      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?
