Paramètres ne s'enregistrent pas

Michel AUBINEAU

Bonjour,
J’utilise la version 8.5.4 64 bits sous W10.
Je suis surpris que les paramètres du theme (en l’occurrence blackboard) et de taille des icones de la barre de menu (icone ajourée grande) ne se mémorisent pas.
Ces paramètres sont-ils propres à l’application ou sont-ils liés au document sur le quel je travaille ?
Merci.
Cordialement.

Hello,
I am using version 8.5.4 64 bits under W10.
I am surprised that the parameters of the theme (in this case blackboard) and the size of the icons of the menu bar (large openwork icon) are not memorized.
Are these settings specific to the application or are they related to the document I’m working on?
THANKS.
Cordially.

@Michel-AUBINEAU ,

Are these settings specific to the application or are they related to the document I’m working on?

The “Theme” (Settings > Style Configurator > Select Theme) and “icon” settings (Settings > Preferences > General, in the Toolbar section) are remembered in the Notepad++ settings, and are global to Notepad++, not specific to individual files – so all files opened in Notepad++ will use the same theme and icon choices.

Notepad++ saves your choice when you exit Notepad++ after setting the Theme or Icon, and the next time you run Notepad++ it will use those same Theme and Icon settings.

If you believe that it is not remembering the Theme and Icon settings correctly when you restart Notepad++, then either you do not have write permission on your configuration files (check permissions on files in %AppData%\Notepad++\ for a normal installation); or you had multiple instances of Notepad++ open, and the last one to save its settings was still using the old Theme or Icon settings so that’s what got saved; or you have multiple copies of Notepad++ installed , and you are changing the settings on one copy of Notepad++ and then are surprised that another copy has different settings (like maybe one in C:\Program Files\Notepad++ which uses %AppData%\Notepad++ for its settings, and another portable copy unzipped in D:\myPortable\Notepad++ which stores its settings in the installation directory).

addition:

To verify the last idea: set your theme and icons as you want, and copy the info from ?-menu’s Debug Info and paste into your reply; then exit Notepad++ and restart the application: if the Theme and Icons went back to the original settings, then copy ? > Debug Info again. Paste both versions of Debug Info into your reply, and we can see if we see anything that tells us what’s wrong; otherwise, it will at least confirm which directory you should be looking in for the permissions

Also, a fourth idea is that you are sometimes running in Administrator mode (the Title bar for Notepad++ will say “Administrator” and the Debug Info will say “Admin Mode: ON”) and sometimes as your normal user. It may be that the Admin Mode version is using a different set of preferences than the normal-user version.
