6907 through 6909 are the relevant ones.
Neither are present in the french.xml file for release 8.4.5.
Both ARE present, however, in the 8.4.6RC release, and it seems to be translating there:

If you want to keep using 8.4.5 for now, you can probably just copy over the french.xml file and then reselect your localization in the dropdown.

Your question is a little bit confusing to me.

Thank you for your answers.

I took a look at the xml files about this specific point:

• In the french.xml file, lines 1048->1053 there are the id 6901->6906
• In the english.xml file, lines 1051->1058 there are the id 6902->6909
• In the english_customizable.xml file, lines 967->971 there are the id 6901->6905

I don’t understand these differences.

in the French version a part of a screen is not translated

This relates to a new feature; see point 7 at the top of this announcement.

Sometimes translation for new features lags behind a release, as translation relies on others not involved in making the release. I would guess that this would be fixed in the next version, without your prompting, as the translators “catch up”.

For your information, in the French version a part of a screen is not translated (see attachment).
KInd regards

Could you zip the folder of %APPDATA%\Notepad++\ and send the zip to don;h@free.fr ?
I will try to reproduce the problem you have.

BTW, how did you update to the recent versions?
By using the installer?

Thank you for providing a superb text editor!

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to install any version after 8.4.1. I’ve tried removing all plugins (I only run with the default ones anyway) before updating to a newer version. I also tried removing all plugins and then uninstalling Notepad++ from my system before making a fresh install of a newer version.

The actual problem is hard for me to isolate, since after installing a version newer than 8.4.1, the application refuses to start. Windows’ Task Manager doesn’t show any N++ processes, as far as I can tell. This means I’m unable to give you the “Debug Info” for the newly installed version of the application. I can only provide the Debug Info for my 8.4.1 install.

Does anybody have a clue what could cause this behavior?

I’d say you should create a new [ISSUE]

Sure! Here we are:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/12141

I don’t know that # suggests “in selection”.

It was just a scratch :) I believe, in reality these buttons will use some images instead of raw text.

this compact dialog can be enhanced further by adding small (toolbar-like) buttons

I’d say you should create a new ISSUE for that behavior.

I would suggest a button for search mode might toggle thru the 3 choices every time pressed, e.g.

N 🡢 E 🡢 R 🡢 N 🡢 …

N=normal, E=extended, R=regex (letters might be easier on the brain than trying to express these in symbols), but if the VSCode/VizStudio way is now a standard, then go with that.

I don’t know that # suggests “in selection”.

And that’s all I’ve got to say as this thread is supposed to be reserved for critical issues with the new release, not feature requests.

Find what:    [             ]
Replace with: [             ]
[Aa] [|ab|] [\n] [^$] [#]

Here, [\n] means “Extended Search Mode” and [#] means Search In Selection.

“Regular expression” search, then the options for both “Match whole word only” and “Backward direction” are disabled

Nope, not a regression; that’s how it is supposed to be.

I installed 8.4.5 on 64 bit Windows 10 today and I believe I have found a regression. The issue is with find&replace. I find that if I select a “Regular expression” search, then the options for both “Match whole word only” and “Backward direction” are disabled.

Otherwise all search options seem to be fine.

I regularly use the 32 bit version in Win10 on a different machine. I will check later tonight whether the same issue presents itself there.

Again, thank you.
Neil

Thanks to you, and all the other contributors to this version.

Looking good so far.

(And no immediate complaints is usually a good sign)
