Notepad++ v7.1 released

Raven Demeyer

Found a critical bug in the installer: You cannot choose to use the “obsolete and monstrous” icon any more!

When during install I disable Auto-Update feature the updater folder is still created in N++ install path and the gpup.exe is still there.

It’s only in x86 version (Tested with x64 installer, works fine for me), and it’s a normal behaviour - gpup.exe is updater come with Plugin Manager plugin. (GUP.exe is Notepad++ updater)

Uninstaller silent mode issue will be fixed in the next release.

Hi, I have a issue, but it it’s not critial…
The menu function “Rename” is not working. If I use this function, the “Save as” function appers isnteed of Rename!

Thanks.

So if you follow through with what appears to be a “Save As…”, then what happens?

For me, I type a different filename and press OK. Then my Notepad++ editing tab has the new name and examining the containing folder with Explorer shows that a file with the new name is there and the file with the old name is gone.

Isn’t that a RENAME ?

After update to v7.1 can’t “Save” edited file - simply nothing happens. Only when run as administrator ordinary save works. Uninstalling and going back to any of the previous versions doesn’t help.

Hi Donho,
I need silent uninstall switch for Notepad++ 7.1 application. I have used “C:\Program Files(x86)\Notepad++\Uninstall.exe” /S. In the middlw i am getting custom setting pop up dialod box yes no option. I need silent uninstall without any pop up dialogs. Please suggest.

Strange thing - i open text, which was written on Mac, on Windows, and there are crossed squares instead of cyrillic text. Also, i have message in Skype (on Windows), i copied it and paste to notepad - and here they are, crossed squares. Thin message was written on Mac’s Skype too. UTF-8 setted, changing it doesn’t help. ANSI makes text full of not readable symbols. It happens after update to 7.1, but i don’t remember what version I had before update - quiet old, I think.

thanks for the new architecture!!
perhaps I’m blind - but I can’t seem to find the new file size limit. I’m able to open a 1.2gb text file, but not a 7gb file. any idea what the new limit is with 7.1 64bit?

It is not possible to mark a piece of text and drag/drop it to a position that is not visible in the window.
dragging a text to the top or buttom, should result in som sort of scrolling…

Scott, you are rigth.
I really noticed this “new” way for renaming a file.
Even so, thanks for you attention.
