Recent Files History

13177

The setting ‘Don’t check at launch time’ gets resets to default (checked).

Steps to reproduce bug:

Go to settings >> preferences >> Recent Files History
Uncheck ‘Don’t check at launch time’
Close preferences dialog
Close Notepad++
Open Notepad++ and the setting is back to default (checked).

yes, seems to be a bug.
From my limited c++ knowledge it looks like
code validates against False only

Parameters.cpp lines 4108-4120

	else if (!lstrcmp(nm, TEXT("CheckHistoryFiles")))
	{
		TiXmlNode *n = childNode->FirstChild();
		if (n)
		{
			const TCHAR* val = n->Value();
			if (val)
			{
				if (!lstrcmp(val, TEXT("no")))
					_nppGUI._checkHistoryFiles = false;
			}
		}
	}

but this is also the default value.

Parameters.h line 737
bool _checkHistoryFiles = false;

Maybe someone with deeper c/c++ knowledge can confirm or correct me.
