notepad++ mass save

[sdsds rgdsfds]

so in notepad++ I have a massive document list which is 40 documents in total. I want to save all of them so like what I mean is I want to save the document list, like export each document without going one by one, so what must I do

You say “save all of them” but then you also say “export each document”. These are two different things.

Do you want to:

1. Save the documents (as in, you have them open in Notepad++), and you want to save each of them without having to click on each tab
   • If so, the File->Save All command from the main menu should work.
2. Export the documents (as in, create a new copy of each document, or export it to a different file format)
   • If so, this is a job for a scripting language like Python. You could use PythonScript, but in most cases like this it is just easier to write a normal Python script and run it from the command line without getting Notepad++ involved.

I think OP has accumulated “new 1”, “new 2”, …, “new 40” (not really a smart way to work), and now wants to save them all to hardnamed files, without being prompted for a filename for each, if he invokes, e.g. a Save All.

Just a guess, though, as OP is rather light on detail needed to provide a good answer.

Or the simpler possibility is the 4th icon from left (Save All).

@schnurlos said in notepad++ mass save:

Or the simpler possibility

Does not help resolved the OP’s “problem” at all, if his tabs are (as I suspect) “new 1”, “new 2”, etc.

@sdsds-rgdsfds If you’re not too concerned about the file names, you can just copy the backups from %APPDATA%\Notepad++\backup to another location.
