Can't open files with spaces in name
-
If a file is named something like “myfile copy.php”, it won’t open. Notepad++ displays three messages asking to create the file. Each message has part of the original name, like “myfile”, " " and “copy”. I have a program that creates names like that when I copy them. Is there a way to load them without editing the names?

How are you trying to open it? Right-click and open from Explorer should work just fine. You just need to put double-quotes around the name from a command prompt.
C:\> notepad++.exe "myfile copy.php"

@toubept ,
My guess is that your file association is wrong, and is running
notepad++with the arg%1rather than"%1"(with the quotes).You probably should search through your registry, and find instances of
notepad++ornotepad++.exe, looking for any that don’t put the quotes around the%1; any that you find, you should change to have the quotes.It’s like to look something like:
"c:\program files\notepad++\notepad++.exe" %1=>"c:\program files\notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1""c:\program files (x86)\notepad++\notepad++.exe" %1=>"c:\program files (x86)\notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1"
… or similar
