Opened files fully expanded

Christian Hoffmann

Hi,
In Notepad++, I have a working memo, and I open the useful parts.
But every day, when I open Notepad++, since an update, the file is completely unfolded.

Is your “working memo” highlighted in a built-in language (like C++ or Python) or a user-defined language?

I know almost nothing about code folding in Notepad++, because I never make use of it. That said, your answer to my above question might help someone more knowledgeable solve your problem.

I’m pretty sure that Notepad++ does not store code folding information to the hard drive. If that’s true, there’s no way for Notepad++ to remember how your code was folded between sessions.

Tested v8.8.1 being quite a new and clean portable and reopens new 1 folded

Set as Python language folded at if on line 1. Programmatically regarded as line 0.

new 1:

if a:
    b

session.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<NotepadPlus>
    <Session activeView="0">
        <mainView activeIndex="0">
            <File firstVisibleLine="0" xOffset="0" scrollWidth="39" ... snipped ...>
                <Fold line="0" />
            </File>
        </mainView>
        <subView activeIndex="0" />
    </Session>
</NotepadPlus>

See the xml tag Fold. Folding is saved and restored.

More details might be needed to solve your issue, like version being used … as ? -> Debug info... shows.
