks for all the patience and instruction. I studied those data transfer tutorials, and I “think” I got it right. A little complicated because in Portableapps, in some cases there are up to three iterations of the same file in separate locations. So far, it looks and behaves like the Portableapps.

Is it just storing the settings in %AppData% that you don’t like?

I know the best way to do things is the install. I like to keep things simple. I have very limited space on my OS partition, so I like to keep things as simple as I can by going portable whenever possible, and locating elsewhere. It also makes things easier if you must do an image restore.

That said, considering what you have advised, I think I will do the install. and avoid storing the settings in %AppData%.

After the installation now that I have the working portable version. can I move it to the install directory, mindful of the fact that there will be files in that directory that must retained? Or is it not that simple?

@PeterJones Thank you. I just found this forum after searching about the multiple line issue. I’ve been using Notepad++ for years, fantastic program. First text editor I’d found that did search and replace on end of line charaters since good old Wordstar.

@Hiroki-H1974 said in The Column count of Zenkaku chr. is 1?:

So, the position is not the same even if Col: count is same because the line contains some Zenkaku chrs.

I don’t know Japanese; please forgive me if I’ve missed the point in some way.

The column (“col:”) in the status bar is just a count of characters from the beginning of the line, starting at one. (That’s not even always what you might expect; combining characters that form a single visible character are still counted separately.)

Aside from a few things like cursor positioning, line wrapping and selection with the mouse, Notepad++ (like the Scintilla control it uses for editing) doesn’t concern itself with the physical space occupied by characters. In English, we can use a proportional font, and a line of twelve characters will show the next “column” as 13, whether they are IIIIIIIIIIII or WWWWWWWWWWWW.

So (though I haven’t attempted to test it), regardless of font, I would expect that there would be no recognition of the difference between half-width and full-width characters.

@William-Fields said in Curse of the Curly Quotes:

When pasting code into NP++ from another source, no matter what I do, if the source has curly quotes, the pasted content has curly quotes.

Right. That’s because the curly quote characters have different codepoints from ASCII quotemarks.

It’s doing the right thing.

If you want to convert, then use a regular expression:
FIND = [“”]
REPLACE = "
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression
REPLACE ALL

change all curly quotes to straight quotes when opening documents or pasting content

There’s no such command or option in Notepad++, because that would be Notepad++ changing characters from one codepoint to another without user interaction, which is the antithesis of text editing

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/102348

The Direct Write ligature-effects from the post you showed is just the fonts changing the appearance of characters based on font ligature rules, but the underlying characters that Notepad++ is presenting are the exact same characters as found on disk. On the other hand, the curly quotes that you are copying and pasting are different characters from the ASCII quote.

@martin-honnen ,

Please be careful when forking and keeping the original name for an apparently-abandoned plugin. Sometimes, it turns out it wasn’t as abandoned as thought – something like that happened with NppConsole plugin (as obliquely mentioned in a recent Topic here): a few years ago, it appeared abandoned, so a regular here took the source code, and made their own fork, but kept the original name (thinking it would be safe, because it appeared to be no longer supported in the original channel); but then, fast forward a few more years, and the original author did provide their own upgrades to the original plugin – so now there are two competing development paths, each having version numbers not present in the chain for the other, which will make any future questions in the forum confusing, as to which NppConsole plugin is actually being talked about.

Similarly, if morbac ever decides to come back to the plugin, then your fork and the original could have conflicting and/or confusing version numbers and naming.

I would highly recommend coming up with your own name for your product, if you are planning to continue development and support on your version of the plugin. If it’s really just a one-off thing, and you aren’t planning on future bugfixes/improvements/support, then it’s up to you whether it’s worth the rename; but if you want to continue to work on the plugin, then I’d suggest the rename.

OTOH: if you can get permission from @morbac to take over completely, then it’s safe to keep the original name, because you’ve got the permission. (It’s most clear, in cases like that, if you can get write permission to the original repo – @chcg was able to do with @bruderstein’s PythonScript, and that sense of continuity makes it more obvious that his is still the “official” PythonScript.)

@Steve-Plumlee said in Flickering screen on the latest edit that i've made (like a preview of current and previous state):

@GM-Bobby-B Hi I am having the same experience. I suspect this is a new “Feature” but I have been unable to determine where the setting is to turn it off.

Did you ever figure it out? @Lycan-Thrope Appreciate your FAQ items but I think this is a feature that was added. Maybe one of the dev’s can answer that

Forum search didn’t result in any other posts so maybe it’s a plugin or something?

No, if the video that the original poster put in reddit last year is realy what you’re seeing, it’s not a “feature”.

@Lycan-Thrope linked to the FAQ because the original poster didn’t give enough version information to be any help. And despite thanking him for the link to the FAQ, neither did you. Share your ?-menu’s Debug Info to let us know what version you are using, and many other things that are often relevant to debugging uncommon problems.

That user has never come back to this forum since the original post, so never even saw @Lycan-Thrope’s answer. And the people in Reddit just found that changing the caret blink rate in the preferences “fixed” it for them… though that should have nothing to do with what Notepad++ displays.

My guess is that it was really a plugin causing the problem, or that the underlying cause is actually something slowing down the entire computer, causing it to refresh Notepad++'s screen at odd times.

If you think it might be a plugin, we’ve got a different FAQ which has a section on diagnosing “Possible Culprit: Plugin”: you should follow the steps included there.

@shodanx2

See HERE.

@Martin-Bishop said in Notepad++ not responding:.

I followed the steps above and was certain it was a new plugin I installed earlier in the day, but the removal of plugin, creating a backup Notepad++ folder in %AppData% and completely uninstalling NP++ before reinstalling it hasn’t fixed anything.

For now, the only way to start it is to use the -noPlugin command line argument on my usual shortcut to the program.

If using -noPlugin makes it work, that means it’s one of your plugins, or an interaction between multiple plugins, causing the issue. Our freeze/crash/plugin FAQ explains how to try to isolate which plugin is the culprit.

@Rene-Balduk ,

Are you in an IT-controlled environment that requires connecting to a proxy to connect to the internet? If so, then you (or someone from IT) will need to launch Notepad++ As Admin, and set ? > Set Updater Proxy to the right value. (127.0.0.1 is your localhost – ie your own computer – and it surprises me that it would be pointing to a proxy on your own machine)
