@carypt said in Notepad++ just deleted all the text from my files:
to absolutely know , what is done and where and under what name in my filesystem
When you have a file open in a tab in Notepad++, you can see where changes to it will be saved by:
looking at the title bar of N++, where the full path is shown (there is a preference setting to turn this off but it is on by default)
hovering over the tab with the mouse, at which point a tooltip window will pop up, showing the complete path
REPEAT: There is no need ever to do a Save As on an existing file, unless you intend to create a copy with a different name.
You seem to be a different kind of thinker.
And for other readers: No, @carypt 's postings in this thread are NOT related to the NUL NUL NUL problem in Notepad++.
