      So to revisit this:

      if all open files were missing EOL, it would save all files, but only fix the EOL on the active file

      I just re-tested after disabling my more-complicated script, restarting N++, and then activating my script as posted above. I created 3 new named files and make sure each had only a single line of text (only a 1 showing in the line-number margin–thus NO line-ending at end-of-buffer, or anywhere in the buffer for that matter). I activated a different file from these 3 and pressed the Save All toolbar button. Checking all 3 files in turn I found that all had a line 2 in the line number margin and this were all appropriately affected by my callback script.

      Not sure why you would see different behavior. I’m running PS 1.3.0.0 and N++ 7.2.2, which for the latter, I’m confident you are not… ;-)

        I’m in the same position as @PeterJones - only the current active file
        does get the eol added.
        PS 1.3
        Npp 7.5.9

          I guess I will stop posting scripts now…let others do the heavy lifting. :-)

          …unless and until I move to a newer N++…

              To continue with the hijack-tangent of this thread… :-)

              hahahaha, i like … word of the day: hijack-tangent ;-D 👍

              it’s really refreshing, it is different to other bbs’es where this kind of thought exchange is and has to be done via the bbs’ chat and pm systems, often leaving a sterile one post product at the end without any leads how the author(s) got there.

              i think this can be very useful to new interested users to get a better grip of how much time you really need to think about a seemingly simple task and/or consult with others to get a good or perfected result within a short period of time.

              and i guess no one could come up with a good and plausible reason to mind about this kind of hijacking anyways.
              especially because the op is probably happy since yesterday and the rest is a nice brain storming, coding, testing and sharing.

              aaaaand … my post (this one) was the real hijacking … lol

                I’m on 7.5.8 32-bit, with PythonScript 1.3.0.0…

                And now @Scott-Sumner has actually given me a valid reason to downvote him, because if he stops posting PythonScript, it will be up to me… and I just don’t have the py-knowledge to keep up for long. :-)

                  valid reason to downvote

                  First labeled a “retard”, then spanked vigorously by Don Ho in perhaps an interesting overreaction…and now downvoted by Peter… I’m super unpopular. :-(

                    don’t worry, you’re not … i’m currently googling for a specific helping hack:

                    nodebb plugin hack that downvotes from specific users triggers a double upvote
                    (alternative: hack that there are two upvote buttons left and right of the counter for specific user accounts)

                    @PeterJones

                    also don’t worry, i’m currently googling for a specific helping hack:

                    nodebb browser hack that specific users, who refuse to post scripts, are unable to close the np++ browser window ever again
                    (alternative: they can close it, but as soon as they do, the same page will pop up on their cellular phones)

                    looool ;-)

                      … says the one who has 70% higher reputation than anyone else in these forums. :-) Fortunately, downvotes can be transitory: 'Twas done as a joke, referring back to the time that the interface made it look like I had downvoted Scott. But my real downvotes are reserved for egregious behavior – posting spam in the forums, primarily – so I removed this one.

                      And yes, it does seem to have been rather rough in the forums recently: gang up on Scott this week; last week, I got so frustrated due to a certain conversation that I was within moments of deciding to not bother reading/posting here; and, I’m sure Don hasn’t had the best time, with all the problems that showed up in the transition to 7.6. Hopefully, it will mellow out again soon.

                      Anyway, I learned a lot through all the code examples and the experiments they prompted. Thanks all.

                        i think i’m afraid not.
                        there have been new complaints that, now that all plugins reside at a single, all users accessible location inside %programdata% as the active posters wished, others that were silent before want it either in a different location or the way it was in 7.6 … or the way it was in 7.5.9 … or inside of %programfiles%

                                  Thank you very much for your effort but I wasn’t asking for one,
                                  I offered a possible solution by using the pythonscript plugin
                                  but maybe @rizla-kostas, the original poster, finds this useful.

                                    I was looking at the EOL at EOF thing and I liked the scripts presented in regards to same. However, after the script is in place…what if I WANT to create a file without the final EOL, a very occasional need maybe?

                                    So I came up with this few lines of code that can be inserted into the scripts, which will prevent the script from doing anything if the Alt key is held while a save is being done.

                                    import ctypes
                                    VK_MENU = VK_ALT = 0x12
                                    if ctypes.windll.user32.GetKeyState(VK_ALT) & 0x8000: return
                                    

                                    In practice this only works when Save or SaveAll is done via toolbar button. :)

                                      I did some tests concerning the performance and memory usage about calculating whether the last line contains an eol or not.
                                      I opened a ~600MB file and run the following script

                                      from Npp import editor
                                      import time
                                      
                                      start = time.time()
                                      lastLineContainsEOL = True if len(editor.getLine(editor.getLineCount()-1)) == 0 else False
                                      end = time.time() - start
                                      print 'getLine:', end
                                      
                                      start = time.time()
                                      lastLineContainsEOL = True if editor.getText()[-1] in '\n\r' else False
                                      end = time.time() - start
                                      print 'getText:', end
                                      
                                      start = time.time()
                                      lastLineContainsEOL = True if editor.getCharacterPointer()[-1] in '\n\r' else False
                                      end = time.time() - start
                                      print 'getCharacterPointer:', end
                                      

                                      which resulted in

                                      getLine: 0.000999927520752
                                      getText: 2.94100022316
                                      getCharacterPointer: 0.641000032425
                                      

                                      then I did the same test while watching the performance monitor and saw that
                                      editor.getText()[-1] allocated an additional 600 MB whereas editor.getCharacterPointer()[-1] didn’t.

                                      So, currently it seems that len(editor.getLine(editor.getLineCount()-1)) == 0 is the fastest and best on resources
                                      whereas getCharacterPointer might be a fast way to access the buffer as long as you know what you are looking for.

                                        I have sent a private apology to @Scott-Sumner, but I thought I should also make a public apology: downvotes aren’t something to joke with (or about), and my initial response (after I had seen it bothered him) was still couched in humor (and probably not very funny, at that), when it should not have had any attempts at justification or humor. I have been sorry for my poor choices on that day since I saw his response, and I have been saddened as he has stayed away for the last two weeks. I wish I knew how to make it up to him, but saying that I’m sorry is all that I know to do.

                                        I highly respect Scott, and value his contributions to this forum. I hope he will come back and participate again.

                                          i miss you too @Scott-Sumner and i hope you read this some day.

                                          i’m sorry too for everything that happened and my failed humorous attempts to brighten up the situation.

                                          i think that don didn’t even look to whom he gave this reply at that certain moment, and i know how this must feel … like a job where a 3 year “underpaid” employee, who is also probably the biggest defender and supporter of this hypothetical company, suddenly gets a “who the hell are you” from the boss.

                                          please come back, or more important: we, specifically i as an individual would like to keep in contact, regardless of how, when or where.

                                          thanks @PeterJones for standing up.
                                          (i currently have a certain movie scene in my mind … “o captain my captain” from the movie dead poets society)
