                Starting with 8.3 and 8.3.1 when I try to create a new file with different character set the software does not allow me to save directly. I need to click Save As in order save file.

                To replicate:

                • Open new tab on Notpad++
                • Without writing anything click Encoding menu and Character Sets
                • Choose any chracter set
                • Write or copy paste some text
                • You will see that Save button is grey and Save option under File menu is greyed out
                • I have to click Save as or Save Copy As option in order to create a new file.
                • After creating a new file with these options tab name does not change to the saved file name. For example it stays new 2 where as I saved my file as test.txt

                This was working fine on 8.2.1

                I am using 32 bit version. Did not test this on 64 bit.

                    In that case as you have said save button becomes active however when I save the file, the tab name stays new 1. Whereas it should be the name of the file.
                    Still I don’t think changing tabs should be a solution.

                      @john56099089,

                      Changing tabs is certainly not a solution.
                      I just wanted to add another point to your detailed report.

                      Thank you for finding it and sharing.

                        It’s fixed in https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/2321e648ae467cbecf8388f143ad71a86a05a472 .

                        The new release with the fix will come in a couple of days.
                        Sorry for the inconvenience.

                          Not sure if this is a regression or a modification in how the feature is implemented (if it’s the latter, I’d be interested in the documentation for this feature):
                          when adding syntax for a user-defined language, the comments are not highlighted.

                          Additionally, although it’s not a new problem: Notepad++ handles Fortran both in free-form and fixed-form. However the “f” file extension is associated to free-form: I believe it should be fixed-form, as explained here: https://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/File+extensions

                            A question: I’m using Notepad++ 32 bits, and I use heavily the TextFX plugin that is on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/TextFX/.
                            Has this plugin been updated for 64 bits and/or for the 8.3.1 version? Is the old version on SourceForge still working in 8.3.1? (apparently yes, but there might be known bugs)

                              Is ancient. There is no very good 64-bit version and most of the functionality has been incorporated into N++ or other plugins. I gave up using it years ago with no ill effects.

                              Cheers.

                                I know it’s old, but I really need the ability to sort lines, with all TextFX options: sort unique or not, case sensitive or not, sort at given column using a vertical selection. Is this built in Notepad++ or available in a maintained addin?

                                      means that one of your .net-based plugins is facing the problem of the recent API changes.

                                            I am having an issue with the UDL. I made a UDL for RenPy. It uses Python as it’s base coding language so I based if off your Python language file.

                                            Using # for comment line style doesn’t work. The way I have it set up is that the # is also an operator in 8.3 comments are green and as an operator it is red. I have it set that way because # is also used when setting a text color like this: “{color=#0f0} Some Text”.

                                            In 8.3.1 it doesn’t recognize the comment line so all # are red. Also when I import my UDL it resets the comment line style and there is no # in the comment line style open slot. I then type it back in but nothing happens when I do all the hash tags stay red.

                                            It is like it is completely ignoring the comment line style I even went back and forth between the two versions to see if I could get it to work and I couldn’t. I was using the installer version and it auto updated to 8.3.1 so now I am using the portable version so I didn’t have to keep installing and uninstalling it to see if I could get it to work.
