@michael-vincent Thanks a lot

@peterjones Thank you very much

@andreas-b-jensen said in Download link that doesn't change with new versions ( For app deployment):

what is most important, outdated software with possible security holes or short disruption to employees?

That is really up to the organization, not an outsider like me.

But in my experience, with Notepad++, there has only been one group of changes that were security related – that was the EU-FOSSA batch in v7.6.3. Notepad++ is not primarily an internet-facing or internet-interfacing application, so most “security” issues don’t affect Notepad++. So, for Notepad++ updates, if I were in charge of distributing to a group of users, I would prioritize doing a quick check to make sure that the end-user experience wouldn’t be disrupted, over getting the newest update to the end-user ASAP.

But it sounds like you have good ideas for how to implement things within your system; that’s great! Good luck.

Thanks everyone. That’s a very helpful explanation. Looks like I’ll need to find another way to try and access the files.

@myfirstnameispaul ,

somehow Notepad++ has reverted to essentially a brand-new install, so no settings, sessions, nothing.

It may be that you just have to start reconfiguring from there.

But you can try to share your ?-menu’s Debug Info, and we can see if we can point you in the right direction.

But we are not experts on Wine here, so we won’t necessarily know how to map concepts from Windows to Wine: For example, is /home/username/.wine/drive_c/users/username/Application Data/ the Wine equivalent of c:\ProgramData\ ? Or of c:\users\username\AppData\ ? Or of c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\ ? Or of c:\users\username\AppData\Local\ ? Because which of those it’s the equivalent of will determine whether your config files are in the right place. Under supported Windows OSes, the Notepad++ configuration goes under %AppData%\Notepad++, which is usually c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming, not the c:\users\username\AppData\ that most people misinterpret the %AppData% as meaning. So if /home/username/.wine/drive_c/users/username/Application Data/ is exactly equivalent to c:\users\username\AppData\ , then your Notepad++ is not in the right directory, and it should be c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\ … But that’s a big IF, that we cannot answer.

And maybe run Settings > Edit Popup ContextMenu, and see what the path is of the contextMenu.xml that it loads – because that should be the location where all your other config files go as well.

@alan-kilborn Ah okay, yes its very simple, sorry haha. Thank you so much :)

@alan-kilborn

Thanks for that link. Learned something new today :)

@peterjones Thanks for the info. Apologies, I should I have checked the plugin first. I’ll keep an eye out for the changes.

Thanks again for your help.

@peterjones
Thank you! That was indeed the case.

@jdx-john said in Search ignoring whitespace:

love if there was a simple “Ignore whitespace” checkbox alongside “Match case” and “Match whole word only”.

So it would be?:

ignore whitespace in the Find what expression ignore whitespace in the text that is searched both

I don’t suppose this might be considered a feature request

Feature requests are not made here (well, if you want them to be seen by the developers). See HERE for how to make a proper one.

If you tried to default the recovery function from the proxmox? If you are searching for good backup options, you can try to download the CCleaner first, clean the registry, and set the backup point.

@abhinav-kganan said in How to disable plugin on startup:

Your suggestion worked actually

Which one?
We probably could have given you better suggestions quicker if you’d have elaborated more on what you wanted/needed to do.
Sure, if all it was was “disable plugins”, then I guess we got you there. :-)

@reddit-mod

Instructions and sample usage (for a slightly different problem) here.

If the data you’ve shown is truly the data you’re working with, you can achieve what you want with much simpler techniques. You could start with an empty file, insert a column with ascending numbers, then, either using a macro or a regex F&R, add in the rest of the (multiline) fixed text at the end of each line.

@e-l said in Delete Partially Duplicate Lines:

.17763.[123456789][0123456789] : deletes within asterix, dot after 17763 is literal, square brackets each pair indicates 1 acceptable character

There are some issues with the description of your regex. The first wrong belief is that the DOT following the string 17763 is a literal DOT, instead it represents a single character position, whatever that character is. Given you say “do not check . matches newline” then the DOT will not equal end of line characters.
Second inaccuracy is thinking you need to identify every number within each of your 2 [ ] groups. You can represent these as [1-9] and [0-9] as they are comprised of consecutive characters in each group. If; for example; you wanted to identify [01236789] you would write this as [0-36-9].
Also be careful with the .* as this is greedy. If your line contains multiple 17763 strings then the greedy modifier will consider the last 17763 string to be the important one. Probably not really a problem here but in other tests you may find incorrect results.

I think you need to start with basics in learning regex. If you look in our FAQ section you will find posts that will steer you in the right direction. I feel you may need to undo some of your beliefs. Be aware that there are several forms of regex. By reading from our FAQ you will see the one used within Notepad++.

In the end I suppose what I say may well fall on deaf ears. You have something that (in your mind) achieves the desired result. So good on you for trying it yourself.

@виктор-минин

Probably a better place to report this.

Cheers.

@peterjones Thank you. I’ll check it out right now.

@balaji-palavalli ,

The FileSwitcher you referenced has not been updated since 2009. It’s missed quite a few API changes required to be able to work with v8.3.3. Now, not every plugin uses every aspect of the API, so it might not use any incompatible calls: So if you have 32-bit Notepad++ v8.3.3, and if you download the UNI (unicode) version of the plugin, and if you put the plugin’s DLL in the correct subdirectory (c:\program files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\FileSwitcher\FileSwitcher.dll , assuming a standard 32 bit installation), it might work. (Oh, it actually appears to be available through the Plugins Admin in the 32bit Notepad++, so it’s easier to get… and the most recent v8.3 API changes don’t affect 32bit, so it’s a good chance that it will still work for you on 32bit Notepad++)

But unless someone has un-officially forked it, there isn’t a modern/maintained version of FileSwitcher for you to download, or a 64bit version. I did find a couple forks by trusted users on GitHub, but none of them have published updated binaries. @chcg has a version that I cannot see has any changes relative to the original, so it probably wouldn’t help. @Predelnik has a version here which claims to have fixes so that it can be compiled 64bit… but again, doesn’t share any binaries, so you would have to be willing to download and compile from source yourself.

But if you are willing to use Notepad++ 32-bit, you should be able to use that plugin.

@alan-kilborn said in Simply, what is this icon? Can't find anything online.:

I’m surprised that section of the manual doesn’t mention the tab icon.

PR#352. Does it look okay to you, @Alan-Kilborn ?

Hello, @neil-schipper,

Thanks for pointing this to me ! So, I replaced the two plus signs with two star symbols, in my previous post
