Cant change cursor color, and latest version shortcut to start batch file claims it cant find it
-
Hello!
today I upgraded to the latest versions (since years I havent did this) and I have a c:\xxx.bat file starting from a shortcut, and now it claims it doesnt find it. when going back to older version (7.5, 8.0) this works.
also cant change cursor color, I am trying to change it in style configurator global styles -> caret color, doesnt work, theme is set to default, I have an own defined languge styler, but I dont find it in the language list in case it should be changed there. cursor is black.
thanks for any help!

Which version do you think is the latest (see FAQ: Most Recent Version)? ie, did you just ? > Update Notepad++ to get v8.9.1? Or was it a few weeks ago, and pointing to v8.8.8 (IIRC)? Because the actual latest is v8.9.2. But if you’re not explicit, we don’t know what definition of “latest” you are using.

can you show us the relevant portions of the
<UserDefinedCommands>section ofshortcuts.xml– specifically, the<Command>entry for thec:\xxx.bat… because the way you described your action, there shouldn’t be any change in how a run-menu-command is processed between v8.0 and now.also cant change cursor color, I am trying to change it in style configurator global styles -> caret color, doesnt work, theme is set to default, I have an own defined languge styler, but I dont find it in the language list in case it should be changed there. cursor is black.
It works for me, in both v8.9.1 and v8.9.2.
If you have done a multi-select (ctrl+click) to have multiple carets, then you also have to use Multi-Edits Colour, otherwise, they will be separate colors, as in:
update: also, what are your Settings > Preferences > Editing 1 > Caret settings? Because with width=1, it’s really hard to see, and you just might not notice the change in color. For my screenshots above, I was using width=3 and super-slow blink rate, so that the screenshot would easily show the change in color. But by default, Caret settings look more like this :
