@vitalii-dovgan Yes, that was the issue, a whitespace-like character in the next line.

Thank you!

@michael-vincent Thanks.

@a-kostenzer said in Does an etl plugin exist?:

I would like to know what is in this file to solve the diagnosed problem.

I went searching on Google and got an answer in less than 1 minute, you could have done the same.
Try this website.

It would seem these are diagnostic files generated by Windows which may help to sort out application issues. They appear to be shrunk, so they may be “binary” in nature (from the website … written to a log and stored in a compressed binary format in order to reduce the amount of space occupied). If so then Notepad++ is the wrong application to open them.

Do some research on the Internet to establish what you should be using instead to read the content.

@rdipardo Just downloaded the x86 plugin version and on windows with N++ tool I get 29a8804a88f96c8086a0b77f0181279524ce85d1ebaa4094d4a32453a3c39bf1 on Win10. Also the check on appveyor is running on windows + python script. Current appveyor checks show no issue there. So I guess something is broken by the download or strange with the local vs. cloud storage.

@peterjones, sorry… I tried my best to not hijack a thread with another issue, which is why I approached it this way since I had 3 different questions to hash out. I don’t see this happening in the future and will just make a new post with my need and only focus on questions related to other posts without expanding outside of the scope… Btw, I couldn’t update that typo because of the 3 minute rule, but since the shared code was correct, I figured it would be figured out.

@johnny-stevens ,

Plugin Manager hasn’t been compatible with Notepad++ for years. I assume you mean the Plugins Admin.

A fresh unzip of Notepad++ v8.2.1 shows that Plugins Admin links to Compare Plugin v2.0.1

v8.2.2 was never officially released (there was a RC with that number, but it was released as v8.3). v8.3 Plugins Admin links to Compare Plugin v2.0.2.

In other words, the actual releases link to the right versions of the Compare Plugin. WooHoo, it does it right!

@michael-vincent Yeah, thank you very much for sharing your story. I also experienced sublime and ultraeditor before and then come back to Notepad++. It’s neat and very light-weight to run.

Cheers.

@zylstra said in With the "replace all" button, replace everything in truth.:

Are either of you UI designers? Or at least designers for this application?

I’m an old-timer here on this site, so I know where this is going…
It comes up occasionally.
Everyone thinks they have the best idea for how this UI should be designed.
And everyone proposing changes gets shot down, because there is no “best idea”.
So if you want to continue complaining about this UI, go ahead, but I guarantee that it is pointless and no one will care about your complaints.

The answer is to learn how to use the software – it isn’t that difficult. Some of your initial statements show that you have no clue about a traditional text editor’s search and replace functions and the basic workings that have been in place for decades.

Specifically, issue #11253

Hi all,

@guy038 said in Autocomplete over multiple lines:

Hi, @romain-bocquiau, @peterjones, @michael-vincent, @alan-kilborn and All,

Peter, I think that the BetterMultiSelection plugin, of @dail, allows and keeps the multi or column selection on several lines, together with the auto completion feature ! Just tested !

Best Regards,

guy038

It was exactly what i needed. thank you.

Continuing to polish the plugin before the release :)
Latest dev version NppExec20220215 includes small improvements, such as:

new flag 64 for “npe_console c<N>”, “npe_console s<N>” and “npp_exectext” fixed: “npe_console k3” did not work with Alt+key (internal) CNppExecCommandExecutor::ExecuteChildProcessCommand supports multi-line input

The XML Tools

Thank you, some of the community users use that plugin, but this is the wrong place to report a bug for a specific plugin.

You may find better results here - the authors are pretty active - having just release an update for N++ 8.3.

Cheers.

I see. Thank you very much for the guidance.

@robert-bratton

I’m the developer of the plugin. Unfortunately there isn’t anything I can do. Our corporate security also uses some flavor of CrowdStrike as well. I’m on Notepad++ 8.1.9.3 (64 bit) and I don’t plan on using 8.3 due to the various issues it is causing. I don’t have any issues, though I’m sure each deployment of CrowdStrike is different.

@peterjones said in [Need Help] npp c++ plugin:

Well, the PythonScript console is a docking panel of sorts, and could be used for outputting such data, as long as the OP just wants a simple text output, and doesn’t care about fancy formatting.

All true, but I think the OP is going for something more sophisticated.

Did you find a solution to this?

@aldo ,

In many of the builtin lexers, comment blocks or multiple sequential comment-lines already do have a “fold” button to the left, which can be used for hiding the comments.

For User Defined Languages (UDL), it will only fold the comments if you check on the “Allow folding of comments” checkbox:
