Joseph DeVore

HI DON!! removed Plugin Manager… BUMMER!
I can still put it back in manually for now right??

COOL changes!

Joseph DeVore

ok installed… I don’t see the separate style profile in the list for registry…
I see reg and key …
red is still part of “ini file”
and ‘key’ … no where to be seen…
hmm… :/

and…

PS:
I REALLY HATE that we can only edit the post in 180 seconds of the post… MEH!

Hi Team,
I am an OScript developer. I would like to know, what kind of programming languages support for OScript has been provided in Notepad++ 7.5 ? Is there any documentation link or blog, which can help OScript developers to go through?
Thanks in advance

@Meta-Chuh
Indeed. It will be fixed in the next version.

Great news about the built-in plugin manager! I assume it’ll be in the 64-bit build too once you have it finished?

Hey Don, when updating from 7.4.2 using the new /noUpdater parameter the install/upgrade process still puts the updater on the target, but if you install fresh with /s /noUpdater the updater does not get added to the target.

Additional information:

If the target already has 7.4.2 64-bit n++ and you install 32-bit n++ 7.5 using /noUpdater the updater doesn’t get placed on the target.

This isn’t a bug, but can you please add an option to the installer to NOT create a menu shortcut on installs or updates. I know, a first world problem.

Anyway thanks for all your hard work.

@ImSpecial LOL
Give me a good reason to make an option for that.

I very much hope you decide to put back in the 2 Find Next buttons in the Find dialogue. Just my two cents… :-)

ImSpecial

@donho The same reason why almost all installers ask you if you want to create a desktop shortcut during installation… not everyone wants to clutter their desktop with shortcuts, same goes with the start menu, I personally categorize all my shortcuts under relevant folders “Multimedia” “Productivity” “Security” etc. I already have a Notepad++ shortcut placed elsewhere, I don’t need a second one under a “Notepad++” folder.

Ugh, this is very annoying, I hope it comes back too. Guess I’ll be sticking with 7.4.2 for a little while now.

@donho Just noticed now there is a Folder “Notepad++” inside “C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local”

What is this for? I use a portable install and would rather keep these folders in one place and not spread out everywhere.

Hello, Don!
I found a small bug.
Rust lang displayed name how ‘User-Defined’.
The problem in file ‘english.xml’, code id 46080 should be fixed on 46180.

I agree. I started a separate thread about it here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14320/make-find-next-find-prev-buttons-an-option

There’s no language called Nimrod, it’s called Nim
https://nim-lang.org/
Name was changed a long time ago: in(!) the end of 2014 - https://nim-lang.org/blog/2014/12/29/version-0102-released.html

@Artur-Hareson yes in english.xml file (and other <lang>.xml files) id 46080 should be fix on 46180. Also 46150 (Define your langage…) fix on 46250.

@psrdotcom see Style configurator in Settings menu.

@Tiberium lol
I’ve just connect scintilla lexer. Please confirm http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~nimrod/nimrodportal/manual/planfileexamples.shtml is Nim language.
I used sample in this website to validate Nimrod lexer.

@ImSpecial In order to ensure that we are talking about the same thing, could you do a screenshot of “menu shortcut” ?

donho

@Michael-DiGregorio If we use << Find & Find >> buttons, we have to delete the direction option. But then we remove the replace backward ability. That’s the reason of this rolling back.
However, in the current state we can always use Enterfor next and Shift + Enter for previous.

@donho

You made the masses love the << Find and Find >> thing, however briefly! (Not me however as I quickly saw what it broke!)

There has been discussion in other threads that the following series of buttons could make people happy:

<< Find and Find >>
<< Replace and Replace >>
<< Replace All and Replace All >>
