Notepad++ 7.7.1 Release
-
@gaebor This plugin has not been supported for 10 years.
Test this build https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit -

@andrecool-68 that’s the one I used, only an older version.
But HexEditor9.5.19 (https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/releases) has the same issue: works for 7.5.9, doesn’t work for 7.7 :( -
From 7.5 to 7.7 there was a change on where / how the plugins are located. Are the plugins in their own directories in the plugins directory, i.e.,
PS VinsWorldcomT@..\notepad++\plugins> tree .\HexEditor\ .\HexEditor\ `-- HexEditor.dllFYI: I’ve been using HexEditor 0.9.5 in N++ every version since 6.something. I certainly worked for me in all the versions mentioned here, 7.5.9, 7.7 and 7.7.1.

HexEditor plugin for Notepad ++ … is a child’s toy!
I use full editors! -
The “silent” installation switch (/s) doesn’t seem to be working anymore.
-
@MichielOverweel For the installer
nsis, the key/shas not been canceled!
start /wait setup.exe /s -
@andrecool-68 I’m using the installer that’s available for download (npp.7.7.1.Installer.x64.exe). When I start that one with the “/s” switch, the installation runs interactively instead of silently. This used to work up to version 7.7.
-
@MichielOverweel Run this:
start /wait npp.7.7.1.Installer.x64.exe /s
Or so:
npp.7.7.1.Installer.x64.exe /s -
@andrecool-68 Yes, that’s what I’m doing. Have you tried this yourself? Does it work for you?
-
@MichielOverweel
It always works for me!
I can run any installer from the command line! -
@MichielOverweel If this is a big problem for you, then use this utility:
https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Launchers-Shutdown-Tools/Silent-key-finder.shtml
She can install the installer in stealth mode, and show the keys for a silent installation. -
The menu command Edit->Line Operations->Sort Lines as Integers Ascending broke in this 7.7.1 (64-bit) release. I.e., it does attempt to sort the lines, but the ordering is off. I can’t figure out exactly what ordering it is applying, but while ordered in some fashion, it’s clearly not correct.
It was working in 7.7, and when I reverted to 7.7 from 7.7.1, it began working again. So it’s definitely a regression in 7.7.1. I can provide a longish (140KB) file containing a list of IP addresses that reproduces the issue, if necessary.
Thank you.

@MichielOverweel, you need to use
/Sinstead of/sflag for silent mode installation. Mind capitalShere. -
@SinghRajenM That did the trick. Thanks!

@MichielOverweel , Thank you! Glad to know that it helped you. Just for your reference, actually it is not a trick, but nsis installer design behavior.
From Nsis developer reference doc
There are several methods to make an installer or an uninstaller silent:- SilentInstall and SilentUninstall
- SetSilent
- Passing /S on the command line (case sensitive)
However, (from developer perspective) there are ways to make
/Sflag case insensitive (e.g. parse command line parameters and take care of/Sor/s). Even in most of commercial s/w (at least which I developed or worked upon), command line flag is case insensitive.Once I get time, I will try to create a PR to make command line flag is case insensitive. Hope that may come in next release, if @donho likes.

I’ve deployed many Notepad++ versions using the “/s” (lower case) switch without issues. I understand that the switch is supposed to be “/S” (upper case) and that this is by design, but up until version 7.7.1, it has always worked using the lower case switch, so I still feel that something has changed in this version. Anyway, I’m happy to use the upper case switch from now on.

@Michael-Vincent that fixed it, thx for the info!
