I suppose it depends on what you need, maybe?

Either 32-bit or 64-bit works - I’ve used both. I now use only 64-bit.

32-bit has some “older” plugins that have not yet been converted to 64-bit so if you need one of those, you’re stuck on 32-bit until someone makes a 64-bit version of that plugin available.
64-bit has support for larger file sizes so if you’re using Notepad++ to analyze monster log files or something like that, 64-bit would be preferable.

I’m sure there are other arguments for or against 32- or 64-bit, but for me, I use Notepad++ everyday for everything, but rarely ever for a specially nuanced file size or plugin requirement that would force me towards one version or the other. For me - I’m on a 64-bit OS, so I use the 64-bit Notepad++ - no problems.

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

I agree with the comment above.
Use 64-bit by default only if you find there’s a 32-bit only plugin.
For me it was HEX editor. But that is in the past, and HEX editor now has 64-bit version.

I still miss the DBGp plugin. It’s written in Delphi which I don’t know at all and I contacted the original author and he said the libraries were outdated as well as him not having used Delphi in years he didn’t have a dev environment, never mind one that could compile 64-bit.

I had it working nicely for Perl and Python beyond it’s original PHP only intent. Alas, I now just use NppExec to hook external debuggers.

Wow, it’s interesting to know that you use Notepad++ coupled with a debugger!
