@Claudia-Frank Yes, I was working on it. It should be OK now.

See end of this thread: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14734/notepad-uwp-package-in-windows-store-almost-there
I dunno…maybe what is going on is OK with you…
-
@Scott-Sumner Thank you for the heads up. I will see what I can I do for it.

Nice easteregg right before easter.
Current version of DspellCheck is https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/tag/v1.4.2 and it is stable on my system.

@donho Hello. I have a question. Would you not make the Monitoring functionality to work with Windows XP also? The latest version in which Monitoring works fine on XP is 7.5.1, beyond of that version the functionality works only on Win 7 and above . . . (I also read something like the Monitoring functionality was dropped for WinXP) I’m using WinXP, and I’m stuck to version 7.5.1 (I have an old laptop). Would you not make it to work with XP for the upcoming versions also?

I did not saw that message reply . . . I checked it now, I was not notified.

Why are you asking for this when it already works in Notepad++ 7.5.6 under WIndows XP ?? -
It works?? I didn’t know, I read the changelog . . . but probably this slipped away.
Probably it’s this “Fix file status detection issue under Windows XP”.
I will try it! Thanks! -
Just checked, monitoring (tail -f) is just working fine on XP! Nice!
Thanks! -
Ever since updating to Notepad++ 7.5.6 (I skipped 7.5.4/7.5.5) every now and then startup takes a very long time (~5-10 seconds). Usually it’s fast (<1s). It does not depend on wether Notepad++ was launched before or not, it just happens statistically every now and then when launching.
Is anybody else experiencing htis behavior and was any code touched since 7.5.3 that could cause such a performance regression?
-
@Ede123 Hi! I might be in the same update routine as you are and I notice this behaviour as well. I also cannot tell when exactly this happens, it seems quite random.
-
I think I found the culprit: Update checking by JSTool plugin. :-/

I must say, the old style Open dialog box sucks. It’s so much better when you can use the address bar in the dialog box to browser around, and not that select style.
Also having to return one directory at a time instead of clicking on the one you want is not cool. -

Agreed, but it is a personal choice; I’m sure some people must like it…
But since you even bothered to mention it I presume you either don’t know about this config option, or you don’t have it ticked ?? :
Settings (menu) -> Preferences… -> Default Directory (box on left) -> Use new style dialog ( blah blah blah )
In short, tick the box for Use new style dialog ( blah blah blah )
-
@Scott-Sumner thanks!
Honestly I never knew that was an option, as it has always been the “new style” since I started using this software a long time ago.
Thanks!
