Hi @Nephilimi — one thing to be aware of with the config.xml route: that file is per Windows user, so on servers where several admins log in, editing one person’s file won’t change the behaviour for everyone else. You’d have to apply it to every profile, or use the machine-wide installer option that @PeterJones mentioned. Honestly, on a managed fleet of 100+ servers I’d go further and switch the auto-updater to “Never” in the base image, then push new versions through your normal server tooling. The built-in check is really aimed at standalone desktops; if you’re already deploying software centrally, it only duplicates what your pipeline does — and that gets rid of all five dialogs in your list, not just their timing.

@MarkusBodensee , Okay, I followed your instructions to reproduce and I did, in fact reproduce it upon starting Firefox a new, but like @peterjones has mentioned, that’s a Firefox issue. A clue might be that I have everything reset between browser uses, so everything gets reset upon shutting down. I have high security setting. I have somewhat of an explanation, however. Many times when I’ve signed out of sites, I can go to resign back in, and the ‘username’ is still valid, and all I have to enter is my password. via Firefox password feature. Sometimes things mess up and won’t function, and I have to close the browser to reset everything, and apparently, that is what’s happening with the Notepad++ main page. When you refresh the page, it’s doing a kind of soft reset (Ctrl/Alt/Del), versus a hard reset(power button), when you do a reload and resets parameters.

@Guido-Thelen said: And no, it isn’t limited to Standard SQL. The Navigator visualizes the result of the formatter, so it works with every dialect the formatter supports (30+, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Snowflake and more). For now it shows SQL statements and DDL. If you run into a statement it doesn’t break down correctly, I’d be glad to get a sample. That’s good to know, that it handles the different variants, and although I don’t get to do a lot of difficult/complex SQL, there are many in the dBASE community who do, as they use dBASE as the frontend interface and ADO to connect with the different SQL backends to replace the aging BDE. I’m sure any of our developers who use the dBASE UDL we made can probably use this as well. I clued them into using CSV Lint and Csv Query plugins for working with manipulating text data before importing it, so this tool will also come in handy. I saw some of their complicated SQL when doing the UDL so I could properly implement color coding, keyword and AutoCompletion features and used their sample SQL statements to test against for color coding and keyword collisions. You’re right, the problem with Workbench is you need a live connection to the data, so this will be a great non-connect SQL diagnostic tool for them. Thanks for doing it and hopefully I’ll be able to play with it sometime soon, but right now my plate is full elsewhere with RL issues.

@T.I-Digital-Solutions , These super-generic “what’s your workflow?” posts come up every once in a while. Maybe you should try to search up the older ones – they follow almost exactly your wording, so they shouldn’t be hard to find. I don’t seem to remember the original poster coming back and learning anything from them, or even interacting again in most cases, so I don’t know that there’s really much point to them. But since you ask, UDL and built-in syntax highlighting are non-negotiables, and I like the regex-based s+r (though I don’t need the complicated expressions that so many people ask us to make for them). As far as plugins go – for automating stuff for myself, PythonScript and NppExec and QuickText (I set up most of my workflow stuff ages ago, such that I don’t do anything new with those plugins, really… they just sit in the background making my life easier without me thinking about them anymore.) But really, context-less questions like this are meaningless. What features, plugins, etc, would help you depend completely on what you do in Notepad++. If you never touch HTML, then someone saying all their favorite XML/HTML plugins would not help you one whit.

All, Please try and use ComparePlus v3 - it is the latest released version. If you experience any problem with it you could report it directly here or you could write here in the Notepad++ community forum for help and advise from fellow users. I also visit the forum from time to time to check the “news” for our favorite editor :) Good luck and thanks
