        I don’t know if this is a new feature (I don’t find mention anywhere) or regression, but in Open File dialog, when I digit “<some text>*”, all files that start with “<some text>” will be open, before I get a filter applied to files in the current folder. I reinstalled old versions and found that the change came with version 7.5.5, but I can not find a quote in the release notes.

          Try changing the Use new style save dialog… setting to its opposite state in Settings (menu) -> Preferences… -> Default Directory (box on left).

                Well, I said: “try changing the Use new style save dialog… setting to its opposite state”

                Your screenshot shows that you have it unticked so following the instructions would mean to tick it.

                  Don Ho doesn’t respond to those types of questions, generally…

                      I really like working with Notepad++, is a really excelent editor, but I want to suggest a native feature, a Code Snippet. I know there are plugins, but I tried all of them and, in my opinion, the best one is SnippetPlus, because you can associate a tag with a snippet, digit that tag and just press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to inser snippet in the code, but this plugin is really old and despite the fact that it is open source, the source code is not available. Having native snippet feature inside Notepad++ will be the best.

                          Hi, Don,

                          Just a coincidence ! But, hummm…, one contributor per release ? Oh my God ;-))

                          Cheers,

                            @guy038 Then 159 must be the lucky number of Notep… Oh my God, wait a minute… Is it XP?!

                              Hello, @don-ho and All,

                              Indeed, it is !! Quite a shock for lot of people, isn’t it ? I just imagine the scene. A young N++ user asking : “Hi, Dad, what XP means ?”

                              Well, I expect to switch, directly, to Windows 10, after the summer holidays, but more likely near Christmas !

                              Cheers

                                it works, so christmas 2159 seems to be a good date for the next upgrade ;-)

                                  I’m not understanding the 159 and XP conversation. I see the original coincidence of the two 159’s but beyond that, what the heck is being discussed?? :-)

                                    Hi @scott-sumner,

                                    Just because Don noticed that, from my imgur picture, it was taken from an XP station, as he said, in his post :

                                    wait a minute… Is it XP?!

                                    So, I was joking about it :-D

                                    Cheers,

                                    guy038

                                      Hi, @don-ho,

                                      After downloading the npp.7.5.8.bin.7z archive and installed it, I noticed that every plugin, part of the release, is, now, located in its own folder, inside the plugins folder

                                      Thinking of a possible bug, I verified, however, that the organization of the other .zip archives, as well as the x64 versions, are quite identical !

                                      So, Don, is this new localization of plugins, the future one ?

                                      Nevertheless, I noticed, that if I moved a plugin, outside its own folder, into the Plugins folder, it still works, on opening N++ :-))

                                      Best Regards,

                                      guy038

                                        I would guess that is an effect from @donho’s in-progress new-and-improved plugin-manager.

                                          After updating to Notepad++ v7.5.8 (32-bit) I have experienced hangs. The all of the menus work but I can not change between window tabs or scroll in the current tab. I have to use File/Exit and restart Notepad++ to recover.

                                          Bug information:

                                          Notepad++ v7.5.8 (32-bit)

                                          I also intermittently get a Notepad++ has shut down unexpectedly message every so often.

                                          Thanks for a great application!
