      What is the standard, or best-practice directory for storing custom XML plugins on Windows 10?

          It’s a custom syntax highlighter. It’s just an XML file. It works but I’m just curious as to where most people store these types of files on their local computer. Of course technically we can store it anywhere.

            Currently I have it stored in:

            C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\myplugins\myplugin.xml

              There is no general yes or no answer because this depend on the npp version and if portable or installed npp is used.

                Ah yes - thank you. I installed this with Chocolatey.

                What is your opinion on where I currently have the file?

                I just created a myplugins directory in the plugins directory.

                  Can you post your debug-info, which is available from the last menu item, the ? menu?

                      In this case you can either use directory C:\Program Files\Notepad++\userDefineLangs
                      or %APPDATA%\notepad++\userDefineLangs
