@guy038 said: I noticed a bug regarding the default style which is wrongly changed why you simply left clicking on any option Then, I right click in the search zone of Search++ and chose again the bla word. Now, the first command used changes the default setting ! Thank you for noting this. I can reproduce it. Any right-click in a Find or Replace box causes the next click on a search command drop-down or the Tools menu to behave as if it were a right-click. I will figure out why that is happening and fix it. If I understood you correctly, when the Bookmark lines when marking text option is unchecked, Search++ ignore totally the Bookmark feature. Thus, it just up to you to add / remove MANUAL bookmarks to some lines, if needed ! Right. The one exception is Synchronize bookmarks to marked text, which works whether Bookmark lines when marking text is checked or unchecked. My intent is that people who don’t typically want Search++ disturbing their bookmarks can still use Synchronize bookmarks to marked text after a Mark command, rather than having to change a setting before the Mark, which they would then have to remember to change back. However, I think the lack of an option to add bookmarks but not remove any might limit its usefulness, so I might change it in one way or another. It honors the every line / first line policy, so perhaps it should honor add/synchronize too, but then it would no longer be always a synchronize, and it would do nothing if the Tools option were “Do not add or remove bookmarks”… There’s definitely a design flaw here. Now, basically, a Mark command : Case 1 : can mark text Case 2 : can mark text and bookmark lines Case 3 : can un-mark text Case 4 : can un-mark and un-bookmark lines Thus, I suggest this new dialog : Search++: Configure bookmarks ☑ Bookmark lines when marking text. Bookmark policy ◉ Bookmark every line containing marked text. ○ Bookmark only the first line of each match or selection. Tools menu ☑ When a Mark command adds existing marks to text, also add bookmarks. ☑ When a Mark command removes existing marks from text, also remove bookmarks. Invert option policy ○ Invert the marked text and bookmark the concerned lines ◉ Invert the bookmarked lines and mark the concerned lines [OK] [Cancel] What is your feeling about it ? The existing When a Mark command removes existing marks from text, also remove bookmarks check box applies to Mark commands when Always unmark all text before Mark command. (Otherwise add to existing marked text.) in the Settings dialog is checked. That’s the only time a Mark command ever removes marks from text. It’s possible this shouldn’t even be an option (operating as if it were always checked) since Bookmark lines when marking text must also be checked, but I thought there might be the occasional person who would want to uncheck it. The choice under Mark tools applies to commands from the Tools menu (except Synchronize bookmarks to marked text) and has nothing to do with Mark commands. My wording needs more clarity; or possibly the problem is that the selection of available choices doesn’t make sense, and that’s why it’s hard to convey. Regarding the proposed Invert the bookmarked lines and mark the concerned lines: the command would clear all marks from text, invert the bookmarks, then mark every character in every line that was bookmarked? Does that include or exclude line endings? What does it do if Bookmark only the first line of each match or selection is in effect? I’m really tight on available menu mnemonics (the underlined letters) and memorable shortcut keys on the Tools menu, to the point where adding much more will mean I either have to remove something or use sub-menus (with limited shortcut possibilities): but this sounds more like it should be a separate command than a setting that changes how Invert marked text works. In that case, though, since Inverse Bookmarks is already a Notepad++ command, I wonder if something else (like Mark or Select all text in bookmarked lines) would be more versatile? I shudder to invent yet another conditional search, but maybe Find All / Select / Mark / Show in Bookmarked lines is what is really wanted here. (And then that leads to wanting to bookmark lines containing a match without bothering with marking the text…) I will take ideas from your dialog, but it doesn’t quite represent the options that are available now. Invert and the implications thereof I am still thinking about. Why not make the entire menu, under an unchecked Bookmark lines when marked text option, gray, in this new dialog ? Putting it at the top and disabling the options when it is not checked would help clarify the relationship between it and the other settings, but there is one problem: the “Bookmark policy” (”every line” or ”only the first line”) applies to Synchronize bookmarks to marked text, which works even if Bookmark lines when marking text is not checked. (Again, this could represent a design flaw.)

