Notepad++ v8.7.1 Release Candidate

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.

It’s fixed in the commit: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/93ecbb004c8a216d17a8b940572a388f010c94ee

RC3 is available now.

Not fixed in RC3(?!):

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 !

@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).

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 have tested again with your scenario, but cannot reproduce it.
What am I missing?

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.

Thank you for the explanation.
I do belive it’s fixed in RC4

Perfect, now it is ok, thanks.
Not clearing that time-info, only not showing it for !DOC_UNNAMED tabs is clever & universal.

As I mentioned before - the localization of Global override is cut off. Check some of the localizations like Български, Deutsch, Hrvatski, Español and some others.

I will make as large as possible for some checkbox (without enlarging the dialog width) in the next release. Please find other shorter words or the abbreviation for the translation.
