      I have been nagged for adding back 2 buttons “<< Find Previous” & “Find Next >>” in Find dialog, so here it is, in this release.
      The bug “Monitored file (tail -f) not always updated” has been fixed in this version as well.

      Auto-updater will be triggered in few days if there’s no critical issue found.

            Hey Don…I noticed a “regression” involving the new >> button when recording a macro involving it. Start macro recording, do a >> on some text, stop recording, then attempt to playback the macro…BOOM :

              Did you bring back the package manager yet? I’m still stuck on v7.4 because it was removed without a replacement. Absolutely frustrating.

                I cannot reproduce it. Could you provide your debug info via menu “?->Debug Info…” ?

                    @voidpointer: you aren’t stuck on v7.4. As has been said a plethora of times in this forum (most recently that I could find, https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15117/no-plugin-manager-in-menu-dropdown), you can manually install the Plugin Manager in a newer Notepad++ release. The reasons for not including the manager (ie, the single embedded ad in Plugin Manager) were also linked in that thread. I’ll update the links here, since Plugin Manager has apparently released v1.4.10 since that post.

                      Here’s my reproduction, this time on 64-bit Notepad++ (portable):

                        I was able to replicate the crash, but only if I use the menu Macro > Playback. If I try to play it back via the toolbar button, it doesn’t crash.

                          Thanks Donho - I was one of the naggers asking for improvements to the Find box, and this is appreciated!

                          Often simple things like improving the searching have the greatest impact!

                          I just noticed that the ZIP download is only 4.5 megabytes, and I think it says a lot that over the years you have crammed so much functionality into such a small footprint!

                          I still want to nag a bit about the other buttons in the Find/Replace box. My problem is that sometimes match whole word, or match case, or wrap around (off) are really useful, but I hesitate to use them because these options stay switched on - even after a re-boot!

                          I’d like these options to remain in effect just until the Find/Replace box is closed (however that happens), but for there to be an extra button to save them as the default settings.

                            Hi donho,
                            I like the two new buttons. Finally added! They speed up a lot my job! Thanks.

                            Also I would like to advance a further proposal: what about to add a new little button that allows to switch Find text with Replace text? It is a very fast implementation and could be done in few minutes but when editing long code files that need a lot of checking and find and replace work, it would be very useful such a feature instead copy and pasting text between the two text boxes.

                            An example screenshot can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/3F28T

                            Thanks in advance.

                              Could you also add the two buttons in Find and Replace dialog too please?

                                dail said it didn’t crash for him when using the toolbar buttons (only) for recording and playing back the macro involving the new >> find button. When I use only the toolbar buttons to do the macro part, I do get a crash but it is a different type of crash than the one earlier (where a combination of macro toolbar buttons and the Macro menu entry for playback is used).

                                Here is what happens for me when I use only the toolbar buttons:

                                  So I’ve been thinking about this and it seems like this would only be useful in the very rarest of circumstances. Clearly you have a use-case in mind that makes it a much more common need–can you share with us what that is? (It is always helpful when proposing a new feature that you make your case by illustrating very clearly just how the feature would aid your daily work)

                                    A bit off topic but can you tell me which tool you use to create the gif screen cast?

                                      Sure, see this thread. BTW, as I type this the animated GIF above keeps playing and popping up that error box, making me think Notepad++ is crashing, over and over and … :^)

                                        @Scott-Sumner Thank you for the heads up. It’ll be fixed in the next release:

                                          Thank you @donho for this latest release, particularly for adding the find buttons back in. I appreciate it. Regarding the face hugger in your avatar: I recommend nuking it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

                                            hi everyone. as of version 7.5.5, the Monitoring (tail -f) feature is working, but not immediately displaying new changes (within the file/log being monitored). however, it does display updates/changes, but only after clicking on another app, then clicking back to the notepad++ app. my OS is win 10 enterprise. is this a new issue?
