      Noticed that it also require a reboot when changing on/off

      Exiting and reloading Notepad++ is sufficient. You do not have to do a full reboot of the OS/PC.

      And you can turn off the feature without a restart; you only need to restart Notepad++ when you toggle it from off back to on.

        I’ve completed the latest CSV Lint 0.4.6 updates just yesterday. Is it possible to still include the latest nppPluginList in this Notepad++ release?

        I try to do the plug-in updates in between regular Notepad++ updates so that the Plugins Admin always has the most recent version (doesn’t lag behind too much), but it’s hard to keep it in-sync because Notepad++ doesn’t have a regular release schedule afaik.

          No. Probably should have prepared it during the RC phase, when it had a chance to get it.

            @Alan-Kilborn ok I understand, I’ll keep an eye on the Announcements posts more, and try to plan the timing of plugin updates better.

              First time posting, but longtime Notepad++ user.

              I’m having printing problems that began with the upgrade to 8.4.6. The printed page has black text on a dark grey background, making it almost unreadable. This behavior is also visible in “print preview”. It affects all files, including newly created test files.

              Printing returns to normal if I turn off “display change history”.

              Debug info below:
              Notepad++ v8.4.6 (32-bit)
              Build time : Sep 25 2022 - 19:55:26
              Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
              Command Line :
              Admin mode : OFF
              Local Conf mode : OFF
              Cloud Config : OFF
              OS Name : Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
              OS Version : 21H2
              OS Build : 19044.2006
              Current ANSI codepage : 1252

                I can confirm, something is broken.
                See comparing results with my AnalysePlugin
                https://sourceforge.net/p/analyseplugin/bugs/92/

                reason is that with commit 9455684b429449f668c1aedb77ec9dcb1642c244
                the value of the blue circle bookmark did change

                -const int MARK_BOOKMARK = 24;
                ...
                +const int MARK_BOOKMARK = 20;
                

                But this constant value is part of the Bookmark interface used in SCI_MARKERADD message.

                Proposal would be to change back the number, so that plugins can maintain using the blue bookmark as before.

                please, comment

                  Not going to happen. Plugins will need to adjust. The bookmark value needed to be changed to accommodate for change history feature from scintilla which uses that marker number (24).

                  Cheers.

                    Plugin authors should use NPPM_ALLOCATEMARKER to allocate marker ID, instead of using hard coded value:
                    https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/src/MISC/PluginsManager/Notepad_plus_msgs.h#L368

                    Here is its usage:

                    
                    int newId = 0;
                    BOOL isOK = ::SendMessage(nppHandle, NPPM_ALLOCATEMARKER, 3, (LPARAM) &newId);
                    
                    // If the value of isOK is true, you allocate your marker IDs successfully.
                    // Let's say newId is 4, so 4 is your marker start ID, and you have allocated 3 markers - 4, 5, 6 are the 3 IDs reserved in Notepad++ for your plugin.

                      That is good advice, but only for plugins creating something new. The reference here, as far as I can tell, is to the BookmarkDook plugin, which needs to use the same marker Notepad++ uses for (existing) bookmarks. As that is changed, the BookmarkDook plugin author will have to change as well.

                        So in this case, a new API NPPM_GETBOOKMARKMARGINID will be made for plugins which use Bookmark Margin.

                          However, I’ve just checked the ID of bookmark margin, there’s no change (_SC_MARGE_SYMBOL):

                            It isn’t the margin id, it’s the marker id.
                            It used to be 24, now it is 20.
                            @mattesh discussed this, above.

                              Thank you for pointing out the real problem.

                              NPPM_GETBOOKMARKID has been add in the master:
                              https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/4d5069280900ee249d358bc2b311bdb4b03f30a9

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

                                As of October 2, 2022 at approximately 3:00 PM MDT, after upgrading the 64-bit version of Notepad++ from 8.4.5 to 8.4.6 on my 64-bit Windows 11 Home laptop computer, any attempt to launch Notepad++ is met with a large red background with white text error box that says “This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for you PC, check with the software publisher”. The only button on that error message says “Close”.

                                Even downgrading to 8.4.5 does not work.

                                Even installing the 64-bit portable version from a ZIP file does not work.

                                Notepad++ is the ONLY application of the nearly 100 applications (good mix of regular and “Store” apps) that can no longer run on 64-bit Windows 11 Home edition as of October 2, 2022 at approximately 3:00 PM MDT.

                                  It can and does run on Windows 11 Home.

                                    Have you updated automatically or manually?
                                    If manually, have you used the x64 or the ARM64 installer?
                                    If your system does not have an ARM processor, you will need the x64 installer.
                                    Also always use the official download site at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

                                        Seems like you should create an issue so developers see it; see some instructions HERE for doing so.

                                          It works just fine if you use mailto:username@domain.com per the mailto URI standard. So if you use correct syntax, Notepad++ still knows what to do with it.
