Disable autodetect syntax by content

Ekopalypse

Editor again will switching to XML after using Tab between files.

Does not happen to me, what npp version are you using?
Can be seen in debug-info from ? menu.
What about using Style Configurator, selecting VB/VBS from Language and adding wsc to the User ext.: section?

Does not happen to me

Are you sure you replicated @Ihor-Laputin 's conditions? Because it happened for me at home last night (and since I didn’t have a solution, I didn’t post then), and it happens at work for me this morning.

I googled for “example wsc file”, and grabbed the example from this SO post. Using that file (saved as test.wsc), I get exactly the behavior described.

Here’s an animated screenshot:

At home, I had tried defining .wsc for a UDL, instead, with the same results. It seems that there’s some autodetect based on the content of <?xml version="1.0"?> that overrides the by-extension lexer definition, at least from what I can see and from what the OP describes.

@PeterJones

I used the same source you did

Ihor Laputin

I see 7.8.5 on the your screen.
For me - issues with .wsc files happened om all version till 7.8.4.
The same as on the presentation from @PeterJones

@Ekopalypse maybe something with the Settings in Preferences? maybe there is checkbox that can disable autodetect while switching between Tabs?

Ihor Laputin

I found additional info.
This is not related to WSC extension.
The same happened with [New] file w/o saving - on the switch between Tabs will be same.
For repeat:

create 2 new tabs w/o saving
place <?xml version=“1.0”?> content into first Tab
switch to VB language
switch between Tabs
its again xml language switched

how disable in the options - auto choosing syntax?

@Ekopalypse ,

I just tried a fresh portable 7.8.5 RC1 and it matched your experience rather than my previous experience.

Weird. A fresh portable 7.8.4 also matched your experience. But if I go back to my customized 7.8.4 portable (which I normally use), then it shows what Ihor and I have been seeing.

There must be a setting or plugin that’s causing this discrepancy. I’ll do some more investigation and post again later.

Ekopalypse

My workhorse is 7.8.2 and it doesn’t happen.
@Ihor-Laputin - I’m not aware that any of the settings is dedicated to this
but maybe a combination of different settings or a side effect of one setting is responsible for our different behavior.

@PeterJones - if it is a plugin, then it might XMLTools, I will give it a try
on my side as well.

Ekopalypse

Yes, if XMLTools is used and the option Set XML type automatically is set, then this happens.
@Ihor-Laputin , do you use XMLTools plugin?

Ihor Laputin

@PeterJones YES! Man - its was good idea about plugin!!!
When you say plugin… I am going to check plugins that I have installed, and found [XML Tool 2.4.11]
that has has few settings. Only one option made this issues [Set XML type automatically] when this options is disabled - issue with autoswitching fixed.
Big thanks @PeterJones ))))

PeterJones

Well, I was working on confirming that disabling XML Tools worked for me when @Ekopalypse posted. Then I was working on confirming that disabling Set XML type automatically worked for me when @Ihor-Laputin posted.

I will just say “yep, those fixes work for me, too”, rather than all the details that used to be in this post-in-progress. :-)

Ihor Laputin

I am use XML tools everytime and in this case have this issues with WCS files few years as min.
Few years I have a problem with this and everyday used “Alt+L , V” … every day … few years… maybe I am crazy… I checked Editor settings a 1000 times …
… now I am FREEEEeeeeee … ))) I need to drink. Thanks a lot to all … today my new HB day ))))
