Notepad++ v8.1.2 Released

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

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.
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):

@PeterJones Thank you. That was it.

Long-time user. Thanks for the Dark Mode options. I noticed the Plug-in Admin dialog box is not using Dark Mode. Not a complaint ;) Just an FYI.

Don responded to my comment about that in the 8.1.2 Release Candidate thread
