@xomx said in Notepad++ 8.8.8: 2 issues detected:

or the 3rd option - as I said, create new MenuIcons plugin GitHub issue and its author most likely fixes it and publishes a new compatible version

Oh yes, of course, sorry. The third option is to create a GitHub issue which I’ve done. Here’s the link if anyone else should mention experiencing similar behaviour:

@PeterJones

Thank you.

Thank you for your explanation! I’m glad I wasn’t alone with this problem. It’s very well written and easy for me to understand. Thank you!

@PeterJones

But what if I want (need) to run in “Admin Mode” ??? Is Notepad++ unable to run in “Admin Mode” and still save Style Configurations? That seems silly.

Security experts would tell you that constantly running any app in admin/root mode is a lot worse than silly.

And since Notepad++ v8.6.6, there is no reason to run Notepad++ in Admin mode to edit/save UAC-protected files, because Notepad++ can ask for UAC Elevation for the individual save actions . So the only activity that you might still need to run Notepad++ in Admin mode for is when installing a new plugin, and you don’t need to be constantly running in Admin mode for that. That is: you most likely don’t “need” to run in Admin mode anymore.

That said, the reason why Notepad++ often has problem with Admin mode and settings is because of cross-contamination of permissions: running an app in Elevated privileges makes WINDOWS treat that app differently. It may be that with your current setup, the Elevated/Admin-mode won’t allow writing to AppData (since that’s a per-user, and for some system configurations, WINDOWS won’t allow admin to write to %AppData%). Or it might be that because you often ran N++ as Admin that the AppData-based settings might have been created/saved with Admin-privileges, so when you run N++ as normal user it cannot read or save the settings. Without being able to look at your file permissions for you, I cannot say exactly what caused it – you would need to verify where Notepad++ is trying to do the settings, and look at the directory and the stylers.xml in that directory, looking at Windows’ SECURITY settings for both; and then maybe try running experiments to see whether changing a setting/style-configurator in Notepad++ is saved when you exit Notepad++ when running normally and/or when running as Admin.

@networkproblemsolver
Your images show you seem to be running NPP as administrator. That could be the source of your problem.

Read this thread, there might be the solution.

Updated linter++ to v1.0.2

This has mostly been concerned with changes to the dockable window with the results:

There’ve also been a few other minor improvements/fixes - see the Changes.md file

Downloadable from https://github.com/ThosRTanner/notepad-pp-linter/releases if you can’t wait for the plugin list to be updated.

@xomx After restarting our Samba instance, the issues appear to be resolved. Apologies for the false alarm, but thank you for the responses!

I have noticed going from the executable to the MSI, when installing from Intune, that remnents of the old version get left behind. 2025-12-18_12-23-57.png

Also, when we deployed 8.8.8 and the program updates to 8.8.9 that it doesn’t clean up and you see two versions.2025-12-18_12-06-12.png

These are registry entries which should have been cleaned up in both events. I probably should have stuck with the original executable. 😕

@Wolfgang-Grafeneder ,

Read Find Text Copied From Excel Cell and the issue(s) it links to, as there was an entire recent discussion on this.

@Terry-R
Thanks for letting me know.

@Terry-R This is very helpful and I was unaware of that issue. Thank you. Based on dates, it looks like I was using 8.8.5. It seems likely, especially the description of removing the structure around the installation.

Hello @offshore9521 and All,

Humm…, @offshore9521, there are two separate problems with your regex !

From your INPUT text :

Your regex (?<![\.\!\?])\r\n([a-z]) means :

If a \r\n sequence, followed with a letter (a through z), is not preceded by :

A dot

An exclamation mark

An interrogation mark

Then rewrite this letter

BTW, you can shorter this regex as (?<![.!?])\r\n([a-z])

But, the ’ character is not a character of the [.!?] list. Thus, this explains why your regex merges the lines 1 and 2

Now, I suppose that your true goal was : if a line is not a true sentence, then merge that line with the next one with a space character ? This lead to the following regex S/R :

FIND (?<![.!?’])\r\n(?=\w)

REPLACE \x20

So, any \r\n sequence, which respects the before and after conditions, is simply replaced with a space character

Notes :

As you see, I included the ’ character within the list of the forbidden chars, in the negative look-behind

I used \w, which is identical to the [\u\l\d_] class character, instead of [a-z] to not bother about case !

Remark :

FIND (?<![.!?’\r\n])\R(?=\w)

REPLACE \x20

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. : As an exercice, try to understand why the following regex S/R does not work as expected :

FIND (?<![.!?’])\R(?=\w)

REPLACE \x20

To help you, don’t forget to click on the ¶ icon of the Toolbar !

Hi @Clicketyclick,
I’ve updated DoxyIt and tested it on my x64 machine.
Please give it a try: https://github.com/AN-2101/DoxyIt/releases/tag/v0.4.5

@prof-tech said in Can't get the old toolbar:

Help! I have tried everything to get the old toolbar and it doesn’t appear! can anyone help me?

Settings > Prefernces > Toolbar: the “Fluent UI” variants are the “new toolbar” and “standard icons: small” are the “old toolbar” (and the “Hide” checkbox turns it on and off)

@Alan-Kilborn said in 'Find in Files' doesn't appear to work:

If a folder doesn’t exist, I think when the search is initiated, input focus will immediately jump to the Directory: box, signaling a problem with that folder to the user (without a message box). Not on a PC right now, so can’t verify; going from memory.

I see you are correct. However… I also see that the search results show 0 files searched. So I don’t see how it could be a problem with what is in the Find box. The directory might exist, but not be the one OP meant to search.
