Thank you all. Have a great and happy new year!

@donho and all

One question regarding fix #2 “Make installer override all the function list files on the installation”: When I look at the related commit it seems like the file overrideMap.xml will be overwritten as well when Notepad++ is updated. This would destroy user customizations of this file. IMO this should be avoided. What do you think?

@dinkumoil

User should override %PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\functionList\overrideMap.xml by using %APPDATA%\Notepad++\functionList\overrideMap.xml, but well, it’s done:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/a68805b7ff27717a367d19eb7ec9d1107c8dd81b

The behaviour will come with v7.9.2 official release.
