      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.

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

        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.

                                  It’s “Change history” feature. Disable it and printing goes back to normal.

                                    @Michał-Łętowski Thanks. I mentioned that in my post, though maybe not prominently.

                                    This is being tracked on the “issues” forum. I should have posted there originally, but didn’t know better at the time.

                                      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.

                                        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.

                                            indeed it works now with only one instance.

                                            cool, thanks @all