XBrackets Lite v2.0.4 Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! improved: a manually typed closing bracket steps over an auto-completed one, even after typing text inside the pair. For example, typing ( automatically inserts ), producing (|), where | indicates the caret position. Typing abc places the characters inside the pair, resulting in (abc|). Typing the final ) then steps over the existing ), resulting in (abc)| instead of adding a duplicate closing bracket (abc)). changed: while searching for “XBrackets.txt”, the plugin first checks the “plugins\XBrackets” folder, and only then checks the “plugins\doc” folder. a few internal corrections. https://github.com/d0vgan/npp-XBracketsLite/releases/tag/XBrackets_v204

Thanks a lot @guy038 for running the whole thing again, this time it didn’t finish in seconds ;-) Nice to see the results panel still usable with almost 10 million hits, even the jump to line 690 in that DLL at the very end. Interesting that walking the whole drive for those 130 PDFs takes almost the entire run, 5m45 of 5m48 for MultiReplace, and it’s the same picture with the other tools. The 4 “not decodable” are most likely UTF-16 files with an odd number of bytes. N++ simply drops the last byte there, the next MultiReplace build will do the same in Find in Files (Replace leaves them alone, writing them back would lose that byte). Speed is next on my list.

@Timothy-Baxendale Need care not to interact with the buttons that do multiple documents. A not so ideal solution as it is external could be to use an AutoIt script to monitor and disable these buttons. ; Window title and text of the button. Global $aWnd[2][2] = [['Find', 'Find All in All &Opened Documents'], _ ['Replace', 'Replace All in All Opened Doc&uments']] ; Keep looping as persistant disabling of the buttons is needed. While 1 While ProcessExists('notepad++.exe') For $i1 = 0 To UBound($aWnd) - 1 $hWnd = WinActive($aWnd[$i1][0], $aWnd[$i1][1]) If $hWnd Then If ControlCommand($hWnd, '', $aWnd[$i1][1], 'IsEnabled') Then ControlDisable($hWnd, '', $aWnd[$i1][1]) ExitLoop EndIf EndIf Next Sleep(500) WEnd Sleep(1000) WEnd The window title text and button text needs to accurate. This text is based on the default English locale. The loops will continue running. If need to pause and use the buttons, then the icon in the System Tray will pause the script on click. Click Script Paused to uncheck the item to continue with disabling the buttons. Click Exit to end the script. The AutoIt interpreter and compiler are located: https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/

@docpomus , I am sorry no one replied yet. Usually when that happens, it means that either gup.exe or nppPluginList.dll (in subdirectories of your Notepad++ installation folder) still have the “mark of the web”. To check (and clear) the “mark of the web”, exit Notepad++; right click on the exe or dll file; select Properties; in the General properties tab, if there is a message at the bottom with “unblock”, checkmark that checkbox, and click OK. Do that for either/both files. After that, the plugins should be able to update from Plugins Admin again.

@Adam-Narkiewicz , (sorry for the slow reply: when I first read your post, I was in the middle of something, and couldn’t go looking for the issues, so I hoped that someone else would reply with similar information. Since no one has, I am doing it now.) Honestly, I believe the bug is in step 5: it shouldn’t do that “check for underlying file existence” when you tell it to Close All (or when just closing one file, as in Issue #11866; or when you tell it to reload a file, as in Issue #18718). The developer tried (per this comment) to find a way around this, but hasn’t found a viable solution yet. After asking whether to keep a file in the editor, Notepad++ closes it no matter what my answer is. For me, since you already said “close all”, I don’t see a problem in Notepad++ closing it. I am not convinced it should’ve asked in the first place. Fortunately, if there are unsaved changes – so if you’ve edited the file, so there are unsaved changes to the file that doesn’t exist anymore – it will interrupt the process and ask you to save it, and when it fails, it stops the process (not the best solution, but better than losing data). So this oddity at least won’t let you lose unsaved changes accidentally when doing Close All for files that have disappeared. So that’s something. asks me whether to keep some deleted files open, but not all That does seem problematic, to me. I guess after doing the single check, it finally believes your request to Close All meant to Close All. In conclusion: Since Issue #11866 exists for the single file-close, I don’t think this needs a separate official issue. I’m glad it’s “not particularly annoying” to you, because it could be a long time (if ever) before a solution can be found.

