Notepad++ v8.2 Release

Andrea Ferollo

Since dark mode was introduced, there is a setting in the config.xml file at <NotepadPlus> -> <GUIConfigs> -> stylerTheme that has the path for the DarkModeDefault.xml file.
This parameter has the full path for the file, but in a portable installation it makes no sense (it is not portable this way).

This is a know bug since a long time and I hope it will be fixed sometime.
Also if you have a session where all open files are saved in the backup folder of the N++ installation, the path is absolute.

We know - new default - ugh. Change with:

Settings => Preferences…

New install or update? We were promised this would not happen to existing installs.

@graham-norris ,
As far as I know it hasn’t been. Mine wasn’t set before the update, when I updated through the update system, it wasn’t changed, and I had to turn it on myself. Of course, I haven’t updated to the 8.2 because it’s not released for GUP to update it yet, so.

Bug v8.1.x don’t find new version: No update is available

No bug. Finding the update this way has to be enabled by the N++ author, when he decides that such an update is “ready”. Apparently he hasn’t decided that yet.

@alan-kilborn hm-m… this release available on Download page. I thought this stuff generates automatically base on github releases.

@wintersilence
Nope, that’s where folks who might want to test it, can download the latest and greatest from, but when it’s out of “quarantine” by the author, it will signal the application to generate an update at the application that is checked, I believe it’s every 15 days(?) and then the application can dowload the update.

FYI:
Due to a quite critical regression of v8.2, the auto-updater will not be trigger by this release.
The regression has been fixed in v8.2.1.

@donho ,
Thank you, I stand corrected. :)
