      welcome to the notepad++ community, @SaitoHiraga and thank you for your detailed debug info.

      tab as [anyname].txt to the desktop.

      i’ve just tried to repproduce this on windows 10 pro x64 or windows 7 pro x64, using 7.6.4 x64 and x86 in both admin and non admin mode.

      can you please go to settings > preferences > default directory and have a look at your use new style dialog setting, as seen at the screenshot below.

      Imgur

      then enable it if it is not set, or disable it if it is set already, and retry.
      does changing this setting make any difference in any behaviour for you ?

      if it does not change, try to create a new local user account, log into it and retry saving anything to this new account’s desktop using notepad++.
      if this works, you will have to check your original account’s permissions and hive.

      for that i would suggest you to open a new topic separately at either the category help wanted, or general discussion, to keep it separate from 7.6.4 release topics, as this would not be related.

      best regards

        @Meta-Chuh Thanks for your answer, I forgot to mention that I already tried that. I have another laptop with Npp working correctly with win 10 x64 Home, and I installed the same version as that laptop, and it worked fine, the version that doesn’t have that problem of saving files in desktop is 6.9.2, version 7 or later, is not working for me (I installed most versions I could), but I’m perfectly fine with 6.9.2, thanks for your great app. Greetings

          FYI, the discussion on HN suggests an OSS signing cert for €25.

          The link to the cert issuer is https:// en.sklep.certum .pl/ data-safety/code-signing-certificates/open-source-code-signing-984.html (please fix your Akismet settings).

            Hello, @don-ho and All,

            Many thanks for this new 7.6.4 version ! I’m thinking about :

            • Renaming new # tabs should be a very useful feature, for people which keeps plenty of these no-saved tabs

            • The enhanced UDL system, more flexible

            • The practical mouse gesture Shift + Mouse Wheel, for horizontal scrolling

            • The new line operation Remove Consecutive Duplicate Lines


            By the way, did anyone notice that the Remove Consecutive Duplicate Lines , implicitly, give us a new command, which could be named Deletes Excess Empty / Blank lines ? Indeed, it just keeps one empty line, from a block of several empty lines and one blank line, from a block of several identical blank lines !

            However, this implicit behavior, when using the Remove Consecutive Duplicate Lines option, may not be desired ! So, may I ask you, Don, for an improvement : As for the sort operations, would it be possible that this command only acts on a normal selection of text ? So, empty lines, in other parts of current document, would not be deleted ;-))

            Now, Don, we already have the two commands Remove Empty Lines and Remove Empty Lines (Containing Blank characters), which deletes all the empty lines, on the entire document. Could it be possible to harmonize these commands ? This means that they would act on current normal selection, only, if such a selection exists.

            Best regards,

            guy038

              and most important:

              please don’t forget to take a break once in a while again @donho .

              i have probably read all of your recent publications and code changes, noticed the increased amount of time you spent lately, with all the recent worries and additional requests, and i admire how you endure all of it.

              some words in the hope it might relieve a fraction of any possible stress: we have a lot of workarounds and answers for almost everything that is not fixed or implemented yet, and we will give our best to find more, to personally support you as quarterbacks, linemen, and defense.

              with sincere and very grateful regards, MetaChuh

                And I’m sure this new feature will bring out more data loss stories, if the problems related to that are still not fixed.

                Could it be possible to harmonize these commands ?

                Amen. Soooo confusing the way it currently is.

                  he’s the OWNER of the team, so if he likes, he can sit down, relax and watch the game with a bucket of popcorn 😉

                    I cannot reproduce the issue at all.

                    The price is not really an issue, the CN as Notepad++ is.

                    I will consider it. However, I have so many priorities at this moment, these enhancements have to wait for sure.

