    I had to reinstall Notepad++ and installed 7.6. After the install I downloaded the plugin manager and XMLTools as one of my favorite plugins.

    Whatever I do, I get XMLTools not working. As a last resort I reinstalled 7.5.9 (x64) and immediatly the plugins came available again.

    Something in 7.6 broke the working of the plugins.

      It might have helped to read recent activity here before posting that…

        I did that, but failed to notice it? I take a look again. Thanks.

          For xml see https://github.com/morbac/xmltools/issues/12 , so maybe soon there will be a version compatible with pluginAdmin. In the meantime the dependency files need to be in the N++ exe directory and XMLTool.dll under a subdir XMLTool as described here https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.6-released.html

            I would suggest you first read the info here about re-locating your plugins

            https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.6-released.html

            So if you had XMLTools in your old Program Files(x86)/NotePad++/plugins folder, just create a new folder named XMLTools in the new AppData plugins location (described in the link above), and move the XmlTools.dll there.

            Restart Notepad++ and it should be available. Plugins Admin currently seems to be broken; as in if you install plugin, it restarts Notepad++, but does not install the plugin.

            As a workaround, just like XMLTools above, if you had PluginManager.dll under old Plugins folder, create a folder in the new location named PluginManager, and copy the dll in there. Restart Notepad++ and you should be able to use the old Plugin Manager.

              Do I need to make a new folder for each .dll and move the .dll in that folder? What about the other folders?

              Here’s a screenshot - instead of creating new folders and such, I tried to just move everything from right to left (AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins) and I saw Plugin again in the menu, but not the Plugin Manager.

              Thanks in advance!
