      Hello,
      i use WinSCP with notepad++ as external editor. When i open a file of the server side and set preferences in notepad++, there will no saving this. (example MultiInst, Auto-Completion, …)

      C:\Users\xxx\Portable\npp.7.5.1.bin.minimalist.x64\notepad++.exe -multiInst !.!

      The notepad++ in WinSCP is another version to the notepad++ was i use on Windows 7.

        as a portable version it should have a file doLocalConf.xml (file without content)
        in the same folder where noteapd++.exe is. This informs notepad to read/write the
        config files, like config.xml, within the same directory. Can you double check and see
        if the doLocalConf file exists and if the config.xml does get modified?

        Cheers
        Claudia

          I found the problem. I use this notepad as -multiInst.
          The problem is a bit tricky. Made settings, whether via Settings->Preferences, or via the menu bar options, are only saved if the instance in which these changes were made was closed. Correct? This can be very confusing with -multiInst and many open instances. I will remember that.

            To be honest, haven’t tested it but I assume this is correct and makes sense.
