      i was able to use your first, unedited regex, but i also fail to find any matches with your edited version.

      SEARCH (?-is)^(\h*\{|\h*\},\h*\{|\})|^\h*"npp-plugins".+\R|^\h*(\},?|\])\R|^\h+"(arch)|(32|64)",$|^\h+"(id)|^\h+"(repository)|^\h+"(.)|(": ")|",?$
      does not find any matches on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/master/src/pl.x86.json
      (version 1.0.9)

        Hi, @meta-chuh, @alan-kilborn and All,

        As, seemingly, there are, at least, two links from where we can download the pl.x86.json and pl.x64.json

        https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/raw/master/src/pl.x86.json

        https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/master/src/pl.x86.json

        I compared the two files and … they are quite identical !

        Secondly, I selected and pasted your regex and compared with my FIRST search regex, using the Find dialog, with the Normal mode, and the Match case option ticked

        And, again, the two regexes were identical !

        So,… I really don’t understand why, you and Alan, cannot get it to match ???


        For instance, after running the FISRT regex S/R :

        • SEARCH (?-is)^(\h*\{|\h*\},\h*\{|\})|^\h*"npp-plugins".+\R|^\h*(\},?|\])\R|^\h+"(arch)|(32|64)",$|^\h+"(id)|^\h+"(repository)|^\h+"(.)|(": ")|",?$

        • REPLACE (?3Architecture)(?4\4\x20bits)(?5SHA-256)(?6Download)(?7\u\7)(?8\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\:\x20)((?1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------)

        It not clear for me ! What do you mean by unedited and edited versions ?

          oooops, i was on 7.7 debug without boost while i was testing what alan said, that’s why it didn’t work for me.

          works as expected in 7.6.6, just like the first time i’ve tested it.

          my sincere apologies 🙏

          (i will start using different coloured themes for different versions while testing, to avoid this in the future)

            @guy038 :

            I as well got it working now, both with the free-spacing regex and the non. Not sure what the problems were earlier, EXCEPT I do realize now that I didn’t keep the | characters for some oddball reason.

            BTW, I dislike vertical alignment of anything but comment-to-eol. A personal preference.

            Thx, @guy038, this will come in handy for us that do manual plugin installs.

                @Meta-Chuh Finally got round to this. Sorry it took so long. I followed the instructions you gave and it had the same effect as before, that is:

                • I started notepad++.exe from inside the extracted folder,
                • used plugins > plugins admin to install Customize Toolbar,
                • clicked yes on the “Restart?” prompt,
                • and the folder opened in Explorer
                • I restarted NP++ and Customize Toolbar is installed.

                I don’t hide file extensions. I did this simply on the extracted folder (under my Downloads directory), no other versions of NP++ running, no plugins installed other than the default set of three (MIMEtools, Converter, NppExport).
                One thought, though, I wonder if notepad++ is being passed to the shell (rather than notepad++.exe), and that is causing the Explorer window to open the folder rather than the executable file?
                Also I am running QTTabBar to give me a tabbed Explorer, not sure if that would have some effect.

                  Uninstalled QTTabBar and tried again with the portable version of NP++ and just native Windows File Explorer and this time it worked.
                  I noticed that QTTabBar was a couple of minor versions out of date, so I reinstalled and updated it. Tried again with the Portable version of NP++ and this time it worked. Hmm. Tried with the installed version of NP++ and this worked as well.
                  So, looks like whatever was causing the problem got fixed when I updated QTTabBar. I don’t know if it was the older version of QTTabBar itself that was causing the problem, or if the uninstall, reinstall, update process incidentally sorted something.

                    thank you for reporting back, and glad to hear that plugin installation is working now, without opening an explorer window.

                    your report can help others, who might have a similar constellation and experience the same, if an older version of qttabbar was the cause.

                    many thanks and best regards.
