@Alan-Kilborn got it! this the fastest i always edit my notes also html unlike vsc the color is intact.

@Thomas-Zito

Nope.

@Alan-Kilborn

Maybe, I’m just not sure if it’s really an NPP issue or something on my end because, kinda weird, right?

@James-Burke-0 ,
Unfortunately, every one of those variants has NON-Standard extensions, so it would be virtually impossible to do a one UDL to rule them all type of thing. The current xBASE, doesn’t work with plain dBASE, although much of it will, but it doesn’t come close to what was needed for dBASE Plus, an OOP version of dBASE, which is why I created that one with a lot of help from the folks around here.

The language syntax differences would drive you mad, and unless you’re willing to create a lexer to handle them all, based on some criteria like file extensions, stock boilerplate code at the start of files, etc…you’ll be working your tail off to track down all the reference material needed plus writing, editing and fixing the variances that can occur between variants.

It took me a year to complete the dBASE Plus UDL that, thanks to @PeterJones , is now in the UDL languages repository as he mentions above. You can try and use that or the xBASE version as a start.

This won’t be a project for the faint of heart, so unless you’re ready to take on that task, I’d stick to only worrying about the variant that you need to work with.

@James-Burke-0 ,
Unless it has the ability to read dbf7 tables, it doesn’t read all dbf formats. Just an FYI.

FYI It turns out WebEdit has been living a second life on GitHub as a .NET Framework plugin, presumably capable of targeting x86_64: https://github.com/alex-ilin/WebEdit

To be honest it looks like an abandoned work in progress, but might be worth fixing up if someone has the time.

@donho Thank you. Yes. Sorry for the confusion. I meant the CVE-2024-7264 present in updater/libcurl.dll. When is it possible to get v8.7.1 released?

@Drew-S ,

“almost all the checkboxes are checked” – in the Notepad++ settings, some are mutally exclusive (radioboxes, not checkboxes), so we still cannot know what settings you have. Can you do Alt+PrintScreen in the Preferences > Backup dialog, and in your AutoSave plugin preferences, and paste those two screenshots in your reply

Now I see that subfolder “backup” is created, but it’s still empty…

Which means that either you don’t have any unsaved edits yet, or you don’t have session snapshot enabled. Like I said before, if you don’t have any unsaved edits, the backup folder will be empty.

And you really need to read the FAQ I linked you to.

@PeterJones Yes, this is the same problem I’m facing. I haven’t found a solution to the problem. I’m having to use an old version of Notepad++ that didn’t have this error.

I just commented on /issues/29 , which you sent me.

@Mikko-Torniainen ,

I’ve been using v8.7 since it was released, and I’ve never seen that error.

This sounds somewhat like this issue from August – wherein it turned out the user had AntiVirus SW that turned on a buried Windows setting to “protect” the user. You might want to check the setting that @xomx mentioned in that discussion.

If that setting was already off for you, and if you know that you don’t have AntiVirus/AntiMalware getting in the way, then try using MS notepad.exe to save a file to a given directory, and then try using Notepad++ to save in the exact same directory.

@Stefan-Knecht said in Dozens of open tabs disappeared:

Perhaps the process is at fault then?

No, it stems from the fact those backup files will refer to open tabs. No open tabs means no backup files.

As that FAQ post states, you should do your own backups so that you have “real” files, not rely solely on “temp tab” files for critical data.

You might wish to provide your Notepad++ setup. Read this FAQ post. That will give us some of that info. Any other information would also be welcome as it helps us get a better idea of the environment you are working in. Info such as, do you run multiple instances, was the backup location a local or network drive, or maybe cloud.

The more you can provide the better chance the members here might notice the reason for you problem. Whilst this may help you prevent a repeat, the original link I provided contains probably the best chance of you recovering some (or hopefully all) of your missing data.

Good luck.

@Eli-Khoury said in Find dialogbox:

How to have the “Find” in the “Status bar”?

Are you talking about Incremental Search, like in the following screenshot?

bfea5405-6c6f-4304-a243-2cb55921399d-image.png

Search > Incremental Search (default key binding = Ctrl+Alt+I) will show that extra search tool near the Status Bar. It’s not the full-featured Find dialog (because that obviously wouldn’t fit), but it provides normal (non-regex) searching

@PeterJones Thank you! That one did work (I thought I had tried it before I posted and it didn’t work.). But it worked when I tried it again!

Re: [New Plugin] NppOpenAI
Great effort!! … but It would be really nice if I could use remote access to Ollama server. Similar to this:
“Continue” for VS Code.

where I can provide a link to ollama server and model to use in settings file like this for example:
“tabAutocompleteModel”: {
“title”: “Codestral 22B”,
“provider”: “ollama”,
“model”: “codestral:22b-v0.1-q6_K”,
“apiBase”: “http://<IP of the sever>:11434”
}

Best,
Marek

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Thanks a lot will try this. I m sure this will work.

@Kristy-Atkins said in FTP Plugin is Worthless:

I need to be able to download multiple fileS from multiple website folderS on the server to
MATCHING folders in my local website folder.

I had forgotten, because I’ve never used that feature, but NppFTP has “Cache Paths” ability, which allows you to map specific local paths for specific remote paths.

Go to your Profile Settings in NppFTP, and pick the profile for your host. Go to the Cache tab. put in the Local Path and External Path for the first pair, Add New; then repeat for additional folders. So, it already has that particular feature you requested, and your ire was misplaced on that one.

I also need the FTP manager to be able to sort

Sorting would be nice, and was asked for some time back… but apparently, someone who has a full-time job outside of NppFTP development, who is 100% volunteer, just hasn’t found the right Round Tuit™ to implement sorting. Since you imply that you have enough skills to write a full plugin, maybe you could put your effort into making the existing plugin better, and develop a PR that would implement sorting of the remote files list.

update:

I need to be able to select specific fileS in my LOCAL website folderS using a client side ‘tree’ and upload them to the matching folders on the server

Use the Folder as Workspace or similar feature in Notepad++, and open the file(s) that you care about. Then, as long as the Cache Paths have been set up correctly and NppFTP is running, whenever you save the file in Notepad++, it will upload to the appropriate server location. But NppFTP isn’t meant as a full-featured FTP tool – it’s focused on the files you are editing in Notepad++, so if you want to easily upload a file that’s not open in Notepad++, you can either open it in Notepad++ and save it to trigger, or you could use a standalone FTP client for any files that you don’t want to open in Notepad++ (including non-text files, like images). And I second @Jim-Dailey’s suggestion of WinSCP, as that’s a good tool, and includes features for keeping remote-and-local in sync, which it sounds like what you want to do.

@Alen-Mark ,

Please note: this is the second time you’ve come to the forum and posted ultra-generic content that sounds vaguely on-topic: it is highly reminiscent of AI-generated phraseology.

Please understand that posting AI-Generated content is expressly forbidden in this forum. And if your posts continue to appear as if they are – whether or not they are – you are likely to get banned. If you wish to avoid looking like (and getting banned as) AI, then I suggest you tailor your replies to the individual posts, rather than providing overly-generic responses that don’t take into account the context of the entire conversation.
