Hi,

the plugin “NppTextFx” don’t work with NPP 8.4.3 (x86) and above
I have to use NPP 8.4.2 (x86)

Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/TextFX/TextFX v0.26/

Notepad++ 8.4.2

═══════════════════════════════════════

Notepad++ 8.4.3

Ho can I resolve the problem?

Thanks

@Wawuschel

I think the real problem here is that you’re trying to use a plugin that hasn’t been updated in ages.

Notepad++ and its interface to things has evolved and can’t remain backward compatible with such outdated things.

Maybe some suggestions for you are found HERE.

what?’ I had no idea, and I love its sort function,
is it available on the alternatives?
or maybe we should stick to 8.4.2?

@Wawuschel

From your upper screenshot, it appears you want to use the “Sentence case.” feature of TextFX. Why not just use the Sentence case command that exists in Notepad++ itself?:

Who’s this “we”?
If the we is YOU, then of course, stick with a piece of software that has been abandoned by its author since 2009 and hasn’t been updated to conform with modern Notepad++ interface standards.
The rest of the Notepad++ user world…moves on.

@Alan-Kilborn it might be aged, but it’s one of the best plugins ever written for NPP.

[Aristide Vanwanzeele]

@Alan-Kilborn NPP has no alternative for each and every feature that is present in TextFX. The example you gave is only one small grain in a silo full of excellent features only present in TextFX.

that may be, but Alan’s statement still remains true, Notepad++ has changed its interface and plugins have to adapt to that. What functions are you still missing?
Have you seen the link in the FAQ regarding the TextFX2 variant?

[Wawuschel]

NppTextFX2 v1.1 Latest
Only working functions enabled in x86 and x64:

The x86 build has the largest feature set
On the x64 build all functions that need a rework (and have crashed Notepad++) are disabled for now

Hello @peterjones,

I am about to send you, by e-mail, a document summarizing most of the functions of the TextFX plugin to know your impressions.

If you think that this one (or some parts of it) could be useful to Notepad++ users, you could include it in the corresponding FAQ:

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/23166/faq-desk-how-do-i-replicate-the-features-of-textfx

Of course, you can modify it as you want, especially to make it look English !

You can add some points that I may have forgotten and/or delete some parts that you consider not essential

Have a good reading !

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. : I just realized that I forgot to do some more tests before sending you my e-mail. Sorry :-((

Hi, @peterjones,

As agreed, Peter, I have just sent you, five minutes ago, an e-mail with an attached file, relative to the TextFX plugin !

Take all the time you need to read it, there is no rush !

Best Regards
