      I think you should create a version for MacOS as users like me also would benefit from the use of this app. Hopefully this is added in the next update.

        Very unlikely to happen for any future version. Notepad++ is built on libraries that only work in the Windows environment.

        There have been a few posts asking for a Mac version but thus far there has been no reference for any future release on the Mac.

        See also this post.

          This Version doesn’t work on Windows Server 2008:

          Error:
          Image 601.png

          Is it possible to fix this?

          I revert to 7.9.5.
          Witch Version is the latest for Server 2008?

          Please add in the download section always a compatibility list for the OS.

          PS:
          And the Plugin: compareplus does also not work on Server2008.

              @donho sorry couldn’t remember the version prior. But looks like the issue is with OS as I am getting the expected result on Windows Server 2012 using the same N++ version.

              This is what I expected with Multi-Instance enabled. Select multiple files, right click and Edit with Notepad++, files will then be opened in a single instance of Notepad++. Select another batch of multiple files, right click and Edit with Notepad++, files will then be opened in another instance of Notepad++.

                Could you create an issue here:

                I’ll work on it if the issue can be reproducible.

                    I too have the same problem - it was in the previous version - I updated to the next (this one) hoping it had been fixed, but no. Certainly cramps the way I use NP now.

                      Having said that, I’ve just rechecked setting Multi-Instance mode - it now looks like it’s working fine - so perhaps has been a Win11 problem? Great, I can work freely again!

                        Correction - it works fine if using a session file, but not when manually selecting some files, right-clicking, and then ‘Edit with Notepad++’. So at least there’s a work-around…

                          Sorry, I misread your message.
                          If multi-instance is enabled, it’s normal that “Edit with Notepad++” opens several files into several instances. So it’s the expected behaviour to me.

                          Prior to 8.5.3 whenever I select multiple files (by highlighting) and right click Edit with Notepad++, all of the files are opened on a single instance. Now with 8.5.3, all files are opened separately (new instance).

                          Could you provide the version please?

                            I guess you have also the problem of multi-instance settings with “Edit with Notepad++” problem.
                            What’s the old version which works to you?
                            I need to be able to reproduce the different behaviour to know if it’s a regression.

                              The culprit is NppShell.dll, an issue has been created:

                                If anyone else is mildly (or severely!) dissatisfied with the fact that non-printing characters and control characters no longer show up by default, here is an issue that I introduced
                                and here is the script that I created to show non-printing and control characters but not CR and LF:

                                from Npp import *
                                
                                notepad.menuCommand(44130) # toggle all non-printing characters
                                notepad.menuCommand(44131) # toggle all control characters (e.g., BEL, ENQ)
                                

                                I’ve done something similar, using the Customize Toolbar plugin to create a custom button:

                                View,Show Symbol,Show Control Characters  Unicode EOL,,*#4080C0:¶,*#4080C0:¶
                                

                                Note the two spaces between “Show Control Characters” and “Unicode EOL” and no ampersand![^1]

                                custom_button.png

                                [^1]: I spent a lot of time on this until I realised I could use the string from the Shortcut Mapper.
