      Done, #12541 . You can assign it to me.

      I hope you don’t mind that I combined both the N++ exit inconsistencies reported here into one issue. Otherwise let me know and I split these to two separate issues.

          Unfortunately, @Craig-O-Neil has just reported a v8.4.7 regression in “New document | Default langauge not working for new NP++ instance”. I confirmed it and created the issue #12586.

              Windows 11 has intentionally hidden that away, to steer users into a single Open With application. You can see the old-style menu by using Show More Options in the Right-click menu, or using Shift+F10 instead of Right clicking.

              …
              Or see the user manual section on the right -click for Windows 11 on this page: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/other-resources/

                  Yes, “enable smooth font” slightly changes how the font appears. this isn’t specific to v8.4.7, and is rather the point of the option.

                      Windows ShellExecute is limited in the number of characters it will accept; this was true in v8.4.6 and is still true in v8.4.7, because it’s part of the Microsoft Windows win32-api definition for maximum command length.

                      You might consider not opening so many files from the same right-click from Explorer; then you can select the second half, and unless you have done something like telling Notepad++ to always open files in multisession, it will add the files to the existing Notepad++ window. Or just open the folder as a workspace from inside Notepad++.

                          still I was able to do it in previous versions … well now I know alternative ways …
                          googled and this was the solution

                          https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/10945/shellexecute-failed-2-is-this-command-correct-fix

                          so run as admin which some settings-changes required I will only do when I need 😎

                            Some times I find that the source is badly managed by notepad++.
                            As now I know that this can happen, when I find that the program has an inadequate behavior I delete the line and I retype it.
                            Example in the attached file, tittle should be in blue like the other keywords. I had to delete the line and reenter it.
                            This problem is unfortunately not reproducible.

                              <tittle> is not an HTML tag, so it will not be styled as an HTML tag. The correct tag <title> would be properly styled.

                              f0c67ee4-6583-4f4f-9a1a-0935279d9098-image.png

                              If you want to make it more obvious that you’ve got an error in your HTML, you can go to Settings > Style Configurator > HTML > TAGUNKNOWN and change the foreground colour from black to red

                              This is not a regresion in Notepad++: it has always been like this. This is not a bug in Notepad++: it was intended to style invalid/unknown HTML tags differently than valid/known tags. This is intended behavior.

                                Thank you for your answer. You are right.

                                I didn’t know this “Style Configurator” feature which is very useful.

                                  It seems that the word “download” is not recognized in the HTML files.
                                  Is this an oversight?

                                    <DOWNLOAD> isn’t an HTML tag that I’m aware of. download might be a keyword in one of the web scripting languages (javascript, ASP, or similar), but I don’t know for sure.

                                    But it’s not a regression in v8.4.7, and that’s the focus of this topic. If you have generic Notepad++ questions that aren’t specific to breaking-changes in v8.4.7, please create a new topic in “Help Wanted”

                                      I have tried in “Help wanted” but my post is considered as spam.

                                      The context is as follows:
                                      <a href=“the URL of the file to download”
                                      download=“the name you want to give to the downloaded file”>
                                      </a>

                                        You should be able to post elsewhere… probably just too high a percentage of your post was HTML without being inside the ``` markdown (using the </> button on the toolbar) so the forum thought you were trying to build HTML to spam us.

                                        But to simply answer your question: edit %AppData%\Notepad++\langs.xml, find the <Language name="html" section. In the <Keywords name="instre1"> element (which has href in the text), put download between dl draggable (so that it’s in alphabetical order) => dl download draggable, save, and reload Notepad++.

                                        6fa2b428-8388-4390-9eae-19ea8b72595e-image.png

                                        From there on out, your copy of Notepad++ will know the download attribute for HTML files.

                                        Further discussion on this should be in a separate topic.
