Auto-completion folder's location change

[donho]

FYI, the folder location of auto-completion will be changed in v7.6.2 from <NPP_INST>\plugins\APIs\ to <NPP_INST>\autoCompletion\:

If you have any objection and you’ve got the solid arguments, please let me know.

i think you should inform first there 3p plugin Author"Julien Caillon"
because 3p plugin available in plugin admin list
for the next release 3p plugin Author"Julien Caillon" should to be submited a new link or updated .

thanks.

very good morning @donho and thanks for the many cleanups and simplifications. 👍
(much more interesting to me than any christmas preparation, like cleaning up my living room ;-) 😃 )

the new name autoCompletion is a very good idea, much more descriptive.

i’ve seen that the installer does not (yet) remove the old <NPP_INST>\plugins\APIs\ folder on update.
did you find any scenarios where it is better to keep it and to let the user decide if they want to remove it ?

also thanks for the work on integrating plugins admin into the zipped package

very much appreciated 👍
best regards, metachuh

It’ll be in the next release:

The question is: Is Notepad++ able to load autocompletion files from another location than <NPP_INST>\autoCompletion? If not, plugins will not be able to store their own autocompletion files to user’s machines. Thus this location would be wrong.
