@sevem47 said: Just for your information; this is something I can NOT confirm. For me Search++ even runs on my old, not up to date Windows 7 machine (see below debug info). Perhaps this is as well a question of having all the “correct libraries” to be able to run the plugin. Well, that’s interesting. Thank you for that information! I will take a closer look.

@PeterJones thanks mate.

@Afik-Gilboa said: and I am not doing “run as admin”, at least not on purpose Your Debug Info clearly indicates you are running as Admin, and I believe that your Notepad++ title bar will also say Administrator on it. If you aren’t doing it on purpose, then you need to check your Windows right-click Properties on notepad++.exe and whatever shortcut you are using (on your desktop, task bar, or start menu) and see if one of them has it set to run as Admin in the Compatibility tab (see this recent discussion if you need more on how to check executables or shortcuts for run-as-admin and how to change that). there is no “NppFTP.xml” file in Documents. Ugh. I had forgotten this, because at one point I knew that NPPM_GETPLUGINSCONFIGDIR ignores cloud or settingsDir settings, and instead always uses either AppData or Portable. Annoying “feature” of the message. :-( Sorry for the bad memory. So, anyway, that means that NppFTP should be using %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\NppFTP\ directory, and the NppFTP.xml should be there, instead. So that’s where you should go looking for it. See which of those directories exist, and look at the permissions of the directories and files there.

@PeterJones Without the whale, it’s just Burns and Allen.

Search++ version 0.6.4 is available. It is expected to fix the bug reported here. Even though it seems most people never experience that bug, I still recommend upgrading at the next convenient time, so we will all be testing the same code. It’s always possible that I broke something else. I am still working on improving the multi-threading for find in files. I’m also trying to decide how best to mitigate a problem wherein Search++ fails to load when a particular Windows redistributable library has never been installed on the system. More updates should be coming before too much longer. All thoughts, suggestions, comments, criticisms, bug reports and raspberries are welcome, and thank you to everyone willing to give this jalopy a good work-out.
