Location Navigate x64

Gurux13

I really miss the navigation back/forward in Notepad++.
The Location Navigate plugin is 32bit only, and my NPP is x64.
So I spent some time and built the plugin for x64. Limited testing shows that it works.
Warning: This comes with no guarantee. All the usual disclaimer stuff, but this time important. I’ve built it with CRT secure lib disabled (otherwise it wouldn’t build), so it is technically possible that some aspect became less secure. I don’t exactly know whether it’s the case. Use at your own risk. Considering what it actually does I estimate the risk as minimal, though.

The file: https://github.com/gurux13/LocationNavDll/blob/main/LocationNavigate.dll

Since it’s a binary, here’s virustotal. Please do verify it yourself for peace of mind.

Note: this claims no IP rights/copyright for the plugin. I have not modified the code in any way except to make it x64 buildable. All rights belong to the respective parties. Legal stuff blah blah.

Amendment: built with secure CRT support and also fixed the dialog (it was broken).
The dll link is the same, the virustotal is new.

The disclaimer about no guarantees still applies, though.

Why not put the code there as well so we can see the changes you made to get x64 working. I tried in the past and was unsuccessful so I wrote my own similar plugin based on the original’s code.

Cheers.

There is no license attached to the source code, which makes it problematic to redistribute.
There is someone else who apparently succeeded with x64 and shared the code: https://sourceforge.net/p/locationnav/discussion/general/thread/899f4d9939/

I solved a similar task (navigating through the code, moving to a definition, to a function, to a class) in my project (https://github.com/trdm/jn-npp-script).
the solution is written in javascript so it does not depend on the bitness of the OS.

There is no specific LICENSE.txt file, but all the code has a header that includes:

//This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
//modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
//as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
//version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

and it’s basically modified files from the Notepad++ plugin template structure which also bear that notice. I’m not a legal expert, but I’m pretty sure you’re OK to clone the publicly available source code to your GitHub, make modifications and re-release so long as you don’t change the existing “license”.

Cheers.
