Notepad++ cannot open xml files even with the xml tools plugin installed
-
As title, i have installed the xml tools plugin, but whenever i try to open a xml file with notepad++, windows switches focus to notepad++ but nothing happens. Notepad++ does not open the xml file and there is no error message or anything.
This is with notepad++ 6.9.2.

Maybe you wanna describe in detail what you are doing? Right-click on file to start or
start npp and use the file menu to open the file or …
In addition I would give it a try to run notepad++ without plugins to see if a plugin is causing this.
(Temporarily rename plugins directory). Might it be a privilege issue?Cheers

@Claudia-Frank I’ve tried right click->edit with notepad++ and opening the file via notepad++'s file->open menu. Nothing works. There is no error messge, notepad++ simply fails to open the file.
Not sure what you mean by disable plugins…i’ve tried ticking/unticking all the plugins in the plugin manager, and it makes no difference. Are you saying that you can open xml files just fine in notepad++?

yes, I can edit xml without a problem.
By disabling plugins I mean rename the …\notepad++\plugins directory so it cannot
find any plugins. Depending on your configuration it is either the one under %APPDATA%\notepad++ or the one under INSTALLDIR\notepad++.Cheers
