Notepad++ 7.9.1 RC

guy038 · Oct 27, 2020, 9:37 AM

Hello, @Don-Ho, and All,

Waouuuu ! What an avalanche of fixes, improvements and new functionalities ! I have not yet downloaded N++ v7.9.1 RC and I don’t know the version number policy but I think this version could have been called v8.0 !

Oh, I also noticed the time of your announcement : You’re very early ( around 5:30 am ), aren’t you ? Thanks you for your constant involvement with our beloved text editor !

Best Regards,

guy038

Thank you @donho and @pnedev for fixing this.

#8833 seems to break all existing themes

In addition, I cannot see how to set the margin background color from within the dialog.

I guess there needs to be “theme maintainers” like there are “localization” maintainers.

I cannot see how to set the margin background color from within the dialog.

Not a problem for me:

Ekopalypse · Oct 27, 2020, 12:27 PM

@Alan-Kilborn

How could it be that I don’t have it?

Ekopalypse · Oct 27, 2020, 12:33 PM

it is in stylers.xml

        <WidgetStyle name="Bookmark margin" styleID="0" bgColor="E0E0E0" />

but why isn’t it loaded in the dialog??

Ekopalypse · Oct 27, 2020, 12:37 PM

another one is

<WidgetStyle name="Fold active" styleID="0" fgColor="FF0000" />

If you’re using Obsidian as your previous picture seemed to indicate, you’ll need to add that Bookmark Margin to the Obsidian.xml them.

@Alan-Kilborn

I guess there needs to be “theme maintainers” like there are “localization” maintainers.

Yes, I thought that myself too. I’ve made available my Obsidian theme - please note there are some changes to the default “global styles” in my version. I also added languages that were not originally in it and updated all the other languages to match the “WordStyle” changes reflected in the stylers.model.xml (as of a few months ago).

Cheers.

Ekopalypse · Oct 27, 2020, 12:44 PM

@michael-vincent - the first one to demonstrate the issue, yes, obsidian.
But the second pics are with default theme.

Ekopalypse · Oct 27, 2020, 3:06 PM

I’ve downloaded a fresh x64 portable and there I did see the two missing entries. Then I compared the previous one with the new one and haven’t
found any differences, so I restarted the old one and now it appears there as well. Hmmm … strange.

@donho
@pnedev

Huge thanks for adding case insensitive lines sorting (Implement #4479). I ran several tests, the results were always as expected. Finally, this allows me to migrate to the 64-bit version of Notepad++ since I do not depend on the 32-bit plugin NppTextFX for case insensitive line sorting anymore.

Thank @pnedev , he found the solution. Not me :)

Nice catch.
It’s fixed in 7.9.1 RC2:

Thank @SCOTT SUMNER - it’s his implementation.

You’re very early ( around 5:30 am ), aren’t you ?

Rather very “late” :)
