francostellari Plugin Zip files will not unzip
-
Does anyone know why the francostellari plugin zip files available on the following page will not unzip?
https://github.com/francostellari/NppPlugins/tree/main/LanguageHelp
I have tried Windows Zip and also 7-zip
Win says file is empty, but it is 134KB
7-Zip says file is not an archive
Are github downloads available from any other source?

I think you accidentally downloaded the GitHub page, not the actual file.
At the URL you showed, with a list of .zip names, if you right click and SaveLinkAs from your browser, you will download the GitHub HTML page about the file, not the actual zipfile itself.
To get the actual zipfile, you need to normal click on that link (for example, normal click on LanguageHelp_dll_1v75_x64.zip) which will take you to another HTML page, which has choices to
Downloadthat file. Click thatDownloadbutton to actually save the real zipfile.

@PeterJones Thanks Peter
That seems to be the issue
It is strange that the right-click download action generates a file with a .zip extension instead of .htm or something
Anyway I have got the zip open now. Thanks
