TextViz - hide lines without clipboard text do not work
-
Notepad++ v8.4.4 (64bit)
TextViz installed from plugin admin
NppTextViz 0.4.2press the Hide lines without clipboard text will close the application.
Thank you very much for your effort and help.

Unfortuantely, the author of NppTextViz has not updated the plugin in a couple of years. And in the last few months, Notepad++ has updated the interface definition between Plugins and the main application, meaning that NppTextViz is no longer compatible with Notepad++ v8.4. and newer. Convincing the author of that plugin to make an update is the only way to fix the problem.
Alternately, I think the “hide lines” feature was one of the features that TextViz duplicated from TextFX; as such, maybe the NppTextFX2 plugin will work for you – and if it has a problem in the implementation of that specific feature, then you can file a bug report in the NppTextFX2 repository, as that maintainer has been active (at least recently), so might be responsive to requests for fixes. (As compared to plugin authors who seem to have abandoned their plugins a couple years and more than a decade ago, who are likely to ignore all requests for fixes.)

Not the only way. Someone has already fixed it and submitted a PR. You can simply build it and put the DLL in place. It works.

Well, that assumes some level of skill of the person doing that. Not everyone has that. Especially common in people posting questions on this site.
