Notepad++ v8.5.1 Release Candidate
-
@PeterJones said in Notepad++ v8.5.1 Release Candidate:
Given that they are less-supported characters, it probably would make sense to use &#x-entities rather than characters
It makes sense.
Please do a PR (for the next release v8.5.2) if you want to. But please test the PR to make sure it works.@donho, since these aren’t regressions per se, would you like @conky77 and/or @Snabel42 to make official issues regarding the hover text for the button, and changing the localization files to use entities?
Sure, I will see what I can do about it in the next release.

@PeterJones said in Notepad++ v8.5.1 Release Candidate:
How do you add an arrow to something whose symbol is already literally an arrow character? And how would you suggest that the arrow be indicated so people know it has to be ctrl+click to get it. IMO, hover text would do a much better job of communicating that behavior than another arrow (and would probably help the user experience)
It’s a bit ugly, but it’s just a quick sketch. I think the idea is clear enough? (Click in the top third to copy replace to find, bottom third to copy find to replace, middle to exchange?)

@donho
How about adding a drop-down to the find dialog to display the exchange options.
Like it is done by WinMerge, see image below.

Hello, @coises, @don-ho, @peterjones and All,
I, personally, very much like the solution proposed by @coises which seems quite intuitive !
But, these specific arrows should not be very easy to display ?!
Best Regards,

Of course :
-
The
Copy Find to Replace
option needs a non-emptyFind
field -
The
Exchange
option needs non-emptyFind
andReplace
fields -
The
Copy Replace to Find
option needs a non-emptyReplace
field
Ah… I think that these actions should be possible in the
Normal
search mode only ! -

FYI:
v8.5.1 RC 2 which fixes the Windows 11 Explorer context menu entry “Edit with Notepad++” not removed after uninstallation of Notepad++ issue is available here:
http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/8.x/8.5.1.RC2/ -
FYI: RC3 is available.
The difference between RC2 and RC3 is:
RC2 use old NppShell.dll for the creation of “Edit with Notepad++” entry for old windows (10, 8 & 7), and it use new NppModernShell.dll for Windows 11.In RC3, only one NppShell.dll is used for the creation of “Edit with Notepad++” entry for all supported Windows.
For people who have Windows 7 (I have no Windows 7), please test installer and let me know if it works as usual.
Thank you!

@donho
O_o
If you about Flag in installer Context menu Entry, yes.
In RC2 is working. -
RC3 doesn’t add
Edit with Notepad++
on Windows 7, even if I restart theexplorer.exe
(x86 and x64 of Npp).
RC2 work as expexted, no need to restart theexplorer.exe
.Both RCs can not uninstall the
NppShell.dll
. The dll is still available.UPDATE:
The RC4 witch is not posted here work as expected. The
Edit with Notepad++
is available without restarting ofexplorer.exe
and the dll is removed after uninstall (x64).N++ x86 does not add
Edit with Notepad++
Note: The uninstaller does not remove the
tabContextMenu_example.xml
from%appdata%

FYI
The new release will be based on RC2, which is more stable than other candidates are.Thank you for your testing and report!
