@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.

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?

@Coises This is an excellent solution. Not only did it solve this specific issue for me (as I transition away from my job, and need to save out many learning notes), but this taught me new tricks that I didn’t know Notepad++ was capable of. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Turns out it was an issue with the GPU driver, which has now been patched.

@archerarcher1 I will suggest LongPathTool to solve this error.

@Liam-Wright I am running the latest NPP (8.9.1) and I don’t see this setting.

Hello,

Here is a demonstration of what altsnap does

You can press the ALT key, or the “hot click” which on my mouse is mouse button #5.

And this allows moving and resizing a window from anywhere.

It is very ergonomic as you don’t have to position the cursor on the thin window edges.

I think this is quite rare and cutting edge practice, most people I think just maximize their window and use one application at a time.

But I have a very large desktop of 4x 40 inch 4K monitors and I needed more efficient way to move the windows around.

As for the scrolling, there are two “middle-click” based scrolling methods I know about. There’s the autoscroll round thing which I don’t really like, it’s like using a thumbstick. It’s good if you want to let it scoll at a constant speed like the text scroll at the beginning of star wars but it is otherwise clumsy and slow to use, not “dextrous”.

I prefer the “scroll anywhere” method which is similar to like you would scroll a touch tablet interface.

I demonstrate both of these modes here

So, what I am asking is like scroll anywhere but in a left-right direction to move the center divider around.

@Maxitrol-Mat said in 4k resolution:

While some things look good, some other things look microscopic.

One thing that may help: In Preferences > Toolbar, try choosing a “large” UI option.
