@Scott-Sumner
Scott, you are rigth.
I really noticed this “new” way for renaming a file.
Even so, thanks for you attention.

Thanks @Claudia-Frank .

Hi Scoot and All,

Scott, sorry for this late reply !

So, I’ve just did a test, again, with the last N++ version ( v6.9.2 ) with the simple following macro, which searches for the exact case of the article the, in all the opened files, of your current N++ session :

<Macro name="Test" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="the" /> <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1636" sParam="" /> </Macro>

This macro is automatically inserted in the <Macros> node :

The first line, defines the name of the macro and its possible shortcut

The second line initializes the search process

The third line defines the string to search : the word the

The 4th line selects the search mode : the digit 0, in lParam, meaning normal search

The 5th line defines the search options : the digit 2 means Match case

The final 6th line defines the search type : the number 1636 stands for a search in all opened documents

Refer to the link below, for further information :

http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Editing_Configuration_Files#Search_.2F_Replace_encoding

Remark : The action of the flag value 512, when message = “1702”, is wrong ! The correct action is Search goes downwards :-))

So, if you run this form of the macro Test, you get the right result : the Find result panel, with all the occurrences found in all the files opened

Unfortunately, if you create a macro, in order to search in current document only, or if you change the number 1636 with the number 1641( flag value for search in current document ), in the shortcuts.xml file, with an OTHER editor than N++, when any instance of N++ is closed, the Find result panel does NOT opened, as it should, when running the macro :-(((

This bug is still there ! As a work-around, if numerous files are opened, in your session, you may :

Close most of them, not concerned with the search

Perform the above macro, which searches on all opened files

Click, on the menu option File - Opened All Recent Files

P.S. :

Oh, I forget to tell you that my technical configuration is, simply, a Windows XP SP3 system, on a NEC Versa M350 laptop :-((

Folder as workspace is a great improvement. One thing to make it even better is to allow for the option to collapse folders that only contain a sub-folder. This would very useful for java programmers, since their package names (and thus underlying folder structure) contains many nested folders.

This is also true for scala and any other language that uses nested packages/namespaces

When I try to use the Column Editor with the Number to Insert feature, it crashes all the time.
For info, I’m under windows 10.

Guy038,

Could this me set up something like a wiki project - perhaps freezing out sections as soon as they seem satisfactory?

Otherwise, I don’t see the manual ever being done! Think of how much useful material can be found on Wiki!

Hello Don,

I’ve, still, been able to download the N++ 6.8.9 version, from that link :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/6.x/unstableVersions/6.8.9/

I, then, installed the portable version, by downloading the npp.6.8.9.bin.7z archive

Without modifying any N++ parameter, I tried to follow the steps which produce the crash issue.

But, contrary to what you said, Don, I did NOT notice any issue, on my Win XP SP3 configuration, luckily !

Refer to the ? - Debug info list, below :

Notepad++ v6.8.9 Build time : Jan 12 2016 - 00:00:51 Path : C:\_689\notepad++.exe Admin mode : OFF Local Conf mode : ON OS : Windows XP Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PluginManager.dll

Remainder : The different steps, that I used for testing, are :

Open a new tab, in Notepad 6.8.9

Type some random characters

Save this file as Test.txt

Switch off, from N+, to Microsoft Notepad

Open the Test.txt file

Add some random characters

Save, with Microsoft Notepad, the changed file, Test.txt

Switch back to Notepad++ 6.8.9,

The Reload dialog appears : This file has been modified from another program. Do you want to reload it?

Accept it, by clicking on the Yes button

=> No crash happened ! Procedure repeated several times => All is OK, on my Win XP SP3 configuration !

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

Special thanks, for points #3, #4 and #5, of the change.log !

Of course, concerning point #4, people, who created macros, involving selection of lines, will have to, slightly, change their macros !

Test on WinXP SP3 x86

New Installation and Update from npp6.8.8 worked well.
NPP started and showed change.log.

Notepad++ v6.8.9
Build time : Jan 12 2016 - 00:00:51

@donho
Very nice! Thanks a lot :D

I’d be glad to help out! (TR)

actually 5 more

(1)
if double clicking on text = select entire group of text&number / simbol = highlight all same text in current doc, what if i want 2 words (multiple words), (how ? : like (doubleclick) 2nd click is not click, its drag and drop), important parts is find & highlight all

(2) customized toolbar / menubar
save all next to save button is makes me really scared, i want save all disapear

(3) please make CRLF symbol more smaller if show all character=active, its too big on editor,

(4) file is ANSI, if npp found non ansi character (only in UTF8/16 (unicode) like 【this♥】) in doc, please ask do you want to convert ANSI into unicode ? when saving doc,

(5)
(a). able to save find and replace as template for future use (not only history list in combo box)
(b). able to switch text in input : find and replace, rather than cut-paste-cut-paste
(c.) so we can hit enter (as new line) in find/replace input box (some program Ctrl+enter)
(d). please change font in input box (like Lucida Console), its hard to recognize(read) : ((i(l|.)],
what i’ve always done is : edit in windows notepad, and copied into find/replace inputbox npp
(e). my text editor is not always npp, so … regex replacement is different every each program, some use dollarSign some use backSlash, please a remainder text

@donho Sorry for my late response, but I forgot to answer over the weekend. :D
I’ve tested your fix and the bug is now semi-fixed:
After replacing the Notepad++.exe I’ve started Notepad++ and the bug was still present for Java script files. Then I went into to settings dialog and modified the value for the Java script tab width. After modifying this value everything was fine. This behaviour changed in comparison to the unpatched Notepad++.exe where the tab width keeps wrong after modification in the dialog, so your fix worked at this place.
Unfortunately your fix is not used in a recently started Notepad++. You must go into that dialog and change the setting first, otherwise your fix doesn’t work.

So there should be one place more to fix.

Kind Regards
David Gausmann

I use the Vibrant Ink “theme” when editing TCL scripts.
Using the Style Configurator, when I change Language: TCL STRING to pink, all the ‘{}’, ‘[]’ and conditional operators turn pink… judging by the list of Style: types offered for TCL configuration, there is something really hosed up 8( since the list is the same for C, C++, Java, C# RC and TCL.

I see also after the update to 6.8.1 a complete freezing of my Windows 7 system

It could be the Source Code Pro font issue.
Please use 6.8.3 in which this issue is solved.

@Moltres-Rider You can always use Plugins Manager to get it back.
