      Uhm, I think that was the case back in the days of Npp v7.6 …

      Are you sure? I’m somehow reluctant to install npp to test.

      The plugin directory is named XML Tools

      looks like it is, if we can take the directory listing as granted

      Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\XML Tools\libs

        Yes, of course. Local installations of Notepad++ (created by installer) since v7.6.3 store plugins in

        • %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\plugins\<Plugin name> (32 bit OS)
        • %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\<Plugin name> (64 bit OS, 32 bit Npp)
        • %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\plugins\<Plugin name> (64 bit OS, 64 bit Npp)

          The plugin directory is namd XML Tools (note the space character between them) but it should be XMLTools (exactly like the plugin DLL name without the .dll extension).

          I think this was it! I actually ended up resolving the issue by disconnecting from the work VPN (I was at home) and then the Plugin Admin worked… You are right it installed the plugin in :
          %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\XMLTools\ [NO SPACE] (64 bit OS, 32 bit Npp)

          It would be nice if NPP Plugin Admin would notify the user when it fails to connect to the plugin repository.

          Hopefully this would help others trying to install the plugin manually.

          Thanks for the help!

            Yes, you are right. Unfortunately proper error handling of PluginsAdmin and WinGup (the actual updater application) has not been in the scope of @donho yet.

              Hi,
              I also have XMLTools folder under plugin Folder
              %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\XMLTools\

              Content :
              change.log
              libiconv-2.dll
              libwinpthread-1.dll
              libxml2-2.dll
              libxslt-1.dll
              XMLTooIs.dIl
              zlib1.dll

              When I start NPP I see “XML Tools” under Plugins but behind i got entry “How to install”
              *
              *XML Tools
              Unable to load IibXML and/or IibXSLT.

              Please install extern DLLs into NPP root directory
              (same directory than Notepad++.exe) or in
              ‘%appdata%\Notepad++’ folder and restart NPP.

              These libraries are available in the sublolder
              “ext_libs” of xmltools zip archive.*
              *
              I put the dlls also on %appdata%\Notepad++ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++
              Can someone help me please!

                If you use Notepad++ v7.5.9 or older, all the companion DLL files have to be stored under %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++.

                If you use Notepad++ v7.6.3 or newer, all the companion DLL files have to be stored under %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\XMLTools\libs.

                  Running Notepad++ v7.7.1 (64-bit) I used the plugin manager to download the Xml Tools and the full menu comes up but the Tag auto-close fails to work. I have tried numerous of the ‘fixes’ to no avail.

                    looks like it suffers from the same issues other 64bit plugins do, namely, using
                    the outdated notification structure.
                    Fastest workaround, use a 32bit npp together with xml tools.
                    (Portable aka zipped version can run together with an installed version)
                    Report an issue here.

                      thanks @Gabriel-Poulin for reporting back.
                      we’re glad to hear that you got it running with a manual install. 👍

                      It could be because I am on a corp latop behind a corp firewall too?

                      o.m.g… yes, i am so sorry, this time i completely forgot to ask if you are behind a corporate proxy or firewall. 😳 my sincere apologies.

                      if you are behind a proxy, you can set it at the notepad++ menu ? > set updater proxy as seen at the screenshot below, as long as you know the proxy server address and port.

                      note: usually you can find the proxy settings at the connection settings of your browser.

                      Imgur

                      enter your company’s proxy server ip address and port number here as seen at the next screenshot.
                      (note: do not use the example ip and port, they will not work, except if your company uses the same values by coincidence)

                      Imgur

                      note: currently notepad++ does not support proxy authentication (user name and password), so it will not work, if your corporate proxy/firewall needs user credentials.

                      " if you are behind a proxy, you can set it at the notepad++ menu ? > set updater proxy as seen at the screenshot below, as long as you know the proxy server address and port."

                      I never would have noticed the ? menu… it was staring me right in the face. BAM now I can install stuff over the proxy. +1 from the graveyard of a year old post.

                        An important addition to your information is that you’d want to do this (adjust Proxy Settings) while running Notepad++ in Administrator mode.

                          I think this Community web site is still somewhat buggy. The posting of mine immediately above has been upvoted by @Meta-Chuh roughly 5 minutes ago, but the member page shows that he hasn’t been logged on for many months (and we miss you Meta!):

                            @Alan-Kilborn thanks, miss you too guys.

                            just want you to know that my absence has nothing to do with the project or any people involved, but is purely health and personal changes related, but it’s nothing life threatening.
                            still can’t tell when i will be back, but i’ll try to stop by every now and then.

                            ps: the bbs works as expected, i’ve just updated my logon status now 😉
                            (if a user is set to invisible, the online status will not change, but only show the last date he was set to online or anything else)

                            big hug to everyone and hopefully until soon.

                              There are of course more important things than hanging around
                              in a support forum, such as health.
                              Get well soon and see you soon, hopefully. :)

                                  Hi, notepad++ appears to be very slow during typing in (pretty large) text-files. I am used to have some logfiles where I write my daily tasks, comments, etc. This logfile can grow, e.g. 6000 lines, 2KB filesize).
                                  In previous versions of notepad++ I did not experience this problem. In very small files this problem does not appear. However, in my opinion, a file of 2KB is still not very large …

                                  The performance issue appears to be due to the plugins. After removing and reinstalling the plugings, the slowness reappears after installing the XmlTools plugin (version 3.0.3.3).

                                    This is a known issue and fixed.

                                    Note, you’ll need to install the latest version manually instead of with Plugin Admin.

                                    Cheers.
