Hi, Don,

Just a coincidence ! But, hummm…, one contributor per release ? Oh my God ;-))

@guy038 Then 159 must be the lucky number of Notep… Oh my God, wait a minute… Is it XP?!

:)

Hello, @don-ho and All,

Indeed, it is !! Quite a shock for lot of people, isn’t it ? I just imagine the scene. A young N++ user asking : “Hi, Dad, what XP means ?”

Well, I expect to switch, directly, to Windows 10, after the summer holidays, but more likely near Christmas !

Cheers

it works, so christmas 2159 seems to be a good date for the next upgrade ;-)

@guy038

I’m not understanding the 159 and XP conversation. I see the original coincidence of the two 159’s but beyond that, what the heck is being discussed?? :-)

Hi @scott-sumner,

Just because Don noticed that, from my imgur picture, it was taken from an XP station, as he said, in his post :

wait a minute… Is it XP?!

So, I was joking about it :-D

Cheers,

Hi, @don-ho,

After downloading the npp.7.5.8.bin.7z archive and installed it, I noticed that every plugin, part of the release, is, now, located in its own folder, inside the plugins folder

Thinking of a possible bug, I verified, however, that the organization of the other .zip archives, as well as the x64 versions, are quite identical !

So, Don, is this new localization of plugins, the future one ?

Nevertheless, I noticed, that if I moved a plugin, outside its own folder, into the Plugins folder, it still works, on opening N++ :-))

Best Regards,

guy038

I would guess that is an effect from @donho’s in-progress new-and-improved plugin-manager.

After updating to Notepad++ v7.5.8 (32-bit) I have experienced hangs. The all of the menus work but I can not change between window tabs or scroll in the current tab. I have to use File/Exit and restart Notepad++ to recover.

Bug information:

Notepad++ v7.5.8 (32-bit)

I also intermittently get a Notepad++ has shut down unexpectedly message every so often.

Thanks for a great application!

I get the following error when I run DBGp plugin 0.0.13.27: “List index out of bounds (0)”

Is there anything that I could do? Workaround?

Anyway, Thanks for the great program.

I found the reason for my issue. I had a german AE = “Ä” in the path of the script. Without that character in the path DBGp works as expected.

Hi, I just installed the new release and got a problem. Notepad++ crashes when I try to print. It does this in both versions 32 Bit an 64 Bit. I’m on Windows 10 V 1803

@Herb-Hernandez
Could you not load all plugins by launching Notepad++ with argument -noPlugin to see if it’s due to plugin, for example, execute the following line in cmd:
notepad++.exe -noPlugin
?

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I found the solution. Notepad++ doesn’t create the directory %APPDATA%\Roaming\Notepad++\Plugins automatically. I created the directory manually and now Notepad++ crashes any more.
