      When I attempt to save an XML file after editing it with the plugin “XML tools” the program goes not responding and crashes. I’ve tried uninstall/reinstall of notepad++, as well as an uninstall/reinstall of the plugin. when I uninstall the plugin everything is fine and I can save the XML file. It’s only when the plugin is present that the program crashes.

        It looks like you are using a newer Npp version that has introduced an ABI/API change and some plugins need to adapt to it.
        From what I see here, they are already implementing the changes.

          This does not happen for me. Please provide your Debug info:

          • Notepad++ ? menu and the “Debug Info…” menu item

          and the XML Tools version:

          • Notepad++ Plugins menu, “XML Tools” => “About XML Tools / Donate”

          For example, I’m using:

          XML Tools 3.1.1.12

          Notepad++ v8.3.3 (64-bit)
          Build time : Mar 13 2022 - 17:20:02
          Path : C:\usr\bin\npp64\notepad++.exe
          Command Line :
          Admin mode : OFF
          Local Conf mode : ON
          Cloud Config : OFF
          OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit)
          OS Version : 2009
          OS Build : 19042.1586
          Current ANSI codepage : 1252
          Plugins : XMLTools.dll

          Cheers.

              I have the same problem. Only with “savie as” XSLT files.
              Some additional information. The problem seems to occur if NP++ has been unused (but open) for a longer time (> 1 hour)

              My debug info:
              Notepad++ v8.3.3 (64-bit)
              Build time : Mar 13 2022 - 17:20:02
              Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
              Command Line :
              Admin mode : OFF
              Local Conf mode : OFF
              Cloud Config : OFF
              OS Name : Windows 11 (64-bit)
              OS Version : 2009
              OS Build : 22000.556
              Current ANSI codepage : 1252
              Plugins : ComparePlugin.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll NppHorizontalRuler.dll SQLinFormNpp64.dll XMLTools.dll

                I’ve asked but no one has supplied their XML Tools version.

                If there is no issue when running notepad++.exe -noPlugin and there is an issue only when XML Tools is installed, you’ll need to raise an issue at the appropriate place.

                Cheers.

                    Thank you! It appears you’re on the latest XML Tools version (as of this thread) and the latest Notepad++ from your debug info above (thanks for that). I would open an issue on the XML Tools issue page if indeed the slow to save only happens when XML Tools is installed.

                    If Notepad++ has no issues saving XML / XLST without XML Tools installed, then it is most likely an XML Tools issue that should be resolved in that plugin’s code.

                    Cheers.

                      Yes, I can confirm that it is the XML-tools lugin that causes the problem. When I remove it, it will save in seconds (it is a very big XSLT file), if I reinstall the plugin (via de plugin admin) the behaviour is back. Saving the same XSLT (under a new name) makes notepad++ “not responding”

                      What I now notice as well, is that when I crash the not responding notepad++ and restart it, it will save the file without problem, when I do save as again to another filename, it is back to not responding…

                      I will submit a bug report on the XML-Tools on github. Thanks.

                          I’m seeing similar issues when saving a large-ish (651k) XML file.
                          Notepad++ “hangs” for easily a minute or so before finally completing the save.
                          I do have XML Tools enabled, and (re)installed the latest v3.1.1.12 immediately after updating Notepad++.

                            Then follow the issue that @Luc-Verhoeven linked above. There’s already a potential solution there.

                            Cheers.

                              @michael-vincent and all,

                              Version d5b96276-0d40-4a72-8722-6599d8b04304-image.png is available on github and does solve my problem.

                              I do not know when the new version will be available in the plugin Admin, so I installed the dll manually in the folder plugins\XmlTools\

                                      FYI, I just installed the July 15, 2022 build (v8.4.4) and the bug is back. Following the advice of @joel-rodriguez I was able to save my files without locking up.
                                      Thanks,
                                      Nick

                                        This happened to me on 8.4.7. Disabling the options mentioned by @joel-rodriguez worked for me
