      In the past (years ago) I read that it is necessary to create an empty file doLocalConf.xml in NP++ installation directory to make NP++ portable:

      Read: to read and write all *.xml preferences files from/to installation directory.

      Is this still necessary?

      or does NP++ meanwhile automatically detect local preferences file?

        Yes.

          @Claudia-Svenson, I am wondering, What are you trying to achieve?

          The reason I ask is that it’s possible to run a “portable” copy of Notepad++ without a doLocalConf.xml file.

          You may want to review https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#configuration-files-location.
