Notepad++ v8 Release Candidate 2
-
Something is a bit wacky with the way controls are shown when they get enabled and disabled in the searching windows, for Dark mode.
Here’s an example from a fresh portable 8.0 RC2 extract, with Dark Mode turned on:
- Close Notepad++ with Regular expression search mode in effect; restart; press Ctrl+f; observe:
Note: Backward direction and Match whole word only appear like they are enabled (they aren’t enabled), but they shouldn’t be appear like they are.
- From there change the search mode to Normal; observe:
Note: Backward direction and Match whole word only are now enabled but they appear definitely too dark even for Dark Mode.
- From there change the search mode to Regular expression; observe:
Note: Backward direction and Match whole word only are now disabled and color shade is probably okay, but now . matches newline is enabled but really too dark in appearance.
Hopefully this isn’t another one of those “Only for you, Alan” types of issues…

@donho
RC2 is ok, no more crashing on Win 8.1. -
@Alan-Kilborn sounds like some situations with the custom drawing are not being handled. I’ll check this out this weekend; thanks for the detailed info.

@donho I have some time this weekend to work on things; it’s memorial day weekend in the states so I have an extra day. If there is anything you would need me to check out or work on please let me know.

I’m not really into toolbar buttons, but I have two that are indispensable because they are tied to a plugin’s (PythonScript’s) functionality.
I notice today that my two buttons are missing in 8.0 RC2 (screenshot below), and all my other plugin toolbar buttons (which I don’t use so I don’t really pay attention to) are missing as well. Only the default Notepad++ toolbar buttons seem to remain:
Does anyone have ideas for me on how to get my toolbar buttons back? :-(

Small discussion on this in the RC1 thread. On my phone so not linking it right now sorry. I use customized toolbar plugin and noticed all my other Plug in buttons were missing as well. Fluent UI icons don’t have plug-in toolbar buttons. The solution is to just use the regular icon set for now. Plug in authors will need to update their plugins to include fluent UI icons.
Cheers.

So this isn’t much of a bug report (sorry!) but I noticed it:
I did a Find All in Current Document for the text
filled(“normal” search, no checkboxes checked on Find tab). I received a report of no hits (red dot below in screenshot). But I really suspected this text existed. (At this point I should have tried a Find Next but I did not do that)I thought “strange” so I did a Find in Files in the folder tree where my original file was in the top directory (green dot below). Many hits, and the file I originally searched was listed.
Again I thought “strange” so I activated that original file and repeated the Find All in Current Document search. And this time I achieved a different result: 1 hit (blue dot below).
In between searches I changed nothing in the search setup or otherwise.

Ah, ok.
I’ve changed back and my buttons returned. Whew!
But I do find it a bit disturbing that I have been using 8.0 RC* for a number of days now and never noticed that these 2 toolbar buttons that I use ALL THE TIME were missing. :-)
Thank you for the assist.
Changing over to those new icons was a good visual reminder for me that I was for sure running 8.0, so I’m sad to change back and see them no longer. :-( -

Please report this issue on Notepad++ Github page if you can reproduce it steadily. I (or other contributors) will fix it.

@donho said in Notepad++ v8 Release Candidate 2:
ARM64 build is available
Does this mean we may get native Notepad++ on the new M1 Macs? 🥺
-
only if Windows OS is installed on the M1 (not sure if this is even possible).
Or some software like Wine for Linux. -
@Ekopalypse oh man :(
I’d really hoped since M1 processors run on ARM architecture maybe we were finally about to get a native Notepad++ for MacOS. Oh well! -

To be honest, I don’t think this will ever happen, since npp is programmed using Windows API functions, hence the need for it. If you want to change this, npp would have to be reprogrammed from scratch and that would be a huge effort. -
There might be an issue with the new checkbox for “Append extension” in the SaveAs dialog. For details see the discussion with this posting: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/66533
-
I brought it up in the original “Append extension” PR #9732 – Scott and @mere-human have both confirmed it as well, and @mere-human is working on fixing it. (Based on their experiments, ENTER vs Alt+S/clicking-on-SAVE button have different results, which is obviously a bug.)
