Moderator note: with the recent post in this Topic, my attention was drawn here. And I saw that at least one of the most recent links was a malicious download site, so I removed that link. But that has made me revisit all the links in this Topic. Any that are direct links to an actual alternative editor’s official site, or a github page, are left. Ones that are ad-ridden “blogs” with dubious reviews of editors are being removed, because they are all years out-of-date and/or possibly malicious downloads: honestly, if you can type the words “alternative for Notepad++ on Mac”, you can do your own modern websearch and find dozens of those “alternative to” websites which claim to review applictions, and we don’t need this forum to be a link to outdated ad/“review” sites; such links are not helpful to anyone here.

@PeterJones Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! 🤗
I understand now why it behaves differently than before and can totally relate.
Keep up the great work! 👍

btw, i am simply using the superbly integrated ‘Read-Only’ functionaility! So I get the the safety AND convenience (no restart required).

All the best.

@iChal2112 That worked. Thank you :).

I will add the steps in case anyone finds this post with google.

Click the settings icon in the notepad ++ ftp plugin, profile settings, click a profile you want to edit, cache, click the … button by add new button, set a local path I chose C:\Users\user_name\Downloads, set a external path I chose /, click the add new button

An odd thing to note. I am using Windows 11. I also have admin privileges on my computer but still needed to do this. Not sure why I was having trouble. This issue occurred on a red hat server. The red hat server has time out issues all the time.

I have zero problems on my sunos servers. I did not change my cache settings at all on my sunos servers.

Someone that is good with copilot pointed out another option is to use winscp with notepad ++. This required no setup. Just use winscp to open your remote file in notepad++. I have notepad ++ setup as my default text editor. Not sure if this is the case for all Linux/Unix servers but scp is more stable on the red hat server I am using.

Thx for your answers
@Coises: I’ll give it a try

I have been using Notepad++ for years. I frequently get this message, usually after a Windows 11 restart.

I’ve updated Notepad++ whenever prompted, I’ve reinstalled to try to fix the problem. The problem seems to come with the program. I don’t know why I would get this message or what they want ME to do about it. I don’t even know where to find the extra DLL.

Help?

Perfect, thank you for the explanation about how the config file is managed.

One point: I was the one who hallucinated, trying to find a reason for this limitation in regex usage.

Thanks for the clarification!

Much appreciated!

@PeterJones , Perfect, many thanks,
