@RunninglVlan said in Updater enhancement: For example, someone would like to install only major version updates or only minor version updates, ignoring patch versions. Which might be meaningful for some applications. But Notepad++ isn’t very regular about such things. Usually vN.0 has some spiffy new feature… but sometimes, it’s just because the v(N-1).9 was the last version released. Sometimes, vN.M.(x+1) is just a bugfix from vN.M.x, but sometimes it has fancy new features that make it significantly better – and, when it is the bugfix, sometimes the bug that it fixes is really important to fix, and you wouldn’t want to ever run the unfixed version. Often, vN.0 or vN.M.0 have more bugs than vN.1 or vN.M.1, just because the new feature hadn’t been put completely through its paces yet. To be clear: you’re free to use whatever decision criteria you want, and I’m not trying to say that’s not allowed. But looking only at version number on Notepad++ will tell you nothing about whether it’s just a bugfix or a new feature revision, or give any indication as to how stable any given feature is, or otherwise assuming that it carries more information than a number to distinguish it from the earlier number is giving more weight to the pieces of the number than are really there. But, as @Ekopalypse linked, we cannot change the code base from this Community forum.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Found Indecent Phrase during Installation: I seem to recall this has been pointed out before; not sure if it was in a community posting here, or someone actually made a github issue out of it. There was a recent post here, and it actually linked to times when the phrase was removed then re-installed. According to the comments in those commit messages, there were complaints whichever direction he changed the quotes.

@Dan-Brownsword , Oops, your python file path looks like it has spaces. Try RUN = cmd /k C:\Users\brown\anaconda3\pkgs\python-3.8.8-hdbf39b2_5\python.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" – the quotes make it so that the spaces are treated as part of the file name, rather than as argument separators.

@Dominique-Charbonnel , My copy of NPP v8.1.2 that was upgraded from an earlier version but already had NppFTP still works. I unzipped a fresh portable NPP v8.1.2 into a known-writable directory, and used Plugins Admin to install NppFTP, and after restarting Notepad++, NppFTP worked as expected. So NppFTP works with NPP v8.1.2. My guess is that you have a permission issue – especially since you tried to install another plugin and it still didn’t work. My recommendation: Try with just simple permissions Exit notepad++ go into c:\program files\notepad++\ (or wherever notepad++.exe is on your system) and make sure that the plugins subdirectory exists and that you have write permission: Right Click on Plugins, select Properties Select Security tab and click Edit If your username is in the list on the top, click on it; otherwise Add it Once your username is selected, in the “Allow” column, click on the Full Control (change box from ☐ to ☑) Apply then OK to get out of top dialog, then OK to get out of remaining dialog Start Notepad++ and try to install NppFTP (or other plugin) again If that doesn’t work, try again with elevated permissions Exit notepad++ go into c:\program files\notepad++\ (or wherever notepad++.exe is on your system) right click on notepad++.exe, and select Run As Administrator try to install NppFTP (or other plugin) again If neither works, give the exact sequence of events in your own words, so that we can help you debug what went wrong

There’s a chance it will change as soon as Windows 11 is released. If not, then it should be reported as a bug on GitHub.

@Chris-Tanguay-0 So you have to do a Replace in Files to do something like this. Yes, use regex to replace . with \U$0. There are other ways to do it, of course, you could do the find on non-uppercase and only convert those matches, for instance. I’d say to definitely do a backup on all your files first!

@Igor , I’m not sure if there are any experts in thread callstacks in this Community discussion forum. Normally my first guesses for any “freeze” would be: (1) a plugin or (2) the huge file is using a syntax highlighter. To check (1), run with -noPlugin command-line option; to check (2), switch Language menu selection to None (Normal Text) As always when asking for technical help in Notepad++, or trying to show a problem, giving the ?-menu’s Debug Info is a good idea. And giving more information about the file (actual size, rather than just saying “large”; file extension and what Language that Notepad++ auto-selects or that you manually selected; whether the file is on a HDD or SSD or on a network drive) It should be noted that Notepad++ editor component hasn’t been optimized for huge files (on the order of hundreds of megabytes, and definitely not for gigabyte-and-larger files), because it tries to put the whole file into memory, and doesn’t do any memory-paging techniques. There are plugins like the BigFiles plugin (available through Plugins > Plugins Admin) that help with such things, but there are drawbacks to those plugin implementations. But if you’ve found a true bug, you can read the FAQ about bug reports and follow the directions there to create a bug-report issue in the location it links you to.

@Милен-Симеонов said in Dark mode problem: I use custom windows theme I am not going to pay money to try to replicate someone else’s problem. Dark mode after restart With the various dark themes available (DarkModeDefault or any of the other dark-ish themes that are included by default with Notepad++), I was able to switch to the theme, verify it looks good, exit Notepad++, restart Notepad++, and see that the menu’s still look right, with spacing/etc. I don’t know of any setting in a theme that would affect that spacing, so I don’t know how your theme could be the culprit. Maybe you have a plugin that’s getting confused. Could you go to the ?-menu’s Debug Info and copy from that dialog and paste in your reply? It will show us what Plugins you have installed, and maybe give other clues. To quickly verify if it’s a plugin, exit out of Notepad++ and then try running with the -noPlugin command-line option, and see if the problem still exists – if it does when you run like that, then it’s definitely not a plugin. Also, you could download a portable/zip version of Notepad++ and unzip into a known folder (like on your desktop) and run from there – without changing any settings other than going to darkmode, and not adding any of your other plugins – and see if the portable copy has the same problem – if it works fine in the portable but not in your normal installation, then it’s probably a setting you have somewhere (either your custom theme, or some other setting).
