      I do like the compact version of the Find/Replace dialog!
      I believe this compact dialog can be enhanced further by adding small (toolbar-like) buttons for Match Case, Whole Word and Regular Expresssions. I’m thinking about something similar to the find dialog of VS Code:
      alt text
      In case of Notepad++, I would rather place these small buttons below the Find What/Replace With field. Thus, having more horizontal space, additional buttons such as Extended Search Mode and Search In Selection may be added.
      E.g.:

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

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

        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.

          Sure! Here we are:

          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.

              Hello,

              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?

                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 helping me! I sent you my zipped APPDATA folder.
                  And yes, I always use the installer.

                    Hello,

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

                      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”.

                        Checking the french translation this can be confirmed.

                          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.

                            @DomOBU Not sure, but ID 6901 is not present in french.xml. Also line 1048 in french.xml is

                            <Item id="6615" name="Bas"/>
                            

                            https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/installer/nativeLang/french.xml#L1048

                            Your question is a little bit confusing to me.

                              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.

                                Since updating to 8.4.5, I’ve noticed that the pin to my Windows taskbar no longer has the icon present. Additionally, when I right click on the EXE file within file explorer it no longer has an icon there either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, so I’m not sure if this is a me problem or a package problem, but figured I would ask.

                                843e2c87-0bac-4ca8-84a2-7d9005699899-image.png

                                  No problem here, the icon is still there after the update.

                                    Any progress in this matter? The problem persists in version 8.4.6 and I’m still unable to use a newer version than 8.4.1…
