<![CDATA[Where's my plugins? npp.7.6.6]]>Today, I did update npp.7.6.6.Installer.exe

Windowblinds was causing the checkbox display issues, prolly caused the incorrect choice for user data folder.

I could just restore the folders in progra and roaming, which I copied first, and try the update again.

Is there a simpler way, maybe a settings checkbox?

I’m assuming it is not looking in appdata for my addons, there are none listed as installed.

cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins”
dir .dll
for %a in (.dll) do @echo %a
for %a in (.dll) do @echo %~na
for %a in (.dll) do @if not exist %~na echo %~na
for %a in (.dll) do @if not exist %~na echo %~na & mkdir %~na
dir
for %a in (.dll) do @move %a %~na
dir

Steps that actually did the work:
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins”
for %a in (.dll) do @if not exist %~na echo %~na & mkdir %~na
for %a in (.dll) do @move %a %~na

Opening NPP again listed the missing addons (all were missing).
One was outdated, I don’t use it anyway.

Just when I had it all setup nice, too.
If it has to be done, it has to be done.

  1. plugins manager (3rd party) has been replaced with plugins admin (builtin) - use plugins admin to see if
    your plugin has been already adapted.
    If not,
  2. the directory structure has been changed.
    Former npp version, version < 7.6, would load plugins.dll from plugins directory
    Now, each plugin has to be in a folder under plugins folder with the exact name of the plugin.
