Can i work with more than one Favorites.dat and more than one shortcuts.xml

Norbert Quast

Can i start Notepad++ with parameter
for assign favorites.dat and/or shortcuts.xml

Which command line arguments are available can be seen under ? menu.
But you will find out that shortcuts.xml isn’t one of them.
What you can do so is to create a batch file which
copies your modified shortcuts.xml over the default one,
which, of course, should be saved beforehand.

Concerning favorites.dat, what should this file hold?
Doesn’t seem to be a standard npp file.

Favorites.dat is used by the Explorer plugin…and Claudia’s proposed technique should work just fine for it as well.
