        This is going to be hard. Even using a reclaimed directory of an old hard drive from my last laptop that died, My earliest foray into the NPP UDL was a saved from the Visual FoxPro UDL that I had saved that was dated 2/8/2011. I’d have to dig into my old desktops to be accurate about how long I’ve been using it, but at least with the laptops, I’ve used it since probably the 2008 version, since I have that file and another one newer 4/20/2012 on this laptop…my desktops last OS was Win 2000, and on one of them, I also have OS/2 installed. :-) So no telling how long I’ve been using Notepad++ for sure so I’m going to have to vote for the 2008 editions.

          I had some help for my digital archaeology.

          I knew the reason I found Notepad++ in the first place was because a coworker was encouraging us to buy licenses to a commercial text editor which has remote editing and column editing as essential to our workflow. I knew there must be an open source equivalent, so went searching. Notepad++ (which was shipping with the NppFTP plugin at the time) was the best free alternative I found.

          So I wrote it up on a group wiki page. That original wiki server is gone, but my writeup was transferred to the replacement, so I’ve still got the writeup available, showing that it was right around v5.7. And N++ has been my daily editor ever since.

            The oldest installer I have on my personal file server is 4.8.2 dated 2009, but I didn’t have a personal file server until several months (maybe years) after I started using Npp at work, so in short, my answer is “Duh… I dunno?” 😊

              Anyone else think that coloring in the background of the “progress bar” for a (currently) 0% choice is misleading? In the at-a-glace viewing, it makes it look like every category has some votes and this is not the case.

              Also, it would be nice to see a “total votes cast” field, instead of doing mental math to add up the number of votes for each category. The current number of views for this topic is 55 and the mental math shows 12 votes – not a high percentage for a poll with such an easy and fun question. :-(

                Two good points. I just put in feature requests for the poll plugin:

                • 0% bar
                • show grand total
