So even in Windows 7, I cannot replicate your problem.

Me neither (64-bit Win7 SP1 VM):

So nothing I do replicates your problem. I am sorry.

I did another test on a virtual machine with a clean version of Windows 7 x64, launched the same directory with the new version of Notepad++, and there were no file opening errors at all.

Then on the main system I ran a disk check for errors

sfc /scannow

I checked the same directory again with the new version of Notepad++, and the file opening errors have disappeared for now.

Hopefully it will stay working. Good luck.

My paths in the registry are as straight as an arrow, this is a problem in Notepad++ itself. In previous versions, everything works perfectly!

There have been quite a few of vulnerability fixes recently, and some of them may affect older configurations. If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do about it.
In any event, I’m glad to hear the issue has been resolved with the latest version.
Next time, please mùake sure you’ve ruled out all local causes before accusing the software. Otherwise, it may turn out to be a classic PEBKAC situation.

Thanks a lot for changing the horizontal line in the lower part of the Find dialog! Now it’s continuous and looks much better.

To make it even more consistent, I suggest making the spacing between the vertical and horizontal lines and the edges the same. Right now it’s just a little bit off. I’d use the vertical spacing for the horizontal spacing as well.

I hope I’m not being too pedantic, but I think these little details matter and make Notepad++ even better. You may not consciously notice them, but your subconscious picks up on them, and they contribute to the overall feel of the application.

I don’t know what’s going on at all, today the same problem occurred again on the main system. I did a full check of the system files and found no errors. On a virtual machine with Windows 7, the portable Notepad++ works fine. Then on the main machine, I registered NppShell.dll (took it from the installation version), and that worked. My head is spinning, I don’t know what to do, I have no desire to switch to Windows 10.

4. Add highlight all matches for Find dialog.

My 2 cents on this new feature:

I’m not opposed to it, in fact think it’s a great idea, and anticipate it being useful to my own work at times. However, as someone who tends to keep his hands on the keyboard as much as possible, and is very used to hitting the TAB key once to move from FIND WHAT to REPLACE WITH, I find the disruption to my routine rather annoying. I also don’t like that the position of the checkbox which enables it results in shortening of the FIND WHAT field, since I often populate it with lengthy strings (usually of the regex variety) and prefer to be able to see as much of its content as possible, within the confines of all else I want to keep visible on my screen. Would it be possible to move it, perhaps to directly in front of where the words FIND WHAT appear (looks like enough room there to me), without anybody else being negatively impacted? Just hoping to get a feel for whether anyone else is on board with my suggestion before pursuing it formally.

Also, I suggest that when IN SELECTION is checked, highlight all matches should be limited to all matches within the current selection.

Hello, @m-andre-z-eckenrode and All,

I personally support your two suggestions ( modify the button’s postion and restrict to any single steam selection ! )

Best Regards,
