Notepad++ v8.4.5 Release

[Vitalii Dovgan]

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.

FYI:
Auto-update has been triggered for v8.4.5

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?

@Bibliothecarius77

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?

[Bibliothecarius77]

@donho
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

@DomOBU said in Notepad++ v8.4.5 Release:

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”.

[Fruchtzwerg94]

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.

[Fruchtzwerg94]

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

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

Your question is a little bit confusing to me.

[Alan Kilborn]

@DomOBU @Fruchtzwerg94

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.

[Stefan Pendl]

@Eric-Payne
No problem here, the icon is still there after the update.

[Bibliothecarius77]

@donho
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…
