Notepad++ v7.3 release

[chcg]

@donho For npp export plugin I created a github repo and update the code for x64 and current n++ plugin interface as jens lorenz seems to be inactive, see https://github.com/chcg/NPP_ExportPlugin/releases/tag/0.2.8.6 for a release from appveyor which you might include for x64

@donho Thanks for the new release.

Would it be possible to revise the config.xml “noAutoUpdate” setting?

I have outlined the issue here:

Hi, i’ve auto-updated today from v6.9 to v7.2 and cannot open windows network drives ( I’m not sure they’re called like this, I’m not using Window in english) - created when you go to My Computer and click ‘Add network drive’… so for example I have virtual drive Y: mapped to \\192.168.0.25\web . Notepad++ doesn’t show these when I go to Open -> My Computer .
Also doesn’t work from Explorer -> right-click -> Open with Notepad++

My OS is Win8.1 Pro x64.
Bye

I really wish Notepad++ would remember my scroll position when switching between tabs, rather than always jumping to the top of the file. Didn’t it use to do this in previous versions?

What about updating to latest version of Scintilla, by the way?
These 2 changes themselves makes me really want it! -

• Version 3.7.0 improves word selection, navigation, and manipulation for UTF-8 documents.
• Version 3.6.6 enables C++11 <regex> by default.

@area-webb check-out this post : https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/12688/scintilla-3-7-0
I released a completely experimental nightly build with Scintilla 3.7.0 embedded.

@Vitaliy-Dovgan n++ is using the regex functionality from boost, so c++11 regex wasn’t considered usefull as it just supports ECMAScript syntax, see http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/regex/ and not PCRE, see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax.html and therefore notepad++ would loose functionality

When I use MD5 /generate into clipboard, the result doesn’t match that obtained by running MD5sums (v 1.2) on the file itself. Maybe I have misunderstood what this does.

If I use the MD5/generate option, the result is a rather bare dialog. I suppose it is obvious, but shouldn’t it say supply string for MD5?

[donho]

@David-Bailey From what do you try to generate?
From an unicode text?

[David Bailey]

@donho Yes, NP++ encoding was (probably) set to UTF8 (without a BOM)

Hi, in the previous version, notepad could persist unsaved files when closed, now it requires that this files be saved or it won’t restore them on a new instance. Is this a desired behaviour?

[Claudia Frank]

@Juan-Manuel-Pedrosa

Check the following setting
Settings->Preferences->Backup
Is Remember current session for next launch and
Enable session snapshot and periodic backup checked?

Cheers
Claudia

[Juan Manuel Pedrosa]

@Claudia-Frank Hi Claudia, “Enable session snapshot and periodic backup” wasn’t checked, now it works fine, could it be that the notepad update change this setting?

[Claudia Frank]

@Juan-Manuel-Pedrosa

Hi Juan-Manuel,
an update shouldn’t change this but if you did a new installation
than it could be the case.

Cheers
Claudia

[Juan Manuel Pedrosa]

@Claudia-Frank nope…it was an update
