      Why do you say that?

      I think (but I may be wrong) notepad++ doesn’t install any plugins in AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins anymore. So those folder must be created manually.

        It doesn’t install any plugins in that folder. But %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\ is still where plugins configuration files go… And for PythonScript, %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\ is still the location for user scripts, and even if %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\ doesn’t exist yet.

        On my machine where I normally don’t use the AppData (so I don’t have a Notepad++ in the %AppData% hierarchy), I just unzipped a fresh portable, then removed doLocalConf.xml, so that the portable will use %AppData%. I installed PythonScript, and ran Plugins > Python Script > New Script: it defaulted to %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\ … and it did create that folder for me when I saved the new script. (And portable without doLocalConf.xml is the same as a normal installation, as far as using the AppData folder is concerned.)

          you have to select a script (in user scripts or machine scripts), then the add button become available

          I cannot select a script (in user scripts or machine scripts), because both fields are empty

            To assign a shortcut, the script must be available in this yellow highlighted area.

            On my PC no scripts are available in this yellow highlighted area nor in the user scripts or machine scripts area.

              The user-scripts area will be empty if you haven’t created any user scripts, so that’s natural. But the machine scripts will only be empty if you had a bad installation of PythonScript, or if you intentionally deleted all the example scripts. But if you can see the sample scripts in the Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > Samples submenu, then they weren’t deleted.

              Since sometimes animation helps users see something that simple screenshots do not:

                How can I uninstall a bad installation of PythonScript?

                  How did you install it in the first place?
                  If you used the msi package, remove it via the Windows function for removing programmes. Otherwise, do it via the plugin admin of Npp.

                    @ekopalypse Thank you, now it works. But a new Script (\plugins\PythonScript\scripts\aa.py) appears in the machine scripts area, not in the user scripts area.

                      How did you create this new script?
                      Via the plugin menu new script?
                      If so, an save dialog should have opened asking you to save the file. Where did it point to?

                          hmmm … strange, it should point to D:\N++\plugins\config\PythonScript\scripts instead.
                          Could be related to Explorer caching, but not quite sure.

                              I often prove out scripts I’m about to post by using a “clean” portable N++/PS setup. It makes me crazy that this new setup somehow knows my daily-use directory structure and defaults to this when I am trying to create/save a script. I often make the mistake of saving in my daily-use hierarchy, something I definitely don’t want to be doing.

                                  3.x is a pre-release version, if you want it you have to do special things to install it (go to the PS website and manually get it and manually install it).

                                  Installing via Plugins Admin will get you 1.5.4.

                                    Eko’s example may be that way. But the animation I showed was using PythonScript version 1.5.4, and it worked the way I intended.

                                    I think why you (and Alan) have problems with Windows remembering the “wrong” scripts directory is because (if I understand correctly), some of Windows’ “memory” in the registry for last-opened-folder in the FileOpen or similar windows is based on the name of the application (so in this case notepad++.exe), rather than on the full path to the application (c:\program files\notepad++\notepad++.exe vs x:\some\portable\path\notepad++.exe for a portable), so Windows may only keep one recently-opened-folder setting for both notepad++.exe. (But that’s a piecemeal memory, nothing with hard data to support that conclusion.) Any time you bring Windows OS into the mix, a new level of confusion arises. ;-)

                                      OK… but I’d think that the PythonScript plugin itself should always open its ...\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\ folder as a default, at least from the very first opening.

                                      Don’t turn this over to Windows, if that’s truly what is happening.

                                      Again, IMO.

                                          True enough, but only people that write exclusively PythonScripts would want that setting set that way. Not useful to do this, generally.

                                            But maybe doing that eases my pain in my script-testing copy of N++ (and maybe that was your point; if so I missed it at first).
