Issue with automatic text replacement in v7.2.2

Hello
Long time user of Notepad++ - such a great tool!
As a forum moderator I also use a automatic text replacement tool called AutoHotKey however as of 7.2.2 this has stopped functioning. Sad :(

Any ideas?

Thanks for such a great piece of software, my family has no clue how much time Notepad++ has freed up more time to spend with them :thumbsup:

@Dave-Green

I think you’re going to have to be more specific about the issue you are seeing before anyone can give you any help.

Fair enough. However I’ve resolved it. Somewhere’s in the last few versions an option has been added to set files to Read only. I’ve never used this option before but yet during the update to 7.2.2 one of the files I use often had the flag set to read-only. That’s why my macro replacement program never worked. Once I cleared the flag my macro replacements are working fine again.

Thanks for the reply.