I said: In case anyone else is interested, you can try previewing plain-text wireloom files with this development build of Preview HTML. This feature has now been merged, with additional support for offline Markdown previews that will render wireloom code blocks: [image: 1790348955006-wireloomx898.gif] All rendering is done by client-side JavaScript modules, so MS Edge is still required. @Keith-Collyer said: What would be really good would be if the developers of these re-merged their plugins! Don’t look now, but no fewer than three new Markdown plugins have appeared in the past two weeks — and they all depend on the WebView2 runtime (i.e. Edge).

@peterjones Installed Notepad++ v8.9.8.1, and this problem went away [image: 1790343129511-%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%B7%D1%8B%D0%BC%D1%8F%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9.png] p.s. And I don’t need to unblock files received from the Internet, because after a clean install of any Windows, I will block this option through the registry.

@Vitalii-Dovgan , I don’t think the Plugins Admin will be able to do all of that on its own. The DLL needs to be at the top level of the zipfile. What you could do is to have your plugin intialization look for the autoCompletion and userDefineLangs files in the appropriate locations (use NPPM_GETNPPSETTINGSDIRPATH to make sure you put the UDL in the right per-user place, regardless of doLocalConf, -settingsDir, CloudDirectory, or normal AppData; autoCompletion always goes relative to NPPM_GETNPPDIRECTORY – and for any that are missing, copy from ...\plugins\SmartMath\ subfolder(s) into the right destinations. A possible zipfile structure could be: SmartMath.dll doc\ SmartMath.md autoCompletion\ SmartMath.xml userDefineLangs\ SmartMath.udl.xml SmartMath_Dark.udl.xml That would all get placed in ...\plugins\SmartMath\ Because autoCompletion definitions are in the program directory hierarchy, there may be a permission issue, so you’d have to request elevated permission to do that copy; examples of how I did that can be found in my ConfigUpdater plugin. (The plugin itself is not so useful, since I moved that feature to N++ itself, but some of the code is still useful reference.)

@ChotaFallen , Under default Monokai, I cannot replicate: [image: 1790262087450-9491595a-6d67-4abf-8758-f5ed5da6beb3-image.jpeg] However, if I change the Default Style > Background for Monokai (to a green similar to your second screenshot), I can see it: [image: 1790262414327-b8f97a3a-d5b4-43cd-b0f3-a1c35e66c366-image.jpeg] It’s because Monokai (and most themes) hardcodes every background color for every style, rather than using “inherit”. Here’s an example using the default style: [image: 1790262562644-9ba07e02-fb1d-4d2f-a580-d6cb2d7d5924-image.jpeg] The theme color choices aren’t always perfect, and not everyone is going to agree with color choices made. As such, you can customize to what you want. If you want most of the backgrounds for your theme to inherit from the “default background” rather than being hardcoded, you can go through and right click the background color for any that are the default. (Or, as a footnote, I will also explain a process that you can edit the XML for your customized Monokai, to automatically change anything that has a background that matches the monokai default background to inherit from default background, so that you can do it in a lot less time.) What I need is a better highlighed line I am working in, its black on dark that has nothing to do with highlight. … If I try to change it via Style congiruator the line will be solid in the color I choode doesnt matter for fore or background. Which “highlight” do you mean? And I am not sure what you aren’t liking about it when you change it. Current line highlight: default Monokai: [image: 1790262875579-db922444-92f4-4df3-91f4-9865727004fd-image.jpeg] set it to something else: [image: 1790262905945-fca66fe1-82d2-47cd-92cb-8c1ca0e6bc54-image.jpeg] it does exactly what I expect: it changes the current line background color 0x3E3D32 to something based on the color I selected. Selected text colour: default: [image: 1790263082002-6cf5b4c1-7b2e-47bc-8b20-47ad2ea1884a-image.jpeg] modified: [image: 1790263104839-6318a4e3-6d6a-4583-b949-855a439f304c-image.jpeg] again, it does what I expect Smart Highlighting: default: [image: 1790263153651-1107e88c-b40c-4622-b0e9-d2676004c323-image.jpeg] changed to cyan: [image: 1790263182686-3ba38b0a-1f92-4d9d-ba94-b36ef4d0c6f3-image.jpeg] this one, it’s actually combing the selected color with the normal background color, so it’s not exactly the same color you chose; but again, that’s not unique to Monokai Find Mark Style: used when you use Find > Mark dialog [image: 1790263284015-0e9c9f44-f393-44ae-b29a-386e362939bd-image.jpeg] Mark Style #: used when you use Search > Style … Token options: [image: 1790263340517-131aa3df-93bd-4977-9bd9-3143c4a7fbcb-image.jpeg] There are a few other, less likely, choices that you might mean by highlight. But rather than showing that I think it does what’s expected, it would be better if you were more specific about what you were doing, and what you don’t like, and what you would like. Footnote: Make Monokai backgrounds inherit quickly I assume you have a copy of Monokai.xml in %AppData%\Notepad++\themes\ . Exit all copies of Notepad++ Copy Monokai.xml to Monokai_custom.xml Edit Monokai_custom.xml with Notepad++ Confirm that <WidgetStyle name="Default Style" has bgColor="272822" – if not, manually edit it to use that Search > Replace, set Search Mode = Regular Expression FIND = (?-s)bgColor="272822".*\KcolorStyle="(?:(2)|(3))" REPLACE = colorStyle="(?{1}0)(?{2}1)" REPLACE ALL FIND = (?-s)(bgColor="272822"(?:(?!colorStyle).))*\h*/> REPLACE = colorStyle="${1} colorStyle="1" /> REPLACE ALL On the “Default Style” line again, delete colorStyle="1" Save the file Exit Notepad++ and re-launch it Settings > Style Configurator > Select Theme = Monokai_custom Now if you change Monokai_custom’s default background color, it should propagate to all the other styles (both normal text and each language), so it really changes the background throughout.