                      If anybody wants this functionality TODAY, it is just an edit of shortcuts.xml away; add following into macros section, restart N++, look in Macros menu:

                          <Macro name="Remove Empty Lines From Selection" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
                              <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="^\R" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="640" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
                          </Macro>
                          <Macro name="Remove Empty And Lines With Blanks From Sel." Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
                              <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="^\h*\R" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="640" sParam="" />
                              <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" />
                          </Macro>
                      

                      P.S. I know that guy038 knows how to do this and is requesting native functionality for these commands, so no need to point that out to me like I don’t realize it. :)

                        Window 64 - Notepad 7.6.4 in French
                        Paramètres > Préférences > Extensions de fichier
                        If I add .nfo, it’s lost in the following session.
                        If I add .txt, all extensions are added and I lose the ability to create a new text file in the explorer with Right-click.
                        Actually, the behavior is completely crazy!
                        I think it’s version 7.6.2 that I installed before that broke something in the system…

                          salut and welcome to the notepad++ community @Michel-Bidon

                          this is a normal behaviour on machines with enabled uac and has been like that before 7.6.2.

                          if you have uac enabled at your windows settings, you have to run notepad++ as administrator in order to add your desired extensions to the windows explorer, as notepad++ would otherwise not have the permissions to set them.

                          please close notepad++, right click on the notepad++ icon and select run as administrator (exécuter en tant qu'administrateur).

                          then add all your desired extensions to the administrative account.
                          restart notepad++ normally and check all your added extensions.
                          note: you might have to add some of them at the user level too, but once they are set for the administrator account, you will have the permission to save them to your current windows user account explorer settings.

                            The post (like most updates) says

                            Auto-updater will be triggered in few days if there’s no critical issue found.

                            I understand the 7.6.0 update is frozen, but are updates from 7.6.x to 7.6.y also frozen? I’m on 7.6.3 and don’t see the update to 7.6.4.

                              Update: I guess so:
                              https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=7.63&param=x86

                              New question: Is there any reason 7.6.x aren’t set to auto update to the latest 7.6.y? And why does the post say otherwise?

                                It’s really the same question – or, rather, the same answer. Don’s “in a few days” has historically been more than a week, and usually at least 2 weeks. It’s only been a week since the announcement, so I wouldn’t expect the auto-update to trigger for another week or so.

                                  yes, due to technical reasons it is currently not possible to update 7.6.3 to 7.6.4 as it will affect other versions which would produce a major supportive issue.

                                  currently it is not possible to separate updates to be deployed and update specific versions to newer specific versions.

                                  yes, it is currently not possible to separate updates to be deployed, and all versions would get the same update, which is currently a concern.

                                  i apologise for the project’s sentence “Auto-updater will be triggered in few days if there’s no critical issue found.” but it clearly states the words if there's no critical issue found and the developers as well as the community has found issues.

                                  i hope this information might be of help to you.

                                    @PeterJones But there is no auto-update to 7.6.1 or 7.6.2 or 7.6.3 either.

                                      i apologise again, that you are not able to respond to follow up posts without having to wait for another 20 minutes.

                                      this restriction for your account will be removed as soon as you have either a sufficient amount of undeleted posts, or you have reached the threshold limit of upvotes.

                                        ps: if you need information about the update triggering not working for 7.6.1 to 7.6.3 in the mean time while waiting:

                                        the updater web server requires the notepad++ updater to send its version with a single period only, like 7.62 for version 7.6.2.

                                        unfortunately versions 7.6.1 to 7.6.3 will send the string 7.6.1 to 7.6.3 to the updater url, which would not be recognised by the update server and causes a repeated loop of triggering “a new update is available” even though you were on the latest version.

                                        please respect this decision to suspend all updates, as it would have caused major problems to millions of users, which would have been impossible to cope at any project or community level.

                                          FYI
                                          Due to a regression in v7.6.4:
                                          https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/6580255a2b6809a1fa951db44ec8be29698b8540

                                          Auto-updater won’t be triggered for this release.

                                          v7.6.5 is coming.

                                            Please separately specify if any changes have been made in plugin arrangement in this version after recent so many changes?

                                            Seems you have still not started beta release concept?

                                            Thanks.
