Notepad++ v7.4 released
-
Windows 10 Creators update, again though, going back to v7.3.3 does not do this, it’s only with version v7.4. So something changed with this version.
-
Seems I can’t edit my old post anymore, but I just wanted to let you know that I reinstalled v7.4 after going back to v7.3.3, and this connection does not happen anymore… I’m not sure what has changed. Weird either way.
-
@ImSpecial Please let me know if it happens again.
-
Bah I spoke too soon, it did go away for a bit… but it seems on a PC reboot, the first launch of NP++, that connection makes my firewall pop up again, until I just give it an allow rule. kind of annoying for me since I like to keep a very tight, small amount of rules for my firewall.
I hope this can be worked around.
-
@ImSpecial So can you reproduce this issue steadily?
-
It seems so, it also seems to be tied to Windows Cached Certification Files, if these get cleared for whatever reason, a connection prompts.

@donho
I tried this and it does seem fixed… we’ll see if this comes back later though. Thank you for fixing this BTW! -
@ImSpecial You’re welcome. Feel free to let me know if this issue persists.
-
Please disable the online connection on startup!!
I went back to 7.3.3 just because of that. -
I have a small problem with the new release v7.4 in Windows 10. I use it in a closed environment without internet connection.
The startup in 7.4 takes about 10 seconds. I tried it with complete new install without plugins, the portable versions and x86 + x64. The startup time is always about 10 seconds…
If I use the v7.3.3. it directly pops up without a second delay.Can someone confirm this behaviour? Is there a solution or a direction where to start?

and let me know if this issue has been fixed. -
Yes ! Yippey!
If I use the fixed ZIP it works like i used to know it. Perfect!Are you going to release a v7.4.1?

Hello everyone!
A little issue: if you were opened a big file in one of the tabs and then hover the mouse under this tab it reads this file too long and Notepad++ hungs. Mayby it is better to restrict size of file to preview or do not read whole the file (just few lines). I’ve fixed this problem bu unchecking “Peek on tab” checkbox in the settings.

@donho
Yes, the issue is now fixed. Thanks. -
Are you going to be revising the version number? I downloaded the latest version ~2hours ago and want to ensure it contains the latest fix.
-
I can see why a big file would be a problem for this new “preview” feature. Also, the preview itself is REALLY SMALL, so small that one has to question its usefulness!

@Daniel-McGurk @Daniel-McGurk
A new official release 7.4.1 will come out in about 8 hours. -
@donho Many thanks!
