If…you download it from the official download site…and not any hack sites that aren’t to be trusted to begin with.

I’d call it “warware”, or maybe “vandalware” is better. I’m not calling to use/boycott Notepad++, I’m asking author. Not you.
In case you can’t get it by yourself: writing a slogan to the user of the Notepad++ is a protest. Altering/destroying files is a vandalism and a crime. Spying is a crime.

“protestware”, “warware”, or “vandalware” - whatever its name, it’s a stupid move. Firstly not all Russians support this evasion. Secondly such action just make the software unreliable and it will lose people’s trust.
The voice of Notepad++ is used for some politics positions, but its quality will remain unaltered for everyone, whichever his (or her) ethnic group/nationality/region/IP address is.

It’s called “protestware”.

Did not know that, thanks. Stupid idea.

I am just curious - what do you precisely mean by “safe”?

The guy’s implying that Notepad++ could be booby-trapped with politically motivated exploit code.

Don’t try to be cheeky with a troll; just point them to the Boycott Notepad++ topic next time.

I turn off that option, then when I create a new document it’s on again. Wft

See my reply your other post.

FYI, I don’t want to see it when I type. It’s not just about printing. It’s majorly distracting to me.

the feature is great

The change-history feature IS great, but it is new to Notepad++, and like a lot of new non-trivial features, it will have its share of minor troubles until it is mature. The currently-known issues with it are slated to be fixed with the release of 8.4.7.

Not removed, but rather, moved into a submenu, so one extra click each use.

And there’s also the option of assigning the action(s) you care about most to shortcuts.

The deal breaker is the removal of copy filename / directory name, full filename to clipboard. I use these on a daily basis, eg. #include “just_the_filename.h”

@Alan-Kilborn
Thank you for pointing out the real problem.

and the new API will be available in the next release.

FYI, Mr. Dook has implied he will update the plugin when the new API is available (see here).

cool, thanks @all

why isn’t the setting:
backup -> enable session snapshot and periodic backup
remembered?
every time i restart np++ i have to set this again.

You’re probably using multiple instances. That setting is automatically turned off in a second instance. If you quit the first instance first, then quit the second instance, the settings of the second instance are remembered.

This is being tracked on the “issues” forum.

I think possibly here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/12281

I should have posted there originally, but didn’t know better at the time.

IMO you posted in the correct place. This current thread is for (new) problems specifically with this release.
