Issues links point to “wingup” repository instead to the correct “notepad-plus-plus”.

Thank you very much for pointing out the problem!
Fixed now.

Hello, @don-ho and All,

I’ve just downloaded the Release candidate v8.7.1 64 bits portable and I think there’s a bug regarding the save of a new # document !

When using the Ctrl + S shortcut or the File > Save menu option, it correctly open the Save As dialog, with the Append extension option checked, at the bottom.

However, if you decide to change the default new_1.txt proposed name and type in Don ( for example ! ), when you click on the Save ( or Enregistrer in France ) button , the file is simply saved with name Don and not, as expected, with the name and its extension, i.e. Don.txt !?

Note that the problem remains the same if you, first, move the new 1 file to the sub-view !

Do I miss something obvious or is there a real problem ?

To end, note that my previous portable installation, on my Win 10 laptop, was N++ v8.6.5 64 bits

Best Regards,

guy038

I can reproduce this in 8.7.1 RC.
It is a regression introduced into that version (as 8.7 does not do this).

@guy038 Try removing plugins!

@Artur-Harison said in Notepad++ v8.7.1 Release Candidate:

Try removing plugins!

Please understand that “I’ve just downloaded the Release candidate v8.7.1 64 bits portable” implies a fresh unzip of portable Notepad++, without any extra plugins installed, and thus “try removing plugins” is meaningless advice to someone who was already savvy enough to try the testing in a portable copy of the release candidate. The problem that @guy038 found, and that @Alan-Kilborn confirmed, has nothing to do with plugins, but is an actual regression in v8.7.1.

update:
@donho , not only have I confirmed it with no plugins (not that I thought any of the three plugins were the culprit), but i have confirmed it happens if you do a Save As on an existing file (like change.log) as well – the Save As dialog seems to be ignoring the Append extension checkbox. That’s definitely a killer regression.

Alan Kilborn

@donho

Not strictly a regression for the RC for 8.7.1, but this is a bug in recent versions that I’ve spent a lot of time digging into, and only recently found its origins:

BUG: Uncheckmarked ‘Enable Copy/Cut Line without selection’ makes Ctrl+c in ‘Search results’ panel do nothing

Perhaps that can be fixed for 8.7.1 as well?

EDIT: Perhaps most people leave Enable Copy/Cut Line without selection “on”, but I can’t stand this…because I often have my caret on an empty line and am intending to hit Ctrl+v to paste…but I accidentally hit Ctrl+c instead, putting only a line-ending in my clipboard buffer, and losing what I had there! :-(

The bug is fixed in RC2 (See the new link here).

Thank @guy038 for finding the regression; thank @Alan-Kilborn & @PeterJones for testing and confirmation of bug; thank @xomx for fixing the regression.

Hello, @don-ho and All,

Really sorry, Don, but there’s a problem with the session.xml and session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak files :-((

With Notepad++ v7.6.1 RC3, the number of files reported, in these two files :

         <mainView activeIndex="0">

contains, systematically, the value 0, instead of the number of tabs of the main view

With Notepad++ v7.6.1 RC3, the number of files reported in thse two files :

        <subView activeIndex="4">

Seems equal to the number of tabs of the secondary view, minus 1

For example, the contents of my session.xml file are :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

However, all the files, described in the session.xml file, are present, as expected, in their respective view !!

What is your feelings about my description ?

Hi, @don-ho and All,

I did some other tests and, now, the number of files, reported in the main view, is; correctly, a non-zero number. However this number is erroneous, as well as the number reported for the secondary view !

As you can verify, obviously, there are 4 files in the main view and 5 files in the secondary view. Despite of these results, it reports 3 files in both views ??

Hi @guy038,

I think this behaviour is correct like it is. The activeIndex property remembers the active tab you had selected (the tab you last looked at) at the respecting view while closing notepad++, so it can be restored at next launch.

Hello, @xomx,

As you positively reacted to the @markusbodensee’s reply, I suppose that my interpretation of the session.xml contents is somehow inexact !

Could you briefly explain me what I miss ?

Thanks for your cooperation and for the many fixes realized !

Best Regards,

guy038

Note that I generally read the session.xml contents with Microsoft notepad, AFTER I closed N++, to be sure !

xomx

@guy038

He is right. That activeIndex="..." is what its name says - a (zero-based) index of the currently selected tab in the view (so not the number of files in the view).

guy038

Hello, @don-ho, @markusbodensee, @xomx and All,

OH, MY GOD ! Thank you, @xomx for your explanations. I did not realize while reading @markusbodensee’s reply. Of course, I fully understand my so-called problem, now !

So Don, sorry for the noise. I always thought that these two numbers contain the total number of files of each view. Now, I understand that this information would be meaningless !

I was fooled by the fact that, when working on the most recent tab, the active index number is just equal to the total of files minus 1 of the current view, as it is a based-0 number !

Again, sorry for this exposed non-issue. I’m so unforgivable :-((

Best Regards,

guy038

I quickly checked your RC3 patch - all your changes are in/for the Notepad_plus::fileSave. This is not universal, as when I use the menu > File > Save As… (Ctrl+Alt+S), the Notepad_plus::fileSaveAs will be used instead.
