Notepad++ v7.9.3 Released

[Michael Vincent]

@Michael-Shulist said in Notepad++ v7.9.3 Released:

I should note that there are two DLLs in the QuickText folder, QuickText.ANSI.dll & QuickText.UNI.dll. So I removed each of those separately and tested to see if anything changed.

Seems you’re using a very dated version of QuickText, though you were using my updated one .

You can forget ANSI, Notepad++ does not support ANSI plugins anymore. Generically, your DLL name (minus the .dll extension) must match the containing folder in the plugins/ folder.

SO:

plugins/QuickText/QuickText.dll
plugins/QuickText.UNI/QuickText.UNI.dll
plugins/MyWeirdPluginName/MyWeirdPluginName.dll

Hope helps clarify.

Cheers.

@Michael-Vincent Ok I think I’ve done it.
Originally I had used the Quicktext version in my prior installation but updated it to release QT0211 for use in NPP793, however it was from this repo .
Following your advice I managed to get it properly installed and running. I did stumble across a few minor issues in the repo instructions which I will update at some point.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

@Michael-Vincent Also if it this is the repo that NPP793 uses in the Plugins Admin then of course my original issue relating to the Plugin Hash mismatch still exists.

I think it’ll be fixed in the next version:

“Find in Files” issue, seems new:

1. Open the “Find in Files” dialog
2. Select a directory
3. Search for files
4. Close the window
5. Delete/move the directory from step 2
6. Open the “Find in Files” dialog again
7. Try to select another directory using the ellipses (“…”) button

Expected: Folder selection system dialog appears

Actual result: nothing.

1. The document map displays like this:
   
2. The title of the document map window does not respond to changes in language settings, a restart is required.
3. JSON syntax has no highlights, using Java syntax instead.

@László-Botka I’m facing the same issue, so I revert back to the 7.9.2 version and now working fine.

Unable to open files using a UNC path - the leading “\” is changed to just “”. This problem did not exist in 7.9.1. Running on Windows.

[kosigan5]

@kosigan5 - that should be “\\” and “\”

I believe this is a known issue and will be fixed in the next release.

@Alan-Kilborn - OK, thank you. I didn’t see it on this list.

Dialogues like “File Open” or “Save As” do not open up at all when installed on Windows Server Core 2016, no issue with Server 2016 Core machines where 7.9.2 is still installed.

Ok, I’ll take a look once I get a VM for this OS version.

Which way do you use Notepad++? Do you have a desktop?
I’m not very familiar with Windows Server Core, but it seems that by default, it has no desktop GUI:

@kickapoo Here is an issue I’ve created: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9621
Please, post any comments in that issue.

@mere-human

Thanks, yes, that´s right, Core Editions have no Desktop environment, you only have a commandprompt.

I use the 2016 Core image as it is in AWS EC2, additionally installing .NET 4.8 for testing my applications and also Chocolatey, which is also used to install npp (https://chocolatey.org/packages/notepadplusplus ). Tried also downloading and installing manually, made no difference.

Npp is used for looking at log files, nothing fancy, started via commandprompt simply by typing notepad++.exe. Also the dialogue can be used for file operations to easier copy/move files between the vm and my local machine, as there is also no Windows file explorer like explorer.exe on board.

Note: On „regular“ notepad.exe that comes with Windows, those dialogues open without issues.

Could you check if your problems in v7.9.3 are solved in v7.9.4 (RC) ?

Re: Notepad++ v7.9.3 Released

View --> “Hide Line Number Margin” doesn’t work anymore. The line numbers stay visible, they don’t disappear. In my former version v7.9.1. it works.

Please solve this in v7.9.4. Until then I use v7.9.1.

AFAIK, there is no “Hide Line Number Margin” on the “View” menu.
So… don’t know what you’re talking about. The control for the line number margin is in Settings menu > Preferences… > Margins/Border/Edge and looks like this:
