    I have 2 PCs, an HP Envy desktop and a Dell Inspiron laptop. Both are running Windows 10 Home 21H2.

    I’ve updated both to Notepad++ v 8.3 and both have the same plugins installed. However, whenever I start or shutdown NPP on the HP, I get an error that I have to click through to open or close NPP. The error states “An exception occurred due to plugin: nppAutoDetectIndent.dll” and the next line says “Exception reason: Access violation”

    If I uninstall nppAutoDetectIndent.dll, I still get the same errors until I delete the nppAutoDetectIndent.dll subfolder. Then, it works without errors.

    Please help me as I use NPP quite often and always with Auto Indent enabled.

    Thanks,
    Clem

      @clem-patafio ,

      As I answered here, you will have to contact the owner of the plugin (link provided in the other post) and ask them to fix the plugin to work with v8.3.

          When I edit documents locally, it seems stable. But when I edit files remotely in WinSCP the problem comes back and the switch that you tipped over comes in handy. Thanks.

            Hi folks,

            i found a bug in the current x64 bit version of notepad++ the silent parameter for the directory relocation (/S /D=d:\otherfolder) does not work.
            It is possible to fix this annoying issue?

            Best regards,
            Frank

                FYI:
                If you have somethings-else to say, speak out in Boycott Notepad++. All the subjects unrelated to bug/regression report of v8.3 will be delete and banned.

                    Notepad++ v8.3 installed.

                    When in PHP language, starting to write a command already known, it shows the list. if I see the autocompletion needed, i search with [ARROW UP/DOWN]+[ENTER].
                    i remember that before, the command was autocompleted.
                    now, it does a single “chariot return”.

                    for instance, i want to write “public $my_data;”
                    so let’s start … : “pu”
                    d0629e69-e06f-4d12-b469-c4ac7ee08749-image.png
                    public is selected, so let press [ENTER]
                    e53e55a3-70e6-4d8f-817e-a5241adc8b15-image.png
                    why do we need to do [CTRL]+[ENTER] to get the same result ?

                      @romain-bocquiau ,

                      It was not Ctrl+Enter before: in previous versions, either the ENTER key or the TAB key would select the active choice from auto-complete. Starting in v8.2.1, the Developers added an option to configure whether it was ENTER or TAB or either (in Settings > Preferences > AutoCompletion); but because the option defaulted to TAB=on and ENTER=off, which changed the default behavior of Notepad++, it has confused a lot of users. You should go to that option, and ☑ ENTER, which will re-enable using ENTER to finish the auto-complete.

                        @peterjones Oh, thanks. I was confused because in config page it still showed “Enter” as the key to autocomplete, so I couldn’t understand what was going on. Well this behavior is great anyways, so I’m glad its staying.

                                which @Hercules-Queiroz-Palombo can confirm using the v8.3.1 Release Candidate

                                  As always, dude, thanks for all your work on this great editor!

                                  Considering the many improvements in 8.3 (and 8.3.1), I don’t understand why v8.2.1 said “no update is available” when I checked from within it. Would more frequent auto-updates require too much bandwidth?

                                    So this is a PERFECT example of exactly why it says no update is available.

                                    8.3+ introduces HUGE file support, which caused a lot of new bugs to be introduced. Developers are working through the bugs, but probably at this point it isn’t a great idea for every single Notepad++ user out there to migrate to these versions. Just my 2c.

                                        There are “release candidate versions”; click HERE and glance down the list produced, and you’ll see them.

                                          So why dont you release it marked as a beta version ?

                                          Because this is the sequence that the developer usually follows:

                                          1. Develop updates
                                          2. Submit as Release Candidate (RC) version
                                          3. Wait for feedback from those users who are willing to download a RC version
                                          4. Iterate 1-2 until no “critical regressions” are reported
                                          5. Release as official version
                                          6. Wait for feedback from those users who are willing to download the released version without waiting for auto-update to be triggered (much larger number of people)
                                          7. Do a faster loop back to step 1 if critical regressions found after #4
                                          8. If no critical regressions found in #5, then trigger auto-update

                                          The goal is for critical regressions to be found in #2 (the equivalent of “beta”), but not enough users download the RC/beta versions, so sometimes critical regressions are not found until #5. This happened to be one of those cases. Since the developer likes a fast-paced release cycle anyway, he feels that the current process works reasonably well – and the delay between #4 and #7 prevents “too many” people from downloading the release if a critical regression is found within a week or two of release.
