      @Erin-Phillips ,

      In v8.8, the tab bar settings were moved to their own page of preferences, no longer in General.

      2f342be0-f3f6-4e55-9141-23e28da560bd-image.png

      See the v8.8 release notes or the user manual.

      Occasionally, preferences are moved to a different or separate page of the dialog, because new options require more room than exist on the original page – for example, recent additional tab bar settings made it impossible to fit them all with the “general” settings, so they were moved to their own page, so that there’s room for them again.

      The User Manual tries to note all of those moves, so if you have a preference that you cannot find, just search for the preference text (like last tab or exit on close), and it will tell you where it moved to, and where it used to be. (After a few years, the “(changed in vX.Y.Z)” is removed, to avoid too much clutter; but we try to make it easy to find.)

      @podlipom51-podlipom51 said in File empty after opening it as Adminitrator:

      I was unable to save file. Suggested to open as Administrator after accepting my file is empty. It is very important file for me what to do?

      Where were you trying to save the file? To somewhere in c:\program files\ or c:\windows or similarly protected area? Or were you trying to save to a normal writeable directory on your machine’s local drive? Or a mounted network drive? Because it only suggests Administrator if it gets a “permission denied” error when you try to write the file.

      after accepting my file is empty. It is very important file for me what to do?

      Bummer. Unfortunately, if you already restarted Notepad++, and it didn’t have the Settings > Preferences > Backup set to take “session snapshots and periodic backups”, your unsaved changes were never written to disk anywhere. As soon as Notepad++ exited, those bits were removed from active memory, and were lost. Since the files were likely never written to disk, I doubt that an external file-recovery utility like Recuva would work for you, but you might try directing such at the `c:\users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup

      See our FAQ on backups for more details about how the Notepad++ backup settings work, how the AutoSave plugin can help improve things, and best-practice suggestions for avoiding data loss in the future.

      Also, I think one of the frequent contributors is actively working on a solution to have Notepad++ be able to get UAC permission for a file-save without needing to restart the application – such a feature would definitely help in your case. Unfortunately, I’ve spent the last few minutes trying to find the Issue or PR where that was being discussed, and haven’t found it yet.

      @Craig-Harbison said in Notepad++ v8.8.2 Release:

      I have both 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 versions.
      they both work fine on my Win10 laptop but neither will read or let me edit my json files on my new Win11 laptop.

      Really sucks.

      I can read and edit JSON just fine with both those versions. I doubt it’s a regression, but we can help you investigate what’s going wrong for you if you start a new Topic to discuss it. If it does end up finding a problem with Notepad++, we can then direct you to the right location to inform the developer.

      If you really want help figuring out your problem, please go to the Help Wanted category, click New Topic, and write a detailed post: list your exact steps for how you are trying to read or edit JSON (ie, how you are opening the files, where the files are located, whether on your local drive, a USB drive, a network drive, etc) and what messages or circumstances indicate to you that the JSON file is not being read or edited? Please also go to your ? menu on the right of the Notepad++ menu bar, and click Debug Info, and Copy debug info to clipboard, and paste that in your new topic.

      @lιƒєlιηє-__,

      Just press the question mark (?) button in Notepad++, located near the Windows key,

      The Windows key is a physical thing on the keyboard, the ? menu is a graphical element you can click in the Notepad++ menu bar. How a menu-entry can be “near” a key on your keyboard is completely and totally beyond comprehension.

      If you’re going to bother posting to a topic that had been answered and left dormant years ago, the least you could do is not bring in false information.

      (And the advice to “press the question mark (?) button … and click’Update Notepad++'” had already been given in various forms three years ago. So that added nothing new.)
