      @donho ,

      Unfortunately, @Craig-O-Neil has just reported a v8.4.7 regression in “New document | Default langauge not working for new NP++ instance”. I confirmed it and created the issue #12586.

          Windows 11 has intentionally hidden that away, to steer users into a single Open With application. You can see the old-style menu by using Show More Options in the Right-click menu, or using Shift+F10 instead of Right clicking.

          …
          Or see the user manual section on the right -click for Windows 11 on this page: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/other-resources/

              Yes, “enable smooth font” slightly changes how the font appears. this isn’t specific to v8.4.7, and is rather the point of the option.

                  @Mike7O ,

                  Windows ShellExecute is limited in the number of characters it will accept; this was true in v8.4.6 and is still true in v8.4.7, because it’s part of the Microsoft Windows win32-api definition for maximum command length.

                  You might consider not opening so many files from the same right-click from Explorer; then you can select the second half, and unless you have done something like telling Notepad++ to always open files in multisession, it will add the files to the existing Notepad++ window. Or just open the folder as a workspace from inside Notepad++.

                      still I was able to do it in previous versions … well now I know alternative ways …
                      googled and this was the solution

                      https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/10945/shellexecute-failed-2-is-this-command-correct-fix

                      so run as admin which some settings-changes required I will only do when I need 😎

                        Some times I find that the source is badly managed by notepad++.
                        As now I know that this can happen, when I find that the program has an inadequate behavior I delete the line and I retype it.
                        Example in the attached file, tittle should be in blue like the other keywords. I had to delete the line and reenter it.
                        This problem is unfortunately not reproducible.

                          @DomOBU ,

                          <tittle> is not an HTML tag, so it will not be styled as an HTML tag. The correct tag <title> would be properly styled.

                          f0c67ee4-6583-4f4f-9a1a-0935279d9098-image.png

                          If you want to make it more obvious that you’ve got an error in your HTML, you can go to Settings > Style Configurator > HTML > TAGUNKNOWN and change the foreground colour from black to red
                          e4a05f7f-5acd-4f02-ac2b-aa9c5c10f48f-image.png

                          This is not a regresion in Notepad++: it has always been like this. This is not a bug in Notepad++: it was intended to style invalid/unknown HTML tags differently than valid/known tags. This is intended behavior.

                            Thank you for your answer. You are right.

                            I didn’t know this “Style Configurator” feature which is very useful.

                              It seems that the word “download” is not recognized in the HTML files.
                              Is this an oversight?

                                @DomOBU ,

                                <DOWNLOAD> isn’t an HTML tag that I’m aware of. download might be a keyword in one of the web scripting languages (javascript, ASP, or similar), but I don’t know for sure.

                                But it’s not a regression in v8.4.7, and that’s the focus of this topic. If you have generic Notepad++ questions that aren’t specific to breaking-changes in v8.4.7, please create a new topic in “Help Wanted”

                                  I have tried in “Help wanted” but my post is considered as spam.

                                  The context is as follows:
                                  <a href=“the URL of the file to download”
                                  download=“the name you want to give to the downloaded file”>
                                  </a>

                                    You should be able to post elsewhere… probably just too high a percentage of your post was HTML without being inside the ``` markdown (using the </> button on the toolbar) so the forum thought you were trying to build HTML to spam us.

                                    But to simply answer your question: edit %AppData%\Notepad++\langs.xml, find the <Language name="html" section. In the <Keywords name="instre1"> element (which has href in the text), put download between dl draggable (so that it’s in alphabetical order) => dl download draggable, save, and reload Notepad++.

                                    6fa2b428-8388-4390-9eae-19ea8b72595e-image.png

                                    From there on out, your copy of Notepad++ will know the download attribute for HTML files.

                                    Further discussion on this should be in a separate topic.

                                        This thread is for the regression or critical bugs for the new release.
                                        For the bug report please do it in “General Discussion” or “Help wanted”.
