    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 .

    Hello, I have about 30 open tabs in my NP++ session. The last opened/created one is active. When I open the tab list (menu Window --> Windows… ) I see the list of the tabs, but the current one is not visible. It seems that its entry in the list is selected: when I move the cursor up and down the list is scrolled so that the current tab is shown. But initially it is not. Do you also see this behaviour? Wouldn’t it be more sensible and intuitive if the current tab was displayed (and not only selected) in the windows list?

    @myfancytextgenerator said: One small caveat worth keeping in mind: this covers the default language of new documents, not the file-type list in the Save As dialogue — the langs.xml tweak described earlier in this thread is still the way to get a dedicated .md entry there. Sorry… but this is just not true. It is implemented even longer, since Aug 2024, than the latest update. See Issue #11096 and PR #15490

    @Screen-White said: I also contribute to that resource We do not allow links to fancy text generators here: every topic that has any becomes a honeypot for more such links, getting low quality posts that pretend to be responses but are actually just spam advertising. If you have something meaningful to say about Notepad++, feel free. But if you post another link to your fancy text generator website(s), you will be banned for spamming.
