      For me, Notepad ++ crashes a lot because of the Location Navigate plugin

        Yes, I’ve heard of this. Obviously I’m in the camp where it doesn’t crash. Maybe it works for 50% of people? I don’t know; no real data.

        It’s sort of like the Hex Editor plugin; works for some (50%?). For me, Hex Editor crashes.

        But I’d rather have Location Navigate than Hex Editor (I can obtain a hex editor outside of Notepad++). But someday, perhaps, LN’s change marks will be an integral feature of Scintilla and will work for everyone. The other features of LN, indeed its primary features, aren’t really Scintilla-related, but are more Notepad++ -related, so there would actually be some substantial N++ code work to be done to support that.

        Note: I’m just random rambling…

          Good ideas though. Hex Editor works fine for me the few times I actually use it, but like you said, I too would rather have LocationNavigate working (x64 too by the way) than Hex Editor.

          I looked at Location Navigate code and was trying to port it to x64 and it loads fine for me and does the changes but when I save it crashes. Even with the original on 32-bit, it seems to run fine and do everything as advertised, but when I close N++, I get a Windows error popup saying the application crashed. Disabling Location Navigate plugin fixes the error.

          I created a little NppExec script show how Location Navigate does its markings:

          NPP_CONSOLE keep
SET LOCAL MARKTYPE = change

IF "$(ARGC)"=="0" THEN
    INPUTBOX "Choice of:  change, save, clear" : "Choice" :
    IF "{$(INPUT)}"=="{}" GOTO END
    ENDIF
    SET LOCAL MARKTYPE = $(INPUT)
ENDIF
IF "$(ARGC)">="2" THEN
    SET LOCAL MARKTYPE = $(ARGV[1])
ENDIF

SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINTYPEN 4 SC_MARGIN_SYMBOL
//SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINTYPEN 10 SC_MARGIN_SYMBOL
//SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINTYPEN 11 SC_MARGIN_SYMBOL
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINWIDTHN 4 4
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINMASKN 4 3072

SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERSETFORE 10 8831743
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERSETFORE 11 11927477
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERSETBACK 10 8831743
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERSETBACK 11 11927477
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDEFINE 10 SC_MARK_FULLRECT
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDEFINE 11 SC_MARK_FULLRECT

IF "$(MARKTYPE)"~="change" THEN
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDELETE $(CURRENT_LINE) 11
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERADD $(CURRENT_LINE) 10
ELSE IF "$(MARKTYPE)"~="save" THEN
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDELETE $(CURRENT_LINE) 10
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERADD $(CURRENT_LINE) 11
ELSE IF "$(MARKTYPE)"~="clear" THEN
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDELETE $(CURRENT_LINE) 10
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDELETE $(CURRENT_LINE) 11
ELSE IF "$(MARKTYPE)"~="off" THEN
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDELETE $(CURRENT_LINE) 10
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_MARKERDELETE $(CURRENT_LINE) 11
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINTYPEN 4 0
    SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETMARGINWIDTHN 4 0
ENDIF

:END

          Of course this only demonstrates manually, it doesn’t actually track changes the way the Location Navigate plugin does automatically.

          Cheers.

            I like what you’re trying to do! I presume you’ve run under the debugger, set some “strategic” (i.e., guesses at where to locate) breakpoints, and single-stepped to maybe isolate the cause of the crash?

            Location Navigate and Explorer plugins might be the only things keeping me in N++ 32-bit land.

              I have not run in debugger - I’m not that talented a C++ programmer. If you are and want to look:
              https://github.com/vinsworldcom/nppLocationNavigate

              For Explorer on N++ 64-bit, I use:
              https://github.com/funap/npp-explorer-plugin

              I like it better than the one in Plugin Admin:
              https://github.com/oviradoi/npp-explorer-plugin

                  They need to be fixed. That’s all 32-bit fine but 64-bit broke as I understand it.

                    I meant to reply with this much earlier in the chain, for those that might not know the capability Location Navigate supplies as far as marking changed lines goes:

                      @Ekopalypse Not at all. My point was that I found the highlighting of the text too distracting. However thanks to you and @Alan-Kilborn posting those pictures I found the options menu I hadn’t seen before. Wow! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Actually, it’s even better. I’ve been using notepad++ for 9 years and this plug-in will save me hundreds of hours of trouble-shooting.

                      Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. It’s really fantastic how helpful everyone is in this forum.
