Stupid question I’m sure, but I noticed now with this release some of my config files are now encoded in UTF-8 instead of the previous Windows-1252, should I update the rest of my config/XML files to match UTF-8 or is leaving them as Windows-1252 fine? Do all I need to do is just change the header part to ( “encoding=“Windows-1252” ?>” —> "encoding=“UTF-8” ?> )?

@ImSpecial
You can keep your Windows-1252 coding. There will be no harm.

I noticed later that it was the same issue with NppSaveAsAdmin plugin as reported earlier.
That plugin was used on the second computer.
After I removed it, there was no problem.

V7.9.1 is better than V7.9.2/V.7.9.3

I found a bug which was also in 7.9.2
Open a text file, mark a column with multiple rows and press tab.
The Col: xx value isn’t updated.

I am not quite sure I understand your problem.
Can you explain with an example what you do and what you expect?

This behavior exists in all prior versions I checked (I spot checked back a few years).

Really, Ln and Col are only meaningful when NOT in column mode. To convince yourself of this, what should Ln say when you have a column mode block active and your block spans lines 3 thru 10?

I suppose Col could have a fixed value if the column block has zero-width (your case) and the carets (yes there are more than 1 in col mode) are all in the same column.

aah - it is about the statusbar and the Col field, thx for clarification.

Reverting to 7.9.1 based upon other comments found in this thread.

@David-Michael-Paxton updating: This is installed on Windows 10 Pro 20H2. Originally attempted upgrade of NPP 7.8.9. After initial failure, uninstalled and reinstalled 7.9.3 fresh, which still failed to start. Same symptoms as @László-Botka

Does that mean that you also have NppSaveAsAdmin plugin, too? If so issue #9514 is looking into it – and you can choose whether to downgrade to v7.9.1 or whether to disable that plugin until a fix is available.

If you don’t have that plugin, please let us know what plugins you do have.

Did clean install on Windows 10 1809 and it failed to start. Clean install on my 20H2 started just fine.

Unfortunately don’t currently have access to 1809 device to get logs from Event Viewer.

By the way, you can temproarily workaround the problem with NppSaveAsAsmin by installing an older version of this plugin as it was suggested here https://github.com/Hsilgos/nppsaveasadmin/issues/24#issuecomment-781994249

I recently installed NPP793 portable and attempted to install the Quicktext 021 plugin using the Plugins Admin. The install starts but then it errors out with this message
I tried manually installing it but after placing the unzipped folder (with associated files) for QT021 in the plugins folder, and following advice in the CHANGELOG notes, copied QuickText.ini to the plugins/config/ folder. It was not recognized by NPP793. Unfortunately the README notes for QT021 has conflicting information (versus CHANGELOG) about the location of the DLL and the INI. In any case following the instructions in either does not work. As far as I can tell the support for QT021 has long since disappeared.

While I can do nothing to fix 1) above, is there anything I am doing wrong in 2)? or is there a newer alternative to Quicktext 021?

You need a QuickText subdirectory.

plugins/QuickText/QuickText.dll

Cheers.

Hi all, first at all thanks for this great software I’m using from many many years.
Upgrading from 7.9.2 to 7.9.3 it breaks my dual-monitor experience:

I hope this help
