@Alexander–Rudenko

the old plugin manager is not compatible with newer versions of notepad++.
please do not use plugin manager on notepad++ versions 7.6 and above, as it will write files to wrong locations.

first revert all changes you made to your notepad++ installation, by uninstalling plugin manager and removing everything you might have installed with plugin manager.
make sure you do not see any error messages at notepad++ startup, and make sure you do not see plugin manager at your plugins menu anymore.

next, follow the >>> Guide: How to install the PythonScript plugin on Notepad++ 7.6.3, 7.6.4 and above <<< , to install pythonscript manually.

then download the emmet plugin emmet-npp.zip from >>> here <<< and extract it.

go to the notepad++ 7.6.4 menu plugins > open plugins folder to open your plugins folder, and create a new folder called EmmetNPP.

copy EmmetNPP.dll from the extracted emmet-npp.zip into the EmmetNPP folder you have created.
copy all files and folders from the folder EmmetNPP within the extracted emmet-npp.zip into the EmmetNPP folder you have created.

note: your plugins\EmmetNPP folder should now contain EmmetNPP.dll, _PyV8.pyd, editor.js, npp_emmet.py, PyV8.py and a folder called emmet.

now restart notepad++ and you will see both the emmet plugin and the python script plugin at your plugins menu.

The emmet plugin version downloaded from here is only good for 32-bit OS

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Tanveer-Malik

The emmet plugin version downloaded from here is only good for 32-bit OS

yes, the official emmet notepad++ plugin is known to exist as 32 bit only.
if you need emmet, please install the 32 bit version of notepad++, which will run fine on a 64 bit windows os.
alternatively you could try to use the experimental, unofficial, user compiled 64 bit version from >>> here <<< .

if you need further basic information about the emmet notepad++ plugin, please also visit
the emmet plugin project tracker: https://github.com/emmetio/npp/issues
and the emmet documentation pages: https://docs.emmet.io

keep in mind that the emmet project is not very well maintained and the available emmet documentation might be outdated.

Where is the new plugin manager?

[Meta Chuh]

@Marcin-Po

the new, built in plugin manager replacement is called Plugins Admin and is located at the menu Plugins > Plugins Admin..., as seen at the screenshot below.

note: plugins admin does not contain all plugins, as some of them have not been submitted to the official notepad++ plugins list by the plugin developer.

[Marcin Po]

I can see only “Open Plugin Folder…” (Notepadd++ 7.6.4 or 7.6.5)

Usually that happens with a non-standard installation method. Did you use the installer, or the zip/7z/minimalist portable version? If the installer, did you put it in the normal location, or specify a different directory? If the portable, what directory did you put it in?

(Also please go to Notepad++ menu ? > Debug Info > Copy debug info into clipboard and paste in your reply – this will show us what Notepad++ can see about its environment)

[Marcin Po]

I used installer and the normal location.

Notepad++ v7.6.5 (32-bit)
Build time : Mar 29 2019 - 02:46:18
Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : ON
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 7 (64-bit)
Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll EmmetNPP.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PythonScript.dll

Thanks.

I would think with those answers that you would see Plugins Admin.

I see that you’re in Admin mode. I wouldn’t think that would influence whether Plugins Admin is available. WIth my portable, I can run in Admin mode and still see Plugins Admin. Maybe @Meta-Chuh or one of the others with an installed version readily available can confirm that admin-mode works with plugins admin on 7.6.5 32-bit.

Oh, I wonder if something was messed up on the GUP updater. Can you give us a paste from dir c:\program files (x86)\noteapd++\updater? so we can see if you have all the files necessary for the internal updater (which Plugins Admin relies upon, IIRC).

[Meta Chuh]

hi @Marcin-Po @PeterJones et al.

yes, notepad++ plugins admin will show up and work in admin mode.

admin mode will be activated automatically if windows user access control (uac) is disabled, and you will see Notepad++ [Administrator] at the notepad++ title bar.

one thing that can cause what you see is, if the plugin list is missing.
please go to plugins > open plugins folder... and look for a folder called Config. this has to contain a file called nppPluginList.dll, which contains the plugin list.

if it is missing, please re-install notepad++ 7.6.5. 32 bit over your existing notepad++ by using the installer from here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.5/npp.7.6.5.Installer.exe
(deinstallation of the existing notepad++ is not necessary)

important: when you re-install notepad++ over your existing notepad++, make sure that the installer options plugins and plugins admin are enabled.

Reinstaling do nothing, but I tried reinstall without plugins and plugins admin, and one more time with this options and working!

@Alexander–Rudenko

go to the notepad++ menu plugins > open plugins folder to open your plugins folder, and open the folder EmmetNPP.

check that the files _PyV8.pyd, editor.js, npp_emmet.py, PyV8.py and a folder called emmet are present.
if not, copy them from the EmmetNPP folder inside of emmet-npp.zip.

if everything is at it’s correct place, the expand abbreviation will behave as seen at the screencast below:

@andrecool-68

yes, nicely spotted.

it’s the upcoming ComparePlus by @pnedev
(also the heavenly creator of plugins > open plugins folder... 😉)

big and awesome new changes and features to the old compare plugin, like differential red/green highlighting in diff lines for removed/added text, instead of a single colour, and much much more. 👍

[andrecool-68]

@Meta-Chuh
In PluginAdmin I only see one Compare …ComparePlus no)
