Issue and PR made.

@Chris-Fesko using vs 2022 doesn’t mean the code is using .net. My code certainly isn’t. It’s standard c++ throughout (though it is c++20 so i’m not sure how well that work with vc++ 6.0)

@Coises,

How do you go about testing the ARM64 version? I’ve left that out of all my plugin work so far, because I haven’t a clue how to verify that it works at all.

I don’t. I’m following the time-honored tradition of releasing software untested, and hoping that any users will find edge cases for me. :-)

Given that it works as 32b and 64b on Intel processors, and I’m not doing anything that is out-of-the-ordinary, I am hoping that there aren’t any ARM64-specific bugs

@Joe-Bruns-0 said in Single click to open file in workspace:

Enhancement request.

FAQ: Feature Requests aren’t tracked in the forum. If you want the developer to see your request, you’ll have to follow the instructions in the FAQ. But we can talk, and get ideas/feedback from other users here.

Similar to single clicking on a file in document list panel to open it, can we do the same on folder as a workspace? It would appear that in folder as a workspace, a person has to double click on the file to open it.

The two interfaces have a slightly different mindset, so, IMO, it would be a bad idea. In the Document List panel, you are dealing with files that are already open in Notepad++; in that mindset, then you’d want it to behave more like the tabbar, where a single click activates that already-open file. But in the Folder As Workspace (FaW) panel, the interface is much more like Windows Explorer: in Explorer and explorer-like interfaces, the user’s expectation is that single-clicking a file will select it, not launch it; and breaking that expectation in an explorer-like interface of the FaW panel will cause confusion on the part of many users, even though for some, it might be desired. If it were an option, I’d be okay with it; but unexpectedly forcing your preferred interface on everyone, especially on people who have been using Notpead++'s FaW for years (given how old the feature is, maybe even more than a decade) would be a bad experience for a large portion of the users.

@Terry-R

Fair enough. I thought I’d give it a shot.

Thanks for your time and suggestions.

@Mark-Olson and @Terry-R

Thank you for your answers and sorry for the late response.
I checked if there are unseen characters but there are none.

I’m sorry for not translating the error text - I just made the screenshot and never thought about it. The google translation offered by @Terry-R is correct though.

As for the mentioned lack of information:

I’m using Notepadd++ 8.7.9 with XML tools 3.1.1.13.

The XSD files are from the german tax offices and can be downloaded here:

A valid xml file which produces the mentioned error is:

Solution: Alt+F4 & Reopen Notepad++ solves this, not the best solution but not the worst either xd

You need to turn off CSV Lint’s transparent cursor option, or the problem will keep coming back:

@Martin-Hoppe
Open the tree view and paste your path after the @ symbol in the query box. When you select a node in the tree view, the caret will automatically snap to its position in the document.

I am the JsonTools maintainer, and thus the best person to direct such questions to.

@Coises Thanks. That works fine and have been able to test and update.

It appears that the “shortcoming” has been FIXED and should appear in the next Notepad++ release.
Nice.

@remotemachining ,

First, the user you @-mentioned was just a random user who had commented, and is not the same as the person who announced the plugin. The user you mentioned hasn’t been here since making the post in January 2024; and the user who announced the MarkdownText plugin hasn’t been here sincec 2021 (nor have there been any updates to that plugin since that year). I am doubtful that you’d get a response from either of them.

On to the specifics of your issue:

Where did you download the plugin? Did you use a specific URL (if so, share it), or did you just use Plugins Admin?

I ask, because this discussion is about the MarkdownText plugin, which would show up as MarkdownText.dll, but the error messages you typed out are referencing a plugin directory NppMarkdownPanel (which implies the NppMarkdownPanel.dll) but referencing a DLL in a lib sub-directory called MarkdigWrapper.dll – that’s not the normal way that Notepad++ plugins are set up (unless this plugin has multiple DLLs involved, and it’s just having a problem with one of them).

However, your messages imply you are actually using a different plugin, NppMarkdownPanel which is available in the Plugins Admin inside Notepad++, and has been updated much more recently… Assuming that’s the case, I tried installing that plugin and looking at a simple Markdown file: I, too, get an error message about that MarkdigWrapper.dll sub-library. Looks like there’s a major bug that’s making it incompatible.

