word wrapp settings are not saved

[Anonym Inkognito]

I use the portable version of npp 7.8.0.0. After starting npp the word wrap is disabled. When i enable word wrap and restart npp word wrap is disabled again. Is there any solution to save word wrap mode setting as always enabled?

I just tried with Notepad++ v7.8

Notepad++ v7.8   (64-bit)
Build time : Oct  7 2019 - 00:55:55
Path : C:\usr\local\apps\npp-other\npp.7.8.bin.x64\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : ON
OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit) 
OS Version : 1903
OS Build : 18362.418
Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll 

When I exit with wrap enabled, config.xml contains the line

        <GUIConfig name="ScintillaPrimaryView" lineNumberMargin="show" bookMarkMargin="show" indentGuideLine="show" folderMarkStyle="box" lineWrapMethod="aligned" currentLineHilitingShow="show" scrollBeyondLastLine="no" disableAdvancedScrolling="no" wrapSymbolShow="hide" Wrap="yes" borderEdge="yes" edge="no" edgeNbColumn="80" zoom="0" zoom2="0" whiteSpaceShow="hide" eolShow="hide" borderWidth="2" smoothFont="no" />

When I exit with wrap disabled, config.xml contains the line:

        <GUIConfig name="ScintillaPrimaryView" lineNumberMargin="show" bookMarkMargin="show" indentGuideLine="show" folderMarkStyle="box" lineWrapMethod="aligned" currentLineHilitingShow="show" scrollBeyondLastLine="no" disableAdvancedScrolling="no" wrapSymbolShow="hide" Wrap="no" borderEdge="yes" edge="no" edgeNbColumn="80" zoom="0" zoom2="0" whiteSpaceShow="hide" eolShow="hide" borderWidth="2" smoothFont="no" />

Note it changes from Wrap="yes" to Wrap="no".

If you want a portable version to save settings between runs, you have to have write permission to the portable folder, including config.xml (and other such files) in that folder.

Thank you very much!

The folder was write protected, after i set the permission to folder and files it still doesnt save the setting.

The config.xml was hidden, so i set it to visible and changed the setting Wrap=“no” to Wrap=“yes”. After restart npp the word wrap was enabled.
But then, if i disabled this setting with the button and restart npp the setting was enabled again (vice versa problem).

Then i started npp one time with right click/admin rights and i noticed a change at the date from the config.xml file. From now on i can change the settings and everything worked now.

Problem solved with your help.
Thanks again :)
