@Ollivier_64_fr said in Project files updated:

Hello everyone,
I have a question about project management: would it be possible to update project content without having to delete all the files and recreate the project? I searched the options without finding a solution… it might be more convenient.
I hope this question hasn’t already been asked. I searched the forum before posting here without finding anything.
Thank you for your answers.

What exactly do you mean by “update project content”? The project panels (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/session/#project-panels) aren’t “live”, in that they don’t automatically add or remove files from a folder (because “projects” are meant to be independent of the underlying folder structure). But you can manually add or remove files from a given project at any time, without deleting and recreating it.

If you are looking for something that’s directory based, rather than manually adding/removing files, then the closest feature to what you want is Folder as Workspace (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/session/#folder-as-workspace), though that shows all files in the folder hierarchy, rather than just specific filetypes.

@Mudassir-Raza said in Help for a JSON formatting.:

That JSON snippet looks fine — it’s just not indented properly, so it’s hard to read.

And has syntax errors, since there are four arrays and two objects which are not properly terminated.

You can format JSON in a few ways:

In Notepad++, install the JSON Viewer plugin (as you already did).

Or the JsonTools plugin mentioned above. I tried both on the original data: JSON Viewer refused to format it, because of the syntax errors. JsonTools warned about the syntax errors, but then made its best guess to close off the arrays and objects and then formatted it.

Or, if you just want something quick in the browser, try a free online JSON viewer — it shows tree view and highlights errors instantly.

This is a Notepad++ forum. Unless Notepad++ has no way of doing it, and especially for first-time posters, it is frowned upon suggesting external tools. And since both JSON Viewer and JsonTools can help with that messy data, to some extent, there is no reason to advertise external tools – they both have error detection, they both have pretty-printers, and they both have tree-view panels available, which covers all the features you mentioned of the website, so I can see no good reason to bring up that site.

Given that the conversation was a year old, and the only new information you added was the advertisement for an external website, I was tempted to ban you as a spammer. And since I’m still not convinced that website traffic isn’t the only reason you posted, I am de-linkifying your post. Anyone who is curious about the site you’ve advertised will still be able to figure out where it is, but it will prevent automatic crawlers from wasting site bandwidth here as a redirect to the site you advertised.

Hello, All,

In summary, a wedding is :

Lots of preparation the day before

Lots of celebrations in the evening and the night

Lots of cleaning up the next day

We were extremely fortunate to have beautiful weather and pleasant temperatures for the season.!

My daughter, being a schoolteacher, had naturally chosen the All Saints’ Day school holidays.

The wedding took place in the Chartreuse Mountains (1,000 m), near Grenoble.

At the Town Hall :

@ModelsRUs ,

Reading the comments on the issue you created, it appears the plugin author has helped your confusion, both with regard to Compare coming pre-installed or not (which it doesn’t), but also regarding uninstalling it.

But for those who don’t follow links to the issue boards, the short version:

Notepad++ does not come pre-installed with ComparePlugin or ComparePlus plugin. It is safe to delete D:...\Notepad++_portable\plugins\ComparePlugin\ (as long as N++ is not actively running when you delete it), and it will not in any way, shape, or form mess up nppPluginList.dll. Not noted in the comments: the nppPluginList.dll essentially tells Notepad++ where to download plugins using the Plugins Admin interface; and while it does read the N++ plugins directory to find out what plugins and versions are currently installed, it doesn’t care if that changes outside its control.

What happens if I install “ComparePlus” without “Compare” being removed?

There would be two plugins in the Plugins menu, and each would set up its own toolbar buttons (and I’m not sure you could tell which buttons go with which plugin). And if you used the ComparePlugin comparison, it wouldn’t work right in Dark Mode (see here for a recent issue about that) the two can technically coexist, but you would just always have confusion over which you are using. the intention is to only have one of the two plugins installed. (And since ComparePlus was released, the intention has been for users to uninstall ComparePlugin and just use ComparePlus.)

@BUILMOND-interactive same problem on Snapdragon Windows Laptops - once changed to GDI the flickering across the screen is gone - seems the flickering has to do /w the cursor position flicker

@PeterJones ,

thank you for the description! A did it and it works like a charm! It is indeed amazing what’s possible with Notepad++! Likewise it’s also amazing what a friendly and helpful community it has!

@Michael-Fuerst

As you have probably determined already, the initial list is in terms of “time opened”. However once you use the “Sort By” option it will present the open tabs in the order you want select (using options available). That is then saved as the new order of tabs, even if Notepad++ is closed and re-opened.

This was asked for recently and the thought is that it’s unlikely to be added as an option, but if you read the FAQ posts you could present a request.

Goes to study the NP++'s menues

https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/editing/#edit-menu
is a good place to start. The other menus are described in appropriate places in the manual

update: once someone replies, DO NOT DELETE YOUR POST. It has been restored.

UPDATE: With the release of v8.8.7, Notepad++ is once again signed by a GlobalSign-issued certificate, as well as the Notepad++ self-signed certificate.

So updating to 8.8.7 should eliminate the problem originally described.

The certificate instructions (above) are still appropriate for confirming the self-signed certificate, but with the GlobalSign-issued certificate, the procedure is not as critical on v8.8.7 and newer.

I implemented your suggestions in version 1.1.

Hex values for the Unicode code points are shown if there are no more than eight code points in any of the normalized forms.

@Vito-Evola I’ve got the simplest workaround and tested it… Download the portable version of Notepad++ and unpack Notepad++ inside a folder in Dropbox.

Is that simple, both computers found the txt files and since my files are also inside Dropbox then no broken files.

Hope you find this helpful!

@Mario-Spiru ,

When Notepad++ is installed normally, it registers the NppShell.dll, which is what adds the normal “Edit with Notepad++” entry in the context menu. The User Manual’s Right Click - Edit with Notepad++ page has a section which explains how to manually unregister or register that DLL. So, to remove that context menu entry, you have to unregister the DLL. (Please note: you may need to be in an Admin command window to get it to unregister; and you may need to log out and back in for the unregister to take effect.)

If you manually created some other “Edit with Notepad++” entry, unregistering the DLL will do nothing, and you will have to reverse whatever manual steps you took to create the entry in the first place.

@JCB said in 2 Minor Requests:

It would be nice to have a cancel option in the Create File dialog when trying to open NP++ with a nonexistent file.

In what way is the “no” button not sufficient for your needs?

Also (since Windows is not real wonderful about restoring all my drive mappings on startup) if a file in the recently used list is on one of those drives, please do not remove it from the recently used list (or give me the option to keep it). Thanks.

As described in User Manual > Preferences > Recent Files History:
1340b2c4-4dbb-4fa0-9d9a-64a0ff6077bd-image.png

Checkmark that option. Then, when Notepad++ launches, it will not remove missing files from the Recent Files History list.
