Notepad++ v7.8.5 released

[Alan Kilborn]

@Stefan-Travis and @guy038

This commit to the source code made it into version 7.8.5.

Doing some research on it, it appears that Stefan’s macro must have been recorded using the two-button Find mode’s “downward Find Next” button. The solution is, as Guy said, to change the 1723 to 1.

Deeper background:

It appears that, with the introduction of two-button Find mode (back around version 7.5.0-ish), two new but totally unneeded (and indeed, confusing) new macro value commands (1723 and 1724) we introduced. 1723 was for 2-button-find-next and 1724 was for 2-button-find-previous.

As macros already had direction control (via one of the 1702 messages bit-weightings, and there was already a FindNext (1701 command id = 1) that respected the direction control, nothing more was required.

It appears from the research I did that the removal of this is part of some future feature of Notepad++?

Anyway, anyone that recorded macros this way is going to have to rerecord them, or hand edit them to fix them. Here’s how this would be done:

If the macro uses 1723 in the 1701 message: Change the 1723 to a 1 and make sure that the 1702 message contains a 512 bitweighting.

If the macro uses 1724 in the 1701 message: Change the 1724 to a 1 and make sure that the 1702 message doesn’t contains a 512 bitweighting.

For info on “bitweighting”, see Guy’s excellent documentation above.

Alan, you’re an idiot: Everywhere in your previous post where you typed 1724, you really meant 1721. That’s the proper id for “Find Previous”. (1724 is the id for the checkbox for two-button-find-mode). Arrrrgh!

This is substantiated by the following from the source code’s FindReplaceDlg_rc.h file:

#define IDC_FINDPREV 1721
#define IDC_FINDNEXT 1723
#define IDC_2_BUTTONS_MODE 1724

With reference to the usermanual PR#75
I haven’t the notepad++ icon in the “Volume Mixer”.
I use n++ minimalist without installation.
Do you think this is my problem?
How can I do?

I did some experimenting and found that you actually have to run an unsuccessful search (and thus force Notepad++ to make its sound) before it will appear in the “Volume Mixer”. At that point, if you mute Notepad++ in that little applet, it will forevermore be silent on failed searches. A bit strange, but it works, and Windows remembers the choice. Not sure what Windows uses to remember it, though…would one have to do this on any new Notepad++ release? I didn’t care enough to investigate that further. :-)

@zh0so,

Even an animal, which, at every moment, must fight to eat and not be eaten, would not have the indecency to say such things !

In these exceptional times, when the Corrona virus is rampant all over the world, could you, at least once, make yourself useful, instead of wasting your time on such messages ?

As for me, as a moderator, I am obliged to ban your account.

“Turn off sound” checkbox to the Settings -> Program Settings -> Other screen?

In the middle of the night that sound scares the hell out of us.
BTW forcing to turn it off via the Volume Mixer settings of Windows as a workaround is not too professional way of solving it.

@Norbert-Kiss

The sound has always been there for an unsuccessful search!

Don’t believe there even WAS a way to turn it off before now.
