      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++.

            @bruce-hansen said in Notepad ++ not responding when saving XML file:

            do have XML Tools enabled, and (re)installed the latest v3.1.1.12

            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
