Notepad++ v8.1 is available

JamesWebb

Hi there,

I am NP++ (Minimal Portable version) user since 2015, and use it as a simple text editor (instead of Windows Notepad).
Everything was OK till version 8 and later!

Why the latest version has lag on start! When I click on NP++ icon it starts too late (about 2 to 3 seconds), previous versions have no lag, were just like thunder! (I am on Windows 10 20H2 x64, SSD Hard, as always NP++ Minimal Portable latest version).

What your link points to isn’t what @Raheesh-Ramsy is asking about.

Short answer: You can’t. Notepad++ doesn’t handle images, only text.

BOTH: This thread is for discussion of problems with the 8.1 release of Notepad++. Please don’t ask questions or make comments unrelated to that in this thread – create a new discussion thread in that case.

@ten2120 Interesting. Do you use any custom plugins? Have you enabled the dark mode?
It would be interesting to see your debug info (Menu > ? > Debug Info)

And still no way to choose the obsolete icon. The app and file type icon is the only reason I’m sticking with 6.9.2.

And the award-winner for the dumbest reason ever to use an ancient version of a software program goes to…YOU.
Sorry, but that is really, really, really dumb.

@Alan-Kilborn The old version does everything I really NEED it to do, and I prefer to use a program that uses file-type icons that look like word documents, not some random green bullshit.

Then why come here to comment on it? Live on in your happy obsolescence. :-)

Seriously, though, aren’t there reasonable ways to get any icons you want using the OS instead of Notepad++ 's control?
If that aspect of the discussion is to be continued, respectfully request that you open a new discussion thread, as this one is sort of reserved for real 8.1 problems.

Themes are only installed to %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes of the user who installed N++. Other users never get these (no themes at all in my case, see earlier post).
From my point of view this is a concept error. Default themes should be in %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\themes and %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes supersede these. I hope this would also fit the “settings in the cloud” approach.

This issue will be fixed in the next release:

The is a regresion with the Style Token feature (under right click). For instance: write “RECONCILE” and “UNRECONCILE”. Select RECONCILE and apply a Style Token color. Before it would hightlight both RECONCILE from both words, even on UNRECONCILE (not highlighting “UN” as expected).

No regression – check your settings here:

Thanks for the Helpful Suggestions. I think I figured out why it’s doing this, but I don’t know how to fix it. The app is installed on my OS drive, which is an SSD, but it seems Notepad++ is waiting for my other drives, which are regular HDD to spin up before it launches.
