Why there is no new HexEditor now?

Nobody takes care of it now?

welcome to the notepad++ community, @user4898426
you might be on an older version of notepad++, if you don’t find the hex editor plugin.
- please update to notepad++ 7.6.6.
- go to the menu
plugins > plugins admin
as seen at the screenshot below. - enter
hex
in the search field. - select
hex-editor
and press ìnstall`
note: if you want to have the newest version of hex editor (0.9.5.19),
you can replace your HexEditor.dll manually, with a release from >>> here <<<.quote of the day: we are nobody, so we take care of it now.

@Meta-Chuh Awesome explain! This applies to the 32 bit version of NPP, no?
How does one install your plug-in in the 64 bit version of NPP?

Here is a link to x64 https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/releases -

It is currently only in the Plugins Admin for the 32-bit version.
However, that’s why @Meta-Chuh included the manual instructions as well; the link he pointed to will work for either 32-bit (…x86.zip) or 64-bit (…x64.zip)
Since Meta didn’t explain the manual install, but normally does, I get to do it this time :-)
To actually perform the manual install:
- unzip the appropriate downloaded zipfile and open that containing folder (or have the zipfile open in windows explorer)
- In Notepad++, use Plugins > Open Plugins Folder.
- In the newly-opened plugins folder, add a subfolder
HexEditor
. - Copy the
HexEditor.dll
from the zipfile into theHexEditor
subfolder… so it should be at...\notepad++\plugins\HexEditor\HexEditor.dll
- Exit all copies of Notepad++.
- Run a fresh copy.
- HexEditor should be available in the Plugins menu, and
HexEditor.dll
should be listed in the ? > Debug Info plugins list.
(Actually, I think he has those instructions, in a more generic form, in various places… but I forget where; I need to bookmark that for the future.)

@PeterJones – thank you for reposting directions on manual instrucations. creating a folder to put the DLL in was not discussed on many other threads, nor was the 32/64 bit issue … just letting you know your post is appreciated!

I followed instructions, yet can’t get the Hex editor to show in Plugins Admin.

@Alan-Pugh I had the same problem, but I figured out it was a UAC problem, i.e. run Notepad++ as Administrator
