      I want to add quick color picker plugin to npp.For this i tried all steps i see on google to do it.I downloaded npp color picker plugin from [sourceforge.com](link url)(a dll extension file),then i copy this file to *C:\program files(86)\Notepad++\plugins\color picker.dll

      Then i open npp ,click on plugins but nothing appears.I restarted app nothing happens.
      Then i click on settings in npp app ,click on import>import plugin(s) and guess what, nothing happens again.
      So can anyone tell me detailed step i should follow to get a color picker from downloading the plugin to importing it?

        depends which version of npp you are running.
        Please post your debug-info from ? menu, the last menu item.

          @Dron said in Adding color picker plugin:

          What are the dates on the steps?
          Probably a bit ago.

          Notepad++ has changed.
          You now need to put a plugin in a folder with its same name:
          e.g.
          ...\plugins\XXX\XXX.dll

          Or better yet, use Plugins Admin
          NOT Plugin Manager as you are likely to see in dated internet posts.
