Notepad++ v8.2.2 Release Candidate 4

donho

Sorry for making you test again due to my errors.
Here’s Notepad++ v8.2.2 Release Candidate 4 (it’s the last one, hopefully):
http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/8.x/8.2.2.RC4/

Notepad++ v8.2.2 RC4 fixed 2 logic errors (bad copy-paste) from Notepad++ v8.2.2 RC3. Here are the whole regression-fixed & enhancement histories:

Fix 2 logic errors.
Fix crash on opening file with wild card characters. (Fix #11098)
Fix crash regression in UDL dialog. (Fix #11101)
Improve 200MB+ files loading/editing performance. (ref: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/774321e0997e9561482124cd66007cee3c224758)
Fix unsaved untitled files not being opened on the next session regression (Fix 11080)

The loading of large files (200MB) disables automatically the following feature:

Syntax highlighting (large files are loaded as normal files, users can apply the proper syntax highlighting manually)
auto-completion (only for large files)
snapshot period backup (only for large files)
backup on save (only for large files)
word wrap (persistent for all files. Need to re-enable it manually)

Due to the editing/browsing large files performance issue, the following feature are disabled for the large files (200MB) :

braces match highlighting
smart highlighting
XML/HTML tags match highlighting
clickable link generation

Thank you very much for your help!

YES :-D and the load time has been further improved.
Now my test file loads and saves 2.2GB in ~8 seconds on a Windows 7 x64, i5-2500 with 16GB DDR3 and SSD drive.

Using a lexer in such a case is … let’s say questionable, but users do what they do :-)

I checked all plugins for crashes when starting Notepad++. The problem is only with DSpellCheck_1.4.22 in 64bit Notepad++, but it has already been reported:
