Notepad++ 7.9.2 RC

Mr-Update

Hello!

If the folder %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\functionList with xml files exists, the installation of Notepad++ 7.9.2 RC does not replace any existing xml files.

Isn’t that the desired behavior? I mean, if you’ve modified any of the files, you wouldn’t want the install to overwrite those mods, right?

No, it should work as described in #9134 by donho:

"The new behaviour of loading function list will be:

For the installer package:
Try to load from %APPDATA%\Notepad++\functionList, if it failed, then load from %PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\functionList.
In this way, users can override function list in %APPDATA%\Notepad++\functionList\ manually. Otherwise, function list won’t be empty."

I can reproduce it by double-clicking on “download”. It’s a regression definitely.
Thank you for your report, I’ll try to fix it in the short term.
