@Douglas-Kaynor-0 ,

It works for me in v7.8.6 and now v7.8.7.

You aren’t in local config mode, so it should be using the AppData folder or the cloud. Do you have cloud settings enabled (Settings > Preferences > Cloud).

If not cloud mode, can you open Windows Explorer, and type %AppData%\Notepad++ into the explorer bar, does that folder exist? if so, is there a userDefineLangs subfolder?

if yes cloud mode, can you navigate Windows Explorer to the folder set in the preferences? and does it have userDefineLangs subfolder?

My path to the “User Defined language Folder…” is C:\Users\dkaynor\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLangs
There is a file in the above folder. The cloud radio button was enabled and set to C:\Users\dkaynor\OneDrive. Once I set it to No Cloud the link works. I checked my OneDrive folder and there are several Notepad++ files in it.

Thanks.

When I set a v7.8.6-32bit to not use local config, enabling cloud to a dummy “cloud” folder (not really a cloud folder), it populates that folder with the main config files, but not a userDefineLangs folder. If I create \path\to\cloud\userDefineLangs folder and put in the default markdown UDL in that folder and re-run, it does not include the markdown UDL in Notepad++ and the Open User Defined Language Folder… does nothing (doesn’t open the folder).

It looks like you’ve found a bug.

Please file a bug report as described in this FAQ, and paste a link to your issue in this thread.

Thank you.
