Upgraded to ver. 7.2, NppColorPicker plugin is gone.

Hello Notepad++ Community Forum;

Question 1: Where is a safe place to download the Notepad++ ColorPicker plugin?

Question 2: Is SourceForge dot net safe for downloads?

I upgraded my Notepad++ from version 6.9.2 to version 7.2 today. My 6.9.2 version had the NppColorPicker plugin.

I started the 7.2 version. The NppColorPicker is gone. I can’t remember where I got it (i.e. the NppColorPicker plugin). I am pretty sure I didn’t download it from SourceForge dot net.

I heard from somewhere, I think it may have been from this forum, that SourceForge dot net is no longer a reliable website for downloads or that it has been compromised.

Thank you in advance.

You can download it using Plugin Manager. The old Quick Color Picker is gone for unstability issues apparently but there’s a new called Quick Color Picker +, or also according to the plugin manager you can download ir directly from https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/nppqcp/nppqcp-2.0.zip
