XML Plugin - Pretty Print

Tiago Jorge

Hi all,

I am currently having an issue when applying the Pretty Print on a single XML file, it goes through all open tabs (even in other views), applying the XML format to all files (either txt, json, sql…). I can see the tabs being highlighted until the one I have originally performed the formating This is very annoyng and I am currently using other Notepad++ instance (but same version) in other machine to do the formatting. Did some of you have this issue, any input on how to solve it?

Thanks!

@tiago-jorge ,

I cannot replicate.

I unzipped a fresh v8.2.1 portable, installed XML Tools, and created an XML file and a JSON file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?><html><head></head><body><p>here</p><div class="xyz"><p>contents</p></div></body></html>

{ "glossary": { "title": "example glossary", "GlossDiv": { "title": "S", "GlossList": { "GlossEntry": { "ID": "SGML", "SortAs": "SGML", "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language", "Acronym": "SGML", "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986", "GlossDef": { "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.", "GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"] }, "GlossSee": "markup" } } } }, "example": "hello" }

and have them both open in Notepad++.

I then activate the ex.xml and run Plugins > XML Tools > Pretty Print. The XML is made pretty; the JSON stays exactly the same.

I then added JSON Viewer and XML Treeview Plugins as well, and tried again. Still only affected the XML file, not the other.

Then i saw I was in 64bit, so I unzipped a 32-bit to match yours, and installed those three plugins. Plugins > XML Tools > Pretty Print still only affects the active XML I even opened a second XML file, and ran the Pretty Print in the first: it still only affects the active XML, and not the second XML or the JSON.

So I don’t know why you’ve had problems, but I cannot replicate.

@peterjones Thanks for your input.

I recall, that in the installation where I am having the issue, I work sometimes with XML files of around 2000 lines. And I have reached the Tab number 100 (althoug I am not currently having that amount of tabs opened) : )

I will try also to replicate this scenario in the installation where I am not facing the issue.

Re-install will also be an option if no further update arise. Because this plugin is very usefull to me.

Thank you.

Hi all, I’ve installed the new 8.3 64bits and applied the plugins and everything is working smooth now.

Thank you all and @PeterJones in particular.

… and for the records: I guess XML Tools plugin’s option Apply to all open files (available via the plugin’s menu entry) has caused this issue.
