    Corrupted Session Starting in Notepad++ v8.6.5, it will store session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak next to session.xml, and will automatically use that if session.xml is corrupted. However, if you ever find that you open Notepad++ (especially after an update or a system crash) and find that the files opened weren’t in the same state as when you let them, you can try this procedure: Exit Notepad++ Windows Explorer, go to %AppData%\Notepad++ (or in your appropriate config-file location if you aren’t using AppData for config) Rename session.xml to session.xml--keep Copy session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak to session.xml Run Notepad++ → If it’s now showing the right copy of your files, great! If not, exit Notepad++, delete session.xml, and rename session.xml--keep back to session.xml .

    @PeterJones said: Your words said “Distraction Free Mode” without “Fullscreen”. “Fullscreen” is the aspect of DFM that covers the full screen. That is true, but to be fair I’ve also immediately clarified what I meant by “Fullscreen” in the first message : ) I’m assuming operates in Fullscreen mode, meaning it tries to always stay on top Not being a programmer, I can only talk about Fullscreen and Borderless by their observed effects in videogames. From videogame options, Fullscreen and Borderless both cover the entire screen, the only difference is Fullscreen behave as “Always On Top” (almost always), and Borderless doesn’t. Thank you for the Macro, it’s much less hassle than having to run that script manually every time, and I really appreciate it ^_^

    We are unable to access anything related to notepad++ (website, update function from the app) within our Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Nothing has changed with regards to our networking that would prevent this. I was able to update our notepad++ apps within our Azure VDI a few months back and then all of a sudden, it stopped. These machines have no anti-virus or zero-trust systems installed. Is it possible notepad++ has blocked our Azure’s Egress IP? I only say this because we have had a handful of instances where US state websites all of a sudden became inaccessible until we reached out to the website’s support and coincidentally our Azure Egress IP was blocked. How can we reach out to see if we somehow got blocked so we can access/update notepad++ again in azure vdi’s?

    Hi @guy038, your summary is right. By hard disks I meant the classic ones with spinning platters. SSDs get 4 threads, like your key. MultiReplace asks Windows whether a drive has a seek penalty, which only drives with moving read heads report. Those get 1 thread, CD/DVD drives too, and to be safe also USB disks that don’t answer that question. And thanks for checking the hit counts, good to see all three engines agree.

    Rants like this are only allowed in the Boycott Notepad++ category, so I moved it from a reply in the General Discussion to its own topic here Do not reply to normal discussions with such rants.

    That’s a clever little experiment! I never really thought about using regular expressions to represent mathematical patterns like multiples of 3, but it makes sense when you look at the binary sequence. Definitely a fun way to explore just how powerful regex can be beyond ordinary text searching.
