Thanks for the pic. You are evidently using the MenuIcons plugin and it seems that this plugin has a problem with the N++ v8.8.8+ new tab-label length limitation feature. You can try to report/ask for help at that plugin site:
https://github.com/francostellari/NppPlugins/issues

or disable its “*” tab marking feature in the Menu Icons Options settings (select the “No symbol” radio-button there).

If you are using one of the built-in themes, you might try to compare your %AppData%\Notepad++\themes___.xml with the version from c:\program files\Notepad++\themes,

I don’t have a custom theme; I just use whatever existing themes and modify them (just two, really). I just replaced my %AppData% theme with the “program files” themes, and the colors look okay again.

But both your margins being light gray imply that your theme was missing both those definitions when you ran 8.8.9 for the first time.

I am pretty sure that when I installed Notepad++, I just copied the old saved themes over, which is why the new styles were probably missing.

In this screenshot, I set one to Bookmark to salmon and Change History to yellow, to make it obvious which was which.

This makes it much easier to understand. Thank you!

Update: See our Change History Margin FAQ, especially the “How do I change the size” section, for an example of how to change the size using PythonScript or NppExec. (But yikes, I see that FAQ is out of date, since it doesn’t show the ability to change the four colors, which was added years ago… I will have to fix that next)

I am not that ambitious, but I am sure the update will be appreciated!

Thank you again, Peter. Not only did your post help fix the problem, but it’s also educational and shows me how dedicated people are to Notepad++.

@PeterJones

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I’ll do that.

@Terry-R This has worked perfectly. Its a very long document so this was great. Thanks again, greatly appreciated.

OK, if it’s the intended behaviour then I’ll just live with it. It’s not a very big deal.

Thank you all who answered!

Thank you for all of the information. While it might be fun to dig into the Windows APIs again, I was hoping for something simple I could run with NppExec, etc. without a lot of coding. Since it’s not a lot of extra work to move the splitter manually, I’ll live with that for now. And maybe the MarkdownPanel team will find my request worth implementing, though it’s possible it can’t be done since one side is a NPP tab and the other is a panel.

@Andrea-Gaviraghi

Yes we are seeing this in our Enterprise install testing of the MSI. We had to build a script to uninstall the executable and then install the MSI. And package the scrip & MSI in an Intune package. Seems to have solved the problem.

@Eric-Wiseman said in Bug in sorting lines, staying there for years:

Line Operations -> Sort lines works ONLY if you convert Edit -> EOL Conversion ->Unix.

Unless I am missing something this looks like a bug…

As others have already explained, this is not a bug but rather a known and documented limitation, that all line endings must be the same.

If Sort Lines In Locale Order Ascending and Descending do what you want, those sorts implemented differently and are not dependent on consistent line endings. The ending for each line will remain with the text of the line it follows.

The Locale sorts can also sort using a rectangular selection for the keys even if there are tabs or characters of differing byte widths (such as can happen with non-ASCII characters in UTF-8) to the left of the selection, which does not work with the other sorts.

@rdipardo

This still worked for me a year later, thanks!

@PeterJones this worked perfectly! Thank you very much

@Dan-Walter-0 said in Networking problem:

Before I open a ticket with my helpdesk, I want to know if there is anything I am missing on the application configuruation level.

From your N++ DebugInfo, I think not.

But could you 1st follow the instructions in my linked issue and paste here the nppLogNetworkDriveIssue.log obtained?

@PeterJones
Thanks, Peter, for the detailed instructions.
Now, Notepad++ V8.8.9 launches, as expected.

Murray

@Pierrick-ram

I think you will need to provide more information. Such as copying the “Debug Info” from your Notepad++ installation and pasting it here. It’s under the ? menu.

Terry

@Dawn-Brockman-0 You should be able to do this with a few find and replace.

You make copies in a new folders as you said you do, let’s say “D:\MoviesFolder” You can use “Find in Files” with Regex to remove all the rows that are not year/genre/stars. make sure the “Directory” is the correct directory so you don’t break files from other places, don’t know if there is undo for this operation. I never tried to run it on mkv/mp4, but I assume you already have files that look like the xml you provided and we use them.
b09b9845-a2f2-49b6-a1f5-ac76a1b6d425-image.png If you want to remove the tags, you can run another find&replace with:
Find: .<(year|genre|stars)>(.?)</\1>.*\R?
Replace: \2\n
You will now have only number and names so you will have to deduce yourself what is a year, what is a genre, and what is a star, but as long as Ryan Reynolds is not a genre yet you should be fine.

@Alan-Kilborn
Yes, you are right. Thanks for the transparency tip.