I went to the most-recent issue that they said they closed, and the people testing the build were using Notepad++ 8.4.9 to do the testing (which would have been current in early 2023, when the last plugin release was made). And I still get the error with plugin v0.7.3 and NPP-64 v8.4.9. I also tried, with the same error, in the 32bit Notepad++/plugin combo.

However, if I instead grab plugin v0.7.0 (which is the version from Plugins Admin) in the 32bit, it works properly for me. And if I use Plugins Admin in 64bit Notepad++ and download the one there (which says 0.7.1 in the dialog, but the plugin’s About box only says 0.7.0), it also works.

So if you downloaded directly from github, try removing the manual installation of the plugin, and instead install using Plugins Admin, and there’s a good chance it will start working for you.

I personally chose the MarkdownViewer++ plugin (0.8.2) from Plugins Admin, and that one works reliably for me. But I do readily admit it hasn’t been updated since 2018, so is obviously not supported anymore.

@Saim-Anderson ,

adding a feature

We can talk about feature ideas here, but implementation happens in the code repository, not here in the Community of users.

to create custom web shortcuts within the interface could make it even more efficient.

Maybe you didn’t realize this, but that’s exactly what the Run menu allows you to do, as you can read more about in the user defined commands section of the online User Manual.

A customizable “Quick Links” menu for frequently visited websites.

aka, the Run menu

The ability to assign hotkeys for opening web pages directly.

aka, the Shortcut Mapper

Plugin support to integrate external references efficiently.

write your own plugin, if you think that the Run menu doesn’t meet your needs

Let’s discuss how it could be implemented!

It already exists.

I also doubt you actually want to discuss. I am assuming you are testing out your generative AI skills, based on the phraseology and buzzword-nature of your post. Please understand, as mentioned in the “Please Read Before Posting”, that generative AI content is expressly forbidden in this forum, as it’s a Community of Notepad++ users, and by definition, generative AI algorithms are not users of Notepad++. You can be banned from the forum for using it to generate your posts. Any more such posts from you will get you banned without further warning.

Great update! External lookup files in MultiReplace 4.2.0.22 make replacements cleaner and easier to manage.

@mh-tp said in Support for Plugins Admin & NppPluginList:

Answer: I just downloaded the 8.7.8 installer of Notepad++ and the NppPluginList got updated too.

Or download the most-recent portable copy, where you can get the DLL without having to upgrade the rest, if you don’t want to.

Confusing was the “no update available…”

See our “most recent version” FAQ and the User Manual page on Upgrading Notepad++

The text and the … is very small, but contains important information about the update releases, so you’ll end up ccleaner or plugins tell you npp isn’t up to date, while it self tells you it is…

I don’t see how the size of the text has anything to do with what cleaner tells you (but after years of CCleaner getting worse and worse, I gave up ever listening to what it told me, and uninstalled it ages ago)

@ThosRTanner said in Are the shortcut key pointers when initialising your menu maent to be const ?:

It does raise another question though - does that mean your menu structure have to remain unchanged once you’ve registered it with notepad++? If it was allocated in a piece of temporary memory which got discarded for instance it would be a little hard to track down!

No. Plugins like NppExec and PythonScript change the number of menu entries on the fly, though I don’t know whether they can give those commands shortcuts when generated after-the-fact or not. You might be able to look through their source code to see how they dynamically add a new menu entry after-the-fact.

As far as shortcuts are concerned, after the plugin’s initial request when it’s loaded, I believe the expectation is that the Shortcut Mapper will be used for any future changes to keyboard shortcuts (and that those are restricted to a plugin’s top-level of menu). And when PythonScript or NppExec dynamically adds a command to its top-level menu, Shortcut Mapper makes you wait until the next Notepad++ launch – when the entry is initialized at plugin load, rather than dynamically after – to be able to assign the keystroke.

update: And when Shortcut Mapper changes any command’s shortcut, you can actually process NPPN_SHORTCUTREMAPPED to see how Shortcut Mapper changed your menu’s command.
