the installer lets you choose the language.
notepad++ will be set to the language you selected inside the installer.

if you already installed notepad++ without choosing your language, you can change the language in the menu:
settings > preferences > general > localization.

if you don’t have any languages but english in this drop down menu, just run the installer again, selecting your desired language and/or other languages to be installed.
(tick the desired languages in the localization section of the installer)

thanks @PeterJones

at first i didn’t see it animated right away after posting it.
only a full page reload triggered the image flipping.

i think it’s probably a browser related restriction (safari)
the gif flipping does not seem to initiate if it has been loaded via ajax/xmlhttprequests to an already rendered canvas.

Gentlemen, Thank you very much! I will try the methods that you have suggested. The suggestion to “find and replace” is great! Those vertical lines really do help…

The plugin is named YEtc. Its code is hosted at GitHub. Since its original author is japanese, the ZIP file with the DLL can only be downloaded from a japanese website. It seems like akismet.com doesn’t like the address of that site, thus I can not post it here. But it is obtainable on the main page of the repository above. You have to translate that website by e.g. Google translation service to find the right download link.

The author is the same one who wrote the Horizontal Ruler plugin. On the japanese website mentioned above one can find links to the source code and ZIP packages of the two plugins mentioned before and of some others as well, which seem to be of interest for japanese people only, though.

Have a look at (menu) Settings -> Preferences -> (register) General -> (group box) Tab Bar -> Lock (no drag and drop). If this option is ticked you have to untick it to get back tabs dragging feature.

I update it whenever it ask

Maybe not such a great plan…otherwise one of these days your face is going to look like the face on your avatar (like when your plugins go missing). :-)

Could you please prompt for updates when I go to close the window rather than when I open it?

If you catch my hint above, you would turn off the auto-update prompt…if you feel you must persist however, the correct place to make feature/change requests is here.

Hi, @peterjones,

About the FAQ title : Your wish is granted ;-))

Cheers,

Nothing more to say than in the other thread you opened.

Since this is the support forum for Notepad++ driven by volunteers which are not involved into its development, your request presumably will not have the intended effect.

You should read this FAQ Desk entry to learn how to file a feature request.

@Meta-Chuh

actually using normal text never worked - the issue was that I didn’t realize that it was not set to my UDL, where it worked always. :-(

@Eko-palypse
you don’t seem to be the default one question pass-by newbie anyways.
more like a future regular, considering your interest in more than just your own np++ needs.

@Terry-R
you looked like a regular from your first day on, so you basically never were a newbie ;-)
more like someone who was there from the beginning, knows all non written rules, conduct codes of regulars, and you just posted again 7 months ago after a long long vacation

LOL…sounds like some sort of “human hibernation”…is it cold in the room too?

@Scott-Sumner

I think you are right - it is probably already enabled.

I implemented the “multiple independent npp exe + settings directories”, and after dealing with some problems, it now seems to be working fine.

The two shortcuts needed to have the -multiInst cmd line argument so I could have both instances running simult’y, and ability to freely start them in either order.

At first the instances shared things like closed files history and search phrases history. I had to approximately figure out the settings files storage and fetching rules to disentangle them. It was a consequence of my having ‘settings on cloud’ (Settings|Prefs|Cloud) feature enabled (and pointing to a local subdirectory, not an internet storage site). The two instances were using a reference to the same ‘cloud’ subdir. In one of my indep. instance directories, when i changed to ‘no cloud’, on next restart I saw a bunch of settings & styles were no longer in effect; i had to do some manual xml file overwriting to recover. (I was a bit lucky, as I hadn’t backed everything up into a dedicated do-not-touch backup).

Both instances still point to the same projects (in workspace) file, but I’m fine with that for now.

I learned stuff I didn’t realize about the relationship between shortcuts in (Win 7 pro) Start menu vs. taskbar: changes to the former don’t automagically xfer to latter; gotta (taskbar) unpin and repin.

It took a while but things seem ok now.

I’ll close by repeating: terrific multi sess mgmt out of the box is a good thing, and, npp would have it with only a minor change.
