Notepad++ v8.1.2 Released
-
I have Vista Enterprise in a VM and tested Save As. As @David-Sperduto wrote, I was not able to input a new filename, the dialog just hangs. Same with Save a copy as.

Let’s see if there are others Vista users have the same problem before getting into it.
I need a local VM to understand what’s going on.
I was expecting the modern File Dialog to work fine on Vista since MS says that in the doc:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlgbox/open-and-save-as-dialog-boxes[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]

So here is the video from Vista VM. I type into the file name edit box, but nothing happens.

I can take a look at the problem and try several things if someone creates an issue on GitHub.
But I won’t promise anything.
I’m not able to hook up a remote debugger to Vista VM (it works fine with Win 7 VM). -
IIRC, this is the first complaint received about the file dialogs and Vista, even though the file dialog change-out was a bit of time ago. To me this says the number of Vista users is low, probably. If it is not any easy repair, perhaps time to leave Vista behind?

@mere-human Sorry, I’ve been offline for a couple days. I’d be happy to try to create an issue on GitHub, although I’ve never worked on GitHub before so it may be a bumpy ride.
If I’m the only Vista user in the Notepad++ universe, and it’s a headache to make this work, I’m happy to go back a version. For my purposes, Notepad++ knocks it out of the park every day for me, as it was!
Thanks -
@mere-human Apparently GitHub also does not support Vista. Can’t set up an account. Just get a malfunctioning registration page. Can this really be the end?..oh well…some day I’ll upgrade to W10 but can’t get to it right now. Which Notepad++ version should I go back to?
-
Nevermind. Here is the issue I created: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10238
I have a fix which turns out to be simple. Let’s see if it gets approved. -
Just upgraded. It appears that the “Search/Mark All” feature now doesn’t work if you select a whole line or more. It works with the “Search/Mark One” feature, but this is less useful.
-
@Jason-R-Mayberry. FYI: I had to go back to 7.9.5 for this to work again.

Did you go to Settings > Preferences > Highlighting and turn off “Match whole word only” in the new “Mark All” section? Because with that on, it will only mark all if you’ve selected one word; with it off, it will mark all for partial words or multiple words
-
@mere-human Thank you for giving it a shot !!
-
@David-Sperduto @dinkumoil
FYI, the fix is included in the master and it will be in the next release:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/a0c15274f54f388dadabf5231cec8cbfc23fa286Thank you @mere-human for the prompt fix!
-
@donho Yes, thank you @mere-human and @donho. Very cool !! I have used Notepad++ for years, and almost every day. Very handy for the things I do.

I found a regression introduced in V8.0.
Mark all feature is no longer configurable through “find dialog settings”. It was wery convenient to configure it through “find dialod settings”, in a same way like smart highlighting.
Please consider to set it back.https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10195
cheers
Christophe@donho what about the regression I’ve found. Is there any chance to have a follow up on this ? Here is the feature request https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10195
Thanks -
Hi,
I don’t know if this is a problem with v8.1.2 or with >v8. When using Search & Replace for large files (5 million lines, 11 characters each line - replace 2 characters on each line) I’m waiting 15-20 minutes without progress and have to stop notepad++ hard.
I now downgraded to 7.9.5 again (from which I updated) and the same procedure takes about 3-4 minutes.
-
Can you provide some information on what type of search/replace you do?
Regular expressions or normal text search?
This would give an indication of what to look for and how to replicate it to see
if this is really a problem with Npp or perhaps with a plugin you are using
that is having problems with the current version of Npp. -
Example: Each line looks similar to this (random letters): ABC;DEF;GHI. Now I want to replace “;” with “” (empty String)
These are my Settings (for 8.1.2 and 7.9.5):
