word wrapp settings are not saved
-
I use the portable version of npp 7.8.0.0. After starting npp the word wrap is disabled. When i enable word wrap and restart npp word wrap is disabled again. Is there any solution to save word wrap mode setting as always enabled?

I just tried with Notepad++ v7.8
Notepad++ v7.8 (64-bit) Build time : Oct 7 2019 - 00:55:55 Path : C:\usr\local\apps\npp-other\npp.7.8.bin.x64\notepad++.exe Admin mode : OFF Local Conf mode : ON OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit) OS Version : 1903 OS Build : 18362.418 Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll
When I exit with wrap enabled,
config.xml
contains the line<GUIConfig name="ScintillaPrimaryView" lineNumberMargin="show" bookMarkMargin="show" indentGuideLine="show" folderMarkStyle="box" lineWrapMethod="aligned" currentLineHilitingShow="show" scrollBeyondLastLine="no" disableAdvancedScrolling="no" wrapSymbolShow="hide" Wrap="yes" borderEdge="yes" edge="no" edgeNbColumn="80" zoom="0" zoom2="0" whiteSpaceShow="hide" eolShow="hide" borderWidth="2" smoothFont="no" />
When I exit with wrap disabled,
config.xml
contains the line:<GUIConfig name="ScintillaPrimaryView" lineNumberMargin="show" bookMarkMargin="show" indentGuideLine="show" folderMarkStyle="box" lineWrapMethod="aligned" currentLineHilitingShow="show" scrollBeyondLastLine="no" disableAdvancedScrolling="no" wrapSymbolShow="hide" Wrap="no" borderEdge="yes" edge="no" edgeNbColumn="80" zoom="0" zoom2="0" whiteSpaceShow="hide" eolShow="hide" borderWidth="2" smoothFont="no" />
Note it changes from
Wrap="yes"
toWrap="no"
.If you want a portable version to save settings between runs, you have to have write permission to the portable folder, including
config.xml
(and other such files) in that folder. -
Thank you very much!
The folder was write protected, after i set the permission to folder and files it still doesnt save the setting.
The config.xml was hidden, so i set it to visible and changed the setting Wrap=“no” to Wrap=“yes”. After restart npp the word wrap was enabled.
But then, if i disabled this setting with the button and restart npp the setting was enabled again (vice versa problem).Then i started npp one time with right click/admin rights and i noticed a change at the date from the config.xml file. From now on i can change the settings and everything worked now.
Problem solved with your help.
Thanks again :)
