      Thanks for making and maintaining this awesome software.

      I searched everywhere but couldn’t find anything.
      Does anybody know what this “save” button actually does?
      In the menu Window —> Windows —> Save button

      alt text

      Thanks!

            @Dennis64x - strange, it does for me.
            Can you post your debug info which is available from the last menu, the ? menu?

                Apart from using Windows 10, your setup is similar to mine.
                Let me check the source code to see what it does under the hood.

                  According to here it sends an WDN_NOTIF and in big switch it checks and saves the document.

                  You do have the file selected, don’t you?

                          @Ekopalypse I tried “Activate”, “Close window(s)” and “Sort tabs” buttons. They’re working fine. But in “Save” button there is no response or any file activity.

                            Can you give it a try with a fresh portable from here?
                            Just unzip it to where ever you want. Close the old instances and run the portable one.

                              @Ekopalypse It worked with fresh portable build. I was using default NPP portable it tough but I think it’s because some of 32bit or 64bit addons.

                                @Dennis64x except for the explorer plugin all others you use are standard.
                                And I assume that a 32bit plugin will not be loaded from a 64bit npp.

                                  you can try to temporarily rename your plugins directory and see if it
                                  works with the primary installation.

                                    @Ekopalypse Oh, I did what you said. You’re right, the problem is the plugin. When I changed the name of the plugin folder, the “Save” button works
                                    Thanks a lot!

                                      Now the question is which plugin is causing this. It must be explorer plugin but I use this as well. How did you install this plugin? Via plugin admin?

                                        @Ekopalypse No, I didn’t use the “Plugin Admin” because the default plugin was not available for 64bit NPP so I searched for an alternative. I found this https://github.com/oviradoi/npp-explorer-plugin, then installed manually.
