    Since version 7.6, the ANSI code page is sometimes incorrectly detected. A file containing text “CHRÁNĚNÉ”, encoded in ANSI (Windows with the Czech Republic region selected, i.e. the Windows 1250 code page), is opened as “CHRÁNÌNÉ” (in both versions 7.6 and 7.6.1) with the automatically selected code page ISO 8859-3.

    Apparently the latest version of component uchardet doesn’t contain the fix of the regression:
    https://cgit.freedesktop.org/uchardet/uchardet/commit/?id=26e1cebad15749a3aced87ff22fb18bf55dacd79

    I’ll include this fix - could you test and validate the fix?

    How?

      Due to wingup has the retro-compatible issue with XP since its beginning, Plugins Admin will be disabled under XP. Sorry for that.

        Regarding APIs directory: As far as I know there are plugins wich are indeed lexers for a certain language. I actually found the WLangLexer which is part of the plugin list of old Plugin Manager. This plugin requests during its installation to copy an XML file to plugins\APIs.

        I don’t use lexer plugins, thus I don’t know anything about them. But I think further investigations have to be done before making a decision regarding plugins and plugins\APIs directories.

        Got your point, I’ll see what can I do for it.

          no problem to drop xp … but i’d really like to hear @guy038 screaming “nooooooooo” ;-)

          btw: thanks for today’s %PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins permission commit

          @dinkumoil
          thanks again for testing everything, even the stuff you don’t use yourself.

          regarding your suggestion at git to use %ProgramData%\Notepad++\autoCompletion instead of $INSTDIR\autoCompletion:

          as those 3 plugins have to be rewritten anyways due to the path changes, is there any specific reason to use %programdata% instead of $instdir ?
          as far as i can see the compatibility of those plugins will be broken anyways, regardless of using %programdata% or $instdir.
          and the plugin authors can always put their own lexer files in their own plugins sub folder and use them from there.

          @donho what’s your thought about that or prefered location ?
          i think if those plugins that use lexer apis have to be rewritten anyways, they could just use the official autoCompletion as it is now, inside $INSTDIR\autoCompletion for read only, and use their own additional r/w lexer data files within %programdata%\plugins\theirplugin.

            I thought of Notepad++ to be compatible with the UWP app requirements which means that the installations directory has to be immutable.

            As far as I know the former APIs directory contains the autocompletion files for different languages. Maybe it is important that these files are stored at this location to ensure that Notepad++ uses them. So it would be the best to allow plugins to store files in this directory which means its location can not be in the installation directory.

              Hi, @Meta-chuh,

              Please, don’t think that I’m worried about @don-ho’s decision for not handling, anymore, the Plugin Admin, in Win XP configurations ;-)) Indeed, as I’m always using portable versions of Notepad++, I’ve never had , up to now, any problem for installing any plugin, by myself, either for daily use or for testing.

              Even, in precedent N++ versions, when the old Plugin Manager was active and proposed me some updates, I always preferred to answer No, then, look at the author’s sites for the later release and extract all zip contents to my current N++ installation !

              Moreover, as I usually keep several N++ versions, at a time, on my [ Win XP ] laptop, if no plugin’s update comes out, I simply duplicate all the structure of the plugins, from an old N++ location, to the new "$InstallDir" location of my latest N++ installation, including possible configuration files ( .ini )

              Doing so, it helps me to better memorize all the structure of my current "$InstallDir" and how these different plugins work ;-))


              Of course, since the 7.6 version of N++, we just had to remember that, for a manual installation of a plugin, for instance, MyAwesomePlugin.dll, we must :

              • First, create a MyAwesomePlugin sub-folder, inside the "$InstallDir"\plugins directory

              • Place all the plugin’s files as well as MyAwesomePlugin.dll in the sub-folder "$InstallDir"\plugins\MyAwesomePlugin

              Best regards,

              guy038

                    Ooooh, nooo! I have an old laptop, I’m stuck to XP. If you make me angry I will make a fork to Notepad++
                    ( just joking :) )

                    Anyway Notepad++ is a great editor.

                      Having an annoying issue - If I collapse any part of an html file and try to scroll horizontally I constantly get a popup with a title of Exception and a message of “vector<T> too long” Has this been reported before?

                          Any progress in choosing proper codepage ANSI?
                          Thanks, Jan
