Notepad++ 7.8 Release
-
Related to this, possibly, although you don’t appear to have multiple ? :
23. Fix command line issues where filenames have multiple white spaces in them. -
@Alan-Kilborn no, just one white space. I just noticed that this is more severe. NPP openes all! other files in the same and in subfolders if one single file is opened. desktop.ini (from my posting above) was opened because it was the only other file on my desktop…
At least for me (or my current config) a no go -
I guess maybe you want to make a bug report.
-
I felt sad that my plugin added to nppPluginList was not reflected in 7.8.

When syntax highlight is enabled (e.g. C source code) and you check the global override Enable global bold font style box for keywords and some other characters will be less thicker. Is this normal? Here are the screenshots:
Just check the case keyword, dots, semicolons, equal signs and curly brackets
It happens with most of the font types, and as far only if syntax highlight is enabled. Is this normal?

“3. Add “No to all” and “Yes to all” options in Save dialog.”
Regression: The Yes/No/Cancel buttons used to have hotkeys so that single keystrokes could give a command on how to proceed. In 7.8, “Y” and “N” are ignored, while “Escape” still works. This is a showstopper for me; back to 7.7 for that basic usability feature. Also for standard usability, the new “All” buttons need to have their own hotkeys.
It appears the new “X to all” buttons are available only after the “Close All” command; in case of the “Close” command, they are greyed out. User interface principles say that buttons that are never available in certain circumstances should not even be visible in those circumstances. If “Close” and “Close All” are going to be two separate commands, then the corresponding dialog functionality/discoverability should also be different. If “X to all” is going to be not-available after “Close” then the “All” buttons should be not-visible after “Close”. Or, if “X to all” is going to be available after “Close” then “Close All” should not be a separate command. In short, the decision of all-versus-one should be made only once, or should be made available as often as possible. But showing that different functionality is available only if User backs up and starts over, that’s just maddening.
From experience, custom buttons can be added to the Windows-standard Common Dialogs instead of writing custom dialogs; it just takes some more subclassing and API work to do so.

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t interpret the meaning of your question correctly.
I think the problem you are referring to is more of a problem with the plugin itself.
Please post your detailed questions. -
@donho a regression in 7.8 is explained https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/6211
-
Seems like that github issue stands on its own and doesn’t need to be called out here? Regressions happen; not the end of the world. :-)
-
@Alan-Kilborn 7.8 auto update yet not triggered. So it can be stopped at this moment before its wide spread via auto-update.
-
Again, not a huge problem. RC period is over. 7.8 is out. Let it go (IMO).
-
I’ll make it optional in the future release.
-
It’s still a regression (and quite important) though. @SinghRajenM made a good point on it: the binaries contain regression should not be distributed via auto-updater.
Thank you & well done.

Perhaps these days “auto updater” is a “bad idea” to have at all…

I suppose everyone has features in mind that they consider important. How come you glossed over this one (apparently from Middle-Earth) that might be more important to a quantity of users than some obscure command-line parameter:

The global bold thing is a bug. Just check it yourself . . . -
I was under the impression that you have to tick Bold from Font Style as well
if you want to enable the global bold font style.
Am I wrong?
