    welcome to the notepad++ community, @Viral-Tailor

    can you install any other plugin using the built in “plugins admin” ?
    (note: do not use the old “plugin manager” to install any plugins, as it is not compatible with newer versions of notepad++ 7.6.x and above.)

    please also post your notepad++ debug information here.
    (notepad++ menu > ? > debug info > copy to clipboard)
    preferably both from your installed and your portable version.

    @REVerdi

    Your first point:

    the selected character count includes the hidden characters (CR+LF in Windows)…they should not be counted.

    Hmmm, guess I don’t see why they shouldn’t be included in the count; they are there, taking up space.

    I agree with you on your second point; see this thread I created a long time ago: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13087/sel-in-status-bar-is-off-by-1-on-line-count

    I report that the above problem has resolved by itself.

    yesterday, I logged in to w10 after some days, and in the mean time I was working on w8.1 and changing files in npp in it.

    when I started npp in w10, it duly gave me prompt me for each of my 9 files “the files has been changed outside of npp, do you want to load the changed file?” or something to that tune.

    so, now npp is using same hdd files in w10 as well as w8.1

    I don’t know where the problem arose from and how it resolved.

    btw @chcg :
    (a little off topic, but i’ll wrap it as text limit ;-) )

    did you or @donho have time to take a closer look at the UCharDet 0.0.6 implementation issue ?

    i’ve tested UCharDet 0.0.6 separately and it detects all test samples correctly, and i can’t find out why, nor understand where the (pretty same) code behaves differently, when implemented into notepad++.

    (side note, if it might be something to look at: quite a few users reported, that once detected falsely, you can’t hit “encode in utf-8”, as the bullet jumps right back to the language in “character sets” it has been falsely marked with. you can, however, select “convert to utf-8” and the bullet will stay there. i’ve been able to reproduce this every time)

    @V-S-Rawat said,

    It is odd that C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts is having py scripts because that would mean uac hassles on each edit of our py script.

    The historic (pre-7.6.x) configuration for PythonScript had two locations for storing the scripts: the “machine scripts” were stored in the plugins\PythonScript\scripts\ subdirectory of the installed-notead++ directory; the “user scripts” go in %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\PythonScript\scripts\ . In case you’re curious, “machine scripts” mean the scripts that are available to every user of the machine (ie, global or public scripts); “user scripts” are scripts available just to the particular user.

    Because of this configuration, if a machine with a pre-7.6.x installation had “machine scripts” and had UAC enabled, such that mere-mortal users needed to elevate to Admin before being able to install programs, then their “machine scripts” also had the same UAC requirements. Since with the 7.6.2 setup also puts machine scripts in the installed folder hierarchy (see @Meta-Chuh’s summary of locations for 7.6.2), then it still has UAC requirements for machine scripts. Nothing is changed in that regard. If you don’t want to deal with UAC for the stored scripts in PythonScript, make them as user scripts, not as machine scripts – that was true in 7.5.8, and it’s still true in 7.6.2.

    @Jens-Spille , @Meta-Chuh

    This is a well known issue. It already has been reported in the issue tracker of the old SourceForge repository (see here) and it also has been reported in the issue tracker of the GitHub repository (see here). In no case it is caused by what ever changes in Notepad++, I’m facing this issue with v7.5.6, too.

    If I close a file, I does not get opened next time I start npp. How to force to open certain files each time npp opens.?

    don’t close the file. save it, and let it remain open in npp. it will automatically open next time you run npp.

    or you can see in Menu - File - Recent files.

    Thanks.

    you can find the available id’s and names for notepad++ here.

    example id’s:

    <Item id="41001" name="&amp;New"/> <Item id="41002" name="&amp;Open"/> <Item id="41019" name="Explorer"/> <Item id="41020" name="cmd"/> <Item id="41003" name="&amp;Close"/> <Item id="41004" name="Clos&amp;e All"/> <Item id="41005" name="Close All BUT Current Document"/> <Item id="41009" name="Close All to the Left"/> <Item id="41018" name="Close All to the Right"/>

    @V-S-Rawat

    you only have to put notepad++ portable on e:, not the other programs.
    you only need to put notepad++ on e: because you want notepad++ to behave the same, and remember exactly the same opended files on both os’es.

    leave the rest on the respective c: partitions of windows 8.1 and windows 10
    even if you use other portable software, they can stay at every c: for windows 8.1 and windows 10.

    @boq74899

    the official portable version is the one you should use, as it is supported and does not contain any modifications we do not know of or which could be incompatible with a newer release of notepad++ portable.

    i suggest you use the official portable version from here and, if you like, modify/customize it to your needs.

    @donho

    Is it normal when you buy a code signing certificate, you just receive the certificate without being controlled your identity?

    i’ve seen that too, some authorities seem to only verify a random amount of their ssl cert request identities or organizations.
    seems like even if they pretty all are extremely overpriced at the moment, they lack the interest to pay for more employees ;-)

    10 days after I receive the token, and surely the certificate is under my official name - it should be “Notepad++” instead.

    afaik. some authorities only issue a cert to a physical entity, a person or organization, not to a product name or trade mark.

    Do you have any good reference to buy code signing certificate (for Microsoft) ?

    unfortunately at least i don’t know any at the moment.
    i used to purchase my code certs from startssl for a very affordable price of €59,- for 3 years, but they don’t exist anymore and i can’t afford to buy one for 500,- a single year or so for my private uses.

    if anyone knows any affordable and flexible cert source like startssl was, which also allows an issuer alias name instead of a person’s real name or legal entity, im very interested too.

    take that file to excel
    separate line at “:” so that variable name and value come in two columns
    then sort that in excel so that all same variable name come together.

    then do your thing.
    combing two column to get a single line (reverse of what you did above)
    bring file back to npp.

    If you want original order, after taking the file to excel you can put a 3rd column and fill it will 1,2,3 serial no. for you entire data.
    after first sorting, it will come to variable name order
    so after finishing your data manipulation, sort again on this serial no. column and you get data in your original order.

    thanks.
