ZenCoding-Python disappeared after installing N++v7.6
-
I updated Notepad++, and now ZenCoding-Python has vanished from the plugin menu, nor is it available from the PlugIn manager. The dll is still in the plugins folder. What gives? - Bill-In-KC

Wow, nothing?
Fixed the issue by downgrading to 5.9.8. I’d really like to have the latest version but not if I’m going to lose the most powerful tool in box.

That is quite a downgrade…a 3+ year downgrade…

Yeah, grabbed from the wrong menu. I found the one I wanted and installed it, 7.5. There I will stand, there I will stay.
Seems to me this whole issue is a solution in search of a problem. Notepad++ worked, the “fix” broke it - AND deleted the plugins I’d downloaded (nor are they in any %appdata% folder anywhere). I’ve blown about three hours mucking about with it, trying to get my work environment back the way I had it. If this were a hobby, that’d be okay. This is my job, however. Not okay. Seriously, I’m one unhappy programmer. If Eclipse weren’t such a hog I’d have already moved.
Thanks for pointing me to the other conversations. I was skimming while frustrated and didn’t connect the subject lines to my specific issue.

In Notepad++ versions prior to v7.6 plugins haven’t been stored in any %AppData% directory. The plugin location was
<Notepad++-installation-directory>\pluginsand they should still be there.How to get them in a working state again I have posted here , start reading at the paragraph “To get back your old plugins…”

Good call.

It is a problem when the end user uses a product in a “this is my job” manner when the product’s developer(s) treat it like a “hobby”. However, one must assume that “free software” is developed as someone’s hobby. So I’m not sure how justifiable your “unhappiness” is in a larger sense…[surely you have the right to be unhappy in a very local sense… :-) ].
It is my understanding that a lot of I.T. departments sanction use of Notepad++ in a corporate environment. I wonder how many threw their hands up in the air and removed Notepad++ from their lists when this new plugin-admin thing caused their users to lose plugins and those naive users wasted a bunch of I.T.'s time bugging THEM about what the problem was. Again, hobby software in a corporate environment–not a great mix.
