      @ekopalypse,

      I finally found the time to try out your ctypes-based/windows-messaging-based alternative to getLanguageName()/getLanguageDesc(). I haven’t yet seen a crash with my testing of this updated version, and v0.03-beta had started to crash more frequently for me, so I’m hoping v0.04-beta fixed the crash by using your functions.

      v0.04 Beta Release

      Newest beta release

      • Convert from notepad.getLanguageName(notepad.getCurrentLanguage()) to a function __eko_getLexerName() that’s derived from @ekopalypse’s Enhanced UDL Lexer’s get_lexer_name(); similarly for ...getLanguageDesc(...) => __eko_getLexerDesc()

      • Fix the hex prefix in the filtered filename to never show up as -XXXXXXXX by masking the 32-bit CRC32 with 0xFFFFFFFF, to make sure Python doesn’t incorrectly believe that it’s “negative” when the MSB is 1.

      You can download just the scripts via pyscFilteredViewer-v0.04-beta.zip

        Since I use the SendMessage method I also had no crash anymore.
        I tried to pinpoint the cause of the issue but my lack of C++ knowledge isn’t really helpful here ;-)

          wow, 2.2k viewers !!!

          it seems that pyscfr isn’t just a cool tool for us internally.
          it has apparently caught more interest than the majority of topics, excluding official announcements 👍

          you have to reduce your offline times, please 😉

            @Meta-Chuh,

            You did a stealth edit and got rid of the “how many downloads at GitHub” question… but I found that timely, because it was just a few hours ago that I went searching how to find that information.

            It’s in the GitHub API: https://api.github.com/repos/pryrt/pyscFilteredViewer/releases lists the JSON for the project, and each of the “assets” has a “download_count” attribute. Unfortunately, that appears to just be for the manual script-only zipfile that I upload as an “asset”, because I don’t see download_count for any of their auto-generated tarball/zipball.

            At last check, v0.03-beta had 2 downloads, and v0.04-beta had 4. So not exactly the impressive number that the Community “views” count would indicate. I think the 44 posts in this thread, and all of our views where we load/reload/upvote/refresh probably artificially inflate that count. :-)

                easy solution:

                • take her to a nice dinner.
                • order something very spicy for you.
                • complain about a stomach ache because it was too spicy.
                • go to the toilet for an extended period of time and use your mobile phone to get here.

                side note: repeat this every day, and she’ll get completely used to it. 😉

                  the idea is nice despite the fact that I’m already eating very spicy and, sounds strange these days,
                  I don’t have a mobile. And carrying my laptop with me while having diner with her … well … you can guess
                  what might happen … a tip … nothing that a man really likes :-D

                    then i have an …

                    adaption of the hitchhiker’s guide to the notepad++ community for married men:

                    • take her to a nice dinner to restaurants where you have previously deposited a notebook at every toilet.
                    • order something very, very spicy for you.
                    • complain about a stomach ache because it was too spicy.
                    • go to the toilet for an extended period of time and use your mobile phone to get here.
                    • take care to limit the amounts of restaurants you visit to only a few, in order not to get broke due to buying a vast amount of notebooks you have to deposit at every toilet.

                    😂😂😂

                        seen that, that’s why i removed the question in time.
                        albeit i doubt that it was just us who have visited this thread that often.
                        after looking at the download count, i re-checked some of our other topics for the hit count, and all of the ones i’ve visited, that had our personal interest, were far below that count.

                        ps: sorry for hijacking your thread with so much spicy food for married men.

                          looool, yes i’ve predicted the spicy future back then and this was the only reason why i asked for 5 of those at that thread 👍😂👍

                            We hijack other threads so often, it’s about time we started hijacking our own threads, too. :-)
