Before anyone can offer some ideas you will need to expand your description of the problem.

Like how many tabs open. How big are some of the files/tabs. What are your backup settings. It seems that your problem has existed before the latest update, correct? Provide the details of your installation using the ? menu option, copy and paste here. There is a FAQ post to help you. Sorry writing on phone so can’t easily provide the link.

I’ve been footling around with my plugin a bit to try and generate a PR automatically when a new version is released. So - is the layout of the json files significant.

Most of the entries look like

\t\t\t{ \t\t\t"folder-name": "Linter++", \t\t\t"display-name": "Linter++", \t\t\t"version": "1.0.3.0", \t\t\t"npp-compatible-versions": "[8.7.5,]", \t\t\t"id": "F56573351010B62BFC75039725496C8687D53E82A3F47074F1F1B629A37A92C1", \t\t\t"repository": "https://github.com/ThosRTanner/notepad-pp-linter/releases/download/1.0.3/plugin_dll_ARM64.zip", \t\t\t"description": "Allows realtime code check against any checkstyle-compatible linter: jshint, eslint, jscs, phpcs, csslint, and many others.", \t\t\t"author": "Tom Tanner", \t\t\t"homepage": "https://github.com/thosrtanner/notepad-pp-linter" \t\t\t},

So I thought i could do my updater in python, just load up the json file, modify my entry, and dump it back, then commit

One entry (just one) uses spaces instead of tabs.

So my question is is there an official layout for these files? Is any valid json permissible (all on one line for instance), or is it expected to be formatted as 1 line per key and indented with tabs?

Would converting those spaces to tabs as part of my PR be frowned upon, or should I just read the file and modify the lines appropriately?

@PeterJones said in Is There a Way to Prevent Pasted Text from Spreading Out with Rows of Spaces?:

Or, since you said,

there aren’t any unused ones available under Plugins > Customize Toolbar

- I assume this is the one where you say, "there aren't any unused ones available". I cannot imagine that you've _actually_ enabled another couple-dozen buttons from its list, so that there are no other "available toolbar buttons", as that toolbar would be so full as to be unusable. On the other hand, that's the only thing I imagine that you _could_ mean by such a sentence.

Yes, all of the Old Large Legacy Icons are in the Current toolbar buttons box. After checking them, I decided that I might use all of them in the future.

Well, with all of that said, thanks for being patient and hanging in there through all of this. I have everything working, including adding a new icon to the toolbar. And thanks for the updated scripts.

I hope this thread serves many others.
