Notepad++ v7.1 released

A Former User

I’m not sure if this has been reported before, but tab settings do not save properly. I try to enable 4-space tabs with Python files, and it doesn’t acknowledge the change. I have tried a fresh install, and running as admin, and neither help. Additionally, the list of items is repeated twice (normal shows up as [Default]) and the second set does not appear to do anything and the UI doesn’t respond to selecting those items.

Wow ok since you apparently can’t edit or delete posts after 180 seconds have passed, here is an edit:

I forgot how it used to work, so rather than normal replacing [Default] it instead does not show up at the top, and instead shows up in the middle.
Also, I got a lot of random associations that were assigned to completely different things than Notepad++_File on the File Associations area on 7.1, which persisted after my removing them. (I should note that both with older versions and the latest I have to run NPP as admin to change file associations.)

I downgraded and can confirm these issues are not present in 6.9.2.

Also, can the background color for the edit box be set? My theme changes the default system background color to the point that I can’t read the text at all.

Hi i try change the tab settings for a specific language, but it’s not working. just for the default settings.

Tab settings per language broken due to the entries are doubled by error during the preferences dialog reorganization.

This issue has been fixed in repository, and the fix will be in the next release.

Found a critical bug in the installer: You cannot choose to use the “obsolete and monstrous” icon any more!

When during install I disable Auto-Update feature the updater folder is still created in N++ install path and the gpup.exe is still there.

It’s only in x86 version (Tested with x64 installer, works fine for me), and it’s a normal behaviour - gpup.exe is updater come with Plugin Manager plugin. (GUP.exe is Notepad++ updater)

Uninstaller silent mode issue will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks.

So if you follow through with what appears to be a “Save As…”, then what happens?

For me, I type a different filename and press OK. Then my Notepad++ editing tab has the new name and examining the containing folder with Explorer shows that a file with the new name is there and the file with the old name is gone.

Isn’t that a RENAME ?

After update to v7.1 can’t “Save” edited file - simply nothing happens. Only when run as administrator ordinary save works. Uninstalling and going back to any of the previous versions doesn’t help.

Hi Donho,
I need silent uninstall switch for Notepad++ 7.1 application. I have used “C:\Program Files(x86)\Notepad++\Uninstall.exe” /S. In the middlw i am getting custom setting pop up dialod box yes no option. I need silent uninstall without any pop up dialogs. Please suggest.

Strange thing - i open text, which was written on Mac, on Windows, and there are crossed squares instead of cyrillic text. Also, i have message in Skype (on Windows), i copied it and paste to notepad - and here they are, crossed squares. Thin message was written on Mac’s Skype too. UTF-8 setted, changing it doesn’t help. ANSI makes text full of not readable symbols. It happens after update to 7.1, but i don’t remember what version I had before update - quiet old, I think.

Ben McMahon

thanks for the new architecture!!
perhaps I’m blind - but I can’t seem to find the new file size limit. I’m able to open a 1.2gb text file, but not a 7gb file. any idea what the new limit is with 7.1 64bit?

It is not possible to mark a piece of text and drag/drop it to a position that is not visible in the window.
dragging a text to the top or buttom, should result in som sort of scrolling…

@Scott-Sumner
Scott, you are rigth.
I really noticed this “new” way for renaming a file.
Even so, thanks for you attention.
