@PeterJones
Thank you for your reply and for all the effort to answer my question!

Sorry I wasn’t clear enough: I wanted to say that I want to change the background color for all the lines before that line containing the word STARTCODE, so your second answer is what I need.
However, it works but once I close the EnhanceAnyLexerConfig.ini or I simply start editing the “startcode.txt” file, the graying is gone for those lines before STARTCODE

And another question is: how can I change the background color instead of the ink color?

I think the sandbox has winget. It has been a while since I have used it. Use -i if you want to select install options.

@Ollivier_64_fr said in Project files updated:

Hello everyone,
I have a question about project management: would it be possible to update project content without having to delete all the files and recreate the project? I searched the options without finding a solution… it might be more convenient.
I hope this question hasn’t already been asked. I searched the forum before posting here without finding anything.
Thank you for your answers.

What exactly do you mean by “update project content”? The project panels (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/session/#project-panels) aren’t “live”, in that they don’t automatically add or remove files from a folder (because “projects” are meant to be independent of the underlying folder structure). But you can manually add or remove files from a given project at any time, without deleting and recreating it.

If you are looking for something that’s directory based, rather than manually adding/removing files, then the closest feature to what you want is Folder as Workspace (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/session/#folder-as-workspace), though that shows all files in the folder hierarchy, rather than just specific filetypes.

@BUILMOND-interactive same problem on Snapdragon Windows Laptops - once changed to GDI the flickering across the screen is gone - seems the flickering has to do /w the cursor position flicker

@PeterJones ,

thank you for the description! A did it and it works like a charm! It is indeed amazing what’s possible with Notepad++! Likewise it’s also amazing what a friendly and helpful community it has!

@Michael-Fuerst

As you have probably determined already, the initial list is in terms of “time opened”. However once you use the “Sort By” option it will present the open tabs in the order you want select (using options available). That is then saved as the new order of tabs, even if Notepad++ is closed and re-opened.

This was asked for recently and the thought is that it’s unlikely to be added as an option, but if you read the FAQ posts you could present a request.

is a good place to start. The other menus are described in appropriate places in the manual

@PeterJones

When my IT admin gave me my laptop with my ID(Domain) configured as part of local administrator group, I just simply install NP++ by downloading from Chrome.

Being part of the administrator group does not force Notepad++ to run in Admin mode. I have always been part of the administrator group, both on my personal PCs and on my work machines. I do not run Notepad++ as administrator.

Then I launched from desktop, or Start–>N+±-> Enter

Did you look at those shortcuts, as I explained?

Then I pinned NP++ and every time my laptop restart I launch NP++ from taskbar

Did you look at that shortcut, as I explained?

Since my TP is a single user and no other user I am not sure how to run NP++ with No Admin

I gave you detailed instructions on how to look for the “Run this program as an administrator” checkbox, both for shortcuts and for the notepad++.exe executable. You have to find the ones that are checked, and uncheckmark them

Please advise on how do I retain my style settings.

The instructions already given told you the first step. If you ignore the first step, you cannot hope to fix your problem.

UPDATE: With the release of v8.8.7, Notepad++ is once again signed by a GlobalSign-issued certificate, as well as the Notepad++ self-signed certificate.

So updating to 8.8.7 should eliminate the problem originally described.

UPDATE: With the release of v8.8.7, Notepad++ is once again signed by a GlobalSign-issued certificate, as well as the Notepad++ self-signed certificate.

The certificate instructions (above) are still appropriate for confirming the self-signed certificate, but with the GlobalSign-issued certificate, the procedure is not as critical on v8.8.7 and newer.

@Vito-Evola I’ve got the simplest workaround and tested it… Download the portable version of Notepad++ and unpack Notepad++ inside a folder in Dropbox.

Is that simple, both computers found the txt files and since my files are also inside Dropbox then no broken files.

Hope you find this helpful!

@Mario-Spiru ,

When Notepad++ is installed normally, it registers the NppShell.dll, which is what adds the normal “Edit with Notepad++” entry in the context menu. The User Manual’s Right Click - Edit with Notepad++ page has a section which explains how to manually unregister or register that DLL. So, to remove that context menu entry, you have to unregister the DLL. (Please note: you may need to be in an Admin command window to get it to unregister; and you may need to log out and back in for the unregister to take effect.)

If you manually created some other “Edit with Notepad++” entry, unregistering the DLL will do nothing, and you will have to reverse whatever manual steps you took to create the entry in the first place.

@C-Bacca Yep, just install the Autosave plugin. Then in the plugin turn on autosave on losing focus.

Depending the content, you could open the xls file in LibreOffice (or Open Office) and save it as an html file. It won’t be picture-perfect, but it will be in columns.

@Eric-Y ,

has anyone else seen this?

I have not.

If it were just randomly typing it where your cursor/caret is, I would say that maybe you have a dirty or flakey keyboard. But since it seems to be happening in random locations, even though your caret/cursor is not there, I might blame a flakey plugin, or maybe you have a broken AutoHotKey or similar external program that’s incorrectly injecting keystrokes into Notepad++.

To debug a Plugin as the possible issue, see our Crash FAQ: Possible Culprit: Plugin – the FAQ focuses on crashes, but really that section of the FAQ applies for debugging any problem that might be caused by a plugin.

unfortunately, we cannot really help you debug AHK or other external programs.