@guy038 , I have also noticed that, recently, the username filter in the advanced search page doesn’t populate usernames. I had thought it might have just been me. I know that @barisusakli from NodeBB occasionally logs in, and they recently updated the forum software for us… maybe that version had a bug, because the admin panel says there’s another version available since they last updated us. Until then, once you make your search, you can edit the URL to set &by=PeterJones to search for my posts (right now, the URL probably has &by= with no value). It’s not as convenient as the drop-down, but it is a workaround.

@Bondige-Ramesh , I am sorry you are having difficulty. Assuming you mean “Notepad++”, not “Notepad” (they are two different applications – Notepad++ is what’s discussed in this forum; Microsoft’s notepad.exe is a separate product, and is not the focus of this forum) please share your ?-menu’s Debug Info, so we know what version of Notepad++ you are using, and get some useful information to help us replicate and diagnose your problem please be more specific than saying “suddenly loaded as empty” over and over. If it’s just a matter of you had a file, then accidentally deleted its contents, there is not much we can do to help you: we have a FAQ about backups, which gives a couple places to look, depending on what your Notepad++ backup settings are. But the chances are, now that the file loads empty, you have likely lost your data.

@donho Typo: “7 Fix Netork Path Warning dialog usability problem.” --> Network

I am seeing an issue that I’m not certain it is the installer of Notepad++ 8.9.8 itself or if Microsoft has inadvertently caused this… Using Microsoft’s Enterprise App Catalog to install 8.9.8 on top of an existing installation of 8.9.6.4 seems to result in the registry information being updated to say 8.9.8 but when you check C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe it is still 8.9.6.4. This was horrifying, as it’s the perfect way to maintain a vulnerable copy of the app on Enterprise systems. It could go completely unknown because, at least on ours, MDM systems seem to inventory based on what the registry says and not what’s on the actual disk. Server OS endpoints updated using the traditional SCCM method appear to update correctly. So, this adds weight to the issue being Microsoft’s Enterprise App Catalog implementation. It is almost as though they are updating the registry on behalf of Notepad++, ignoring the true status of the app.

@donho There seems to be another one: notepad-plus-plus . app I reported this too. GH issue: NPP brand impersonation website serving malware #18398
