I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program. Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug. Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort". Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug. Here is a link to a bug report about it (on an official Notepad++ web site): There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document. Notepad++ 7.3.3 (32-bit) with Hex Editor Plugin v0.9.5 might allow user-assisted attackers to execute code via a crafted file, because of a Data from Faulting. So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. Note: To end the Notepad++ compare files process, you can click on Plugins > Compare > Clear Active Compare or Clear All. Now, it will compare the 2 files instantly and show you the differences between them. I copied PluginManager.dll from backup into the plugins directory in the Roaming tree, then ran GUP.exe from the Notepad++/updater directory to install the PM and upgrade it.I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix. Click on the Plugins menu and select Compare from the context menu, and then click on Compare from the sub-menu. I think that Plugin Manager is preserved if you do an in-place up-grade of NPP, but is lost on uninstall/reinstall. You might be able to just copy this file from backup, but I didn't try that. (4) Use an XML editor to merge the the backup copy of shortcuts.xml with the new file. (3) Copy backup copy of userDefinedLang.xlm into the corresponding new directory. (2) Completely uninstall the current version of NPP. (1) Make a backup copy of my NPP installation directories: Program Files (x86) and C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++. Here is how I got the new built-in Visual Prolog lexer to work in NPP while keeping my own lexers and macros:
Apparently you can manually install it from a previous version, but I haven't tried doing that yet. Plugin Manager is missing (for now) from NPP 7.5.
