…and their users!

Seeing how the Plugin Manager is a huge asset to Notepad++, do you know if @Dave-Brotherstone plans on updating it or adding the ability to distinguish between 32 and 64 bit plugins?

Oups, sorry, I didn’t see your message. I have contacted @Dave-Brotherstone for this issue, without any reply.
I’ll try surly to contact @Dave-Brotherstone again for this issue.

Or even updating the current list of plugins…since it is so outdated. It is really hurting plugin developers.

the current list of plugins? Which one?

@donho

the current list of plugins? Which one?

The list of plugins that Dave Brotherstone has to publish so that the plugin manager can find new/updated plugins. It was finally updated a few weeks ago, but before that, it was nearly a year…meaning plugin developers couldn’t provide any new or updated plugins.

@donho Has something changed in the notification process for the 64-bit build? My plugins receive notifications correctly in the 32-bit build of NPP, but not in the 64-bit build. For example, Sci_SCNotification.nmhdr.code contains correct values in the 32-bit build, but in the 64-bit build I always only get value 0 (zero). All without changing any code of my plugins.

First of all I can’t say I know that much about what I’m doing when it comes to 64 bit. However, I was able to modify one of my plugins for 64 bit and the Sci_SCNotification.nmhdr.code values look fine for me. The debugger shows appropriate values and my plugin behaves correctly (which heavily relies on the nmhdr.code value).

@dail May I please ask which IDE + version and what programming language you are using?

Wow, you are fast! Thank you for the info. I’m on Delphi (10.1 Berlin). I will check this and will write a reply.

Hi,
I’ve developed my plugin with C# and not C++.
What should I do?

StanDog

Just a small note to Delphi developers about my previous problem: Problem fixed. It was due to an outdated plugin template, or more precisely: “Longword” was used instead of “NativeUInt” and “Longint” instead of “NativeInt”. The both last ones are platform dependent, while the first two are platform dependent too but only 8 bytes long on the 64-Bit-iOS platform.

Hi,
I did some x64 porting for npp plugin manager under https://github.com/chcg/nppPluginManager/tree/app_veyor build under https://ci.appveyor.com/project/chcg/npppluginmanager/build/1.0.19, not yet splitted and consolidated as pull requests. Anyhow the plugin manger needs an extension (similar to the outdated ansi/unicode detection in the xml list of all plugins) to provide plugins as x64 version if running under x64 version of notepad++.

@niccord
See https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/12633/npppluginnet-64-bit/4 for c# plugin based on https://github.com/kbilsted/NotepadPlusPlusPluginPack.Net and previous NppPluginNet.

whats a plug in?

@donho - If you have time, it would be nice to add a dedicated x64 version page to the NPP website, including a link or pointer to available help documentation and an updated list of compatible plugins. Current status of the x64 Plugin Manager would also be helpful. It’s not clear if those on the github link are all 64-bit or not. Maybe add a page heading to that effect? Many thanks for all your work!

@gabriela-mendoza plugin is something which will help you in working with notepad++ more easily and reliably.

Can the list of available plug-ins include a column to show if they are 32 or 64 bit. Would help us users check which can be installed manually. At the moment it is a suck it a see.

@David-Cooper
32-bit Notepad++ can only have 32-bit plugins so PluginManager only shows 32-bit plugins.
64-bit Notepad++ can only have 64-bit plugins so PluginManager only shows 64-bit plugins.
No need for an “address model” column in the PluginManager.

For X64 Debug, just need to disable C++ optimizations to build without error (I’m on VS2017)

The Scintilla.h file in this template is out of date, causing runtime errors in x64 plugins.
