Notepad++ 7.4.2 release

[Fox-E]

@richlux Shift-enter searches upwards too, for less mouse usage.

I noticed that the Find dialog is now RESIZEABLE. Cool! This opens up some space on the “word”, “case” and “wrap” checkboxes…I was thinking of customizing the text on those to put some regex help text on there (to the right of the existing text) as a mind-jogger when I’m writing a regex search. I know I was able to customize the text on menus and controls in the past with Notepad++, but I can’t seem to remember how I did that–or at least what I think I remember isn’t working. Is there a tutorial or a posting on how to do that? (Search on this site is POOR).

I assume you’re thinking of the localization xml files aren’t you.
The one like english_customizable.xml?
Or am I on the wrong track?

Cheers

@Claudia-Frank

Well, I tried changing some text (e.g. for the Wraparound checkbox) in english_customizable.xml and then selecting that in the Preferences, but nothing changed with the text for the checkbox, even after restarting. My bad memory says there is something else to effect this, but I can’t remember what…any other ideas from others welcome…

@Alan-Kilborn

worked for me if I understood your wish correctly.
Edited xml, restarted npp and selected the customized one.

Cheers

Hello, @alan-kilborn and @claudia-frank,

Claudia, I had, exactly, the same idea ! But I have not posted anything yet, because, unfortunately, I noticed that this user text is truncated, after some characters :-((

Just do a second try, with, for instance, the xml line, below, of the english-cutomizable.xml file, in the localization folder :

<Item id="1603" name="Match &amp;whole word only. Here is the text added in the 'Match whole word' option "/>

Best Regards,

guy038

[Claudia Frank]

@guy038

yes, you are right - looks like the length is limited to 32 chars
(did not check the code but did a simple test with one of the fields)

@alan-kilborn
the changes should be done immediately if you switch between two localized xmls.

Cheers
Claudia

Is it available for mac??

[nandaccio]

Question: why the official distribution of Notepad++ still includes “Plugin Manager 1.3.5” while version 1.4.5 is available since May?

Thanks

[Michael Jimenez]

Thanks for all the job on this new version. I found something with the new Find dialog when used in spanish laguage, the text “Buscar siguiente” (Find Next) is bigger than the button control, also the check box “En la selección” looks like it beelongs only to the “Reemplazar todo” (Replace All) button. It works as expected, it just looks wierd.

I use np++ since years and appreciate the hard work. The newest version has the resizable Search Dialog, which is nice. But in previous versions the text on the buttons were readable in german. See the new version with german translation:

yay, multi-line drag and drop is back! Thanks!

I use “compare” all the time so the loss of dragging a few versions ago was quite the bummer.

When installing and not selecting any language pack, it instals all of them. Also estimated size says 5.7MB but it is 22MB or so.

After this update when I open and immediately close the program it crashes. Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit)

@Ahu-Lee Disable the Location Navigate plugin and see whether the crashes stop.

[Ahu Lee]

@AngryGamer, thank you very much. I will try it out without Location Navigate.

BTW here’s another crash (it happened when I was browsing Style Configurator ):

Don,

I really appreciate the new buttons on the Find box. I spend a lot of time searching for things in large C programs - forwards and backwards - and I will find this really useful. The help information on these buttons is also valuable.

@Ahu-Lee

Could you provide your Debug Info via menu ? -> Debug Info… ?

[dotnetsp2]

Just wanted to let you (Don Ho) know that I’ve noticed when I move Swift to the list of Disabled Languages and restart NPP++, the language still appears in the Language menu. I can see that the langsExcluded node in config.xml never changes:
<GUIConfig name=“langsExcluded” gr0=“238” gr1=“12” gr2=“160” gr3=“255” gr4=“255” gr5=“127” gr6=“223” gr7=“243” langMenuCompact=“no” />
I have a total of 46 languages disabled, and 15 enabled. In case it’s helpful, here is my Debug Info:

When resizing the Find in Files dialog, the text in all 4 combo-boxes get selected…
.

Is it intentional?
