For number 1, there is an option during installation when you choose your
components
called "Don't use %APPDATA%". Make sure that is unchecked and you should be
fine.
I looked, but I couldn't find an option inside of N++ to change it, so you may
need to reinstall.

Bit of a weird one this, just wondered if anyone else had had this happen to
them...
Using Notepad++ 5.2 (UNICODE) on XP Pro SP3.
Sometimes I'll go to open Notepad++ either by clicking the icon on my Quick
Launch bar, using the Start menu "Run..." option, or using Launchy (yeah, I
know, I'm hilariously inconsistent). Anyway, however many times I run it, the
window just doesn't appear - nothing on the task bar, nothing on the desktop.
So, I'll then open Task Manager and there will be at least one "notepad++.exe"
process running (sometimes more). Even after killing off the process(es) and
trying again, Notepad++ just won't reappear. The only way I've found to get
the window back up is to actually go to the command line (cmd.exe), cd to
C:\Program
Files\Notepad++ and run "notepad++.exe" from there. Then for some reason it
instantly reappears.
I've only had this happen a couple of times, so I haven't really got to the
bottom of what's going on. I just wondered if anyone else had noticed it, or
if I'm going mad?
cheers!
Pete

Forrest, thanks for the reply.
Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing this option upon install, but
I suspect I didn't change the default setting since I didn't really understand
what it meant.
At any rate, out of curiosity, I pulled up two command prompts: one elevated
(admin), one not elevated (user). I then checked the value of %appdata%. It
was identical in both cases ("C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming"). This is
not along the path to the VirtualStore, which is where the non-admin copy of
the config file is stored. There is no subdirectory for "Notepad++" at
%appdata%,
although there are subdirectories for a number of other applications installed
on the machine. This implies two things: 1) that the value of %appdata% does
not depend on whether the user is admin or not, and 2) that in any event,
Notepad++
on my system is not using %appdata%.
I'll keep hunting around in the config files to see if I can change that option
somehow, but this is still not desirable behavior, and should still be fixed
even if that checkbox is significant. At the very least, the user should be
informed during installation that that option might or might not be necessary
under Vista, assuming it really is at the root of this problem. Better would
be for the application to recognize when it is running (or installing) under
Vista, and set the defaults accordingly. Best would be for the application
to be tolerant of Vista's VirtualStore and allow the config file to be read
successfully, regardless of where the OS forces it to be.

I've seen this happen a lot of times but do not know how to reproduce
it. But I never managed to get it to run by running notepad++ from the
command line. I always just assumed that there was something buggy in
some shutdown code that caused the process to hang before exiting and
killed it from the task manager. Then it displayed correctly on the next
run.

Subject: [Notepad-plus-plus] Invalid 'Trim Trailing and save' macro
definition + a patch suggestion.

Hi all.
The 'Trim Trailing and save' macro included in the default Notepad++
distribution seems to be buggy. It adds some unnecessary whitespace if
run when the caret is not located at the end of a line.
To fix this replace the following code in the default shortcuts.xml file:
> <Macro name="Trim Trailing and save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes"
> Key="83">
> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" "
> />
> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" "
> />
> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" "
> />
> <Action type="0" message="2327" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
> <Action type="0" message="2327" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam=""
> />
> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam=""
> />
> </Macro>
with the following:
> <Macro name="Trim Trailing and save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes"
> Key="83">
> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam=""
> />
> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam=""
> />
> </Macro>
Hope this helps.

The file npp.5.2.release.md5 contains the MD5 hashes for an old version of
Notepad++.
I tried 2 mirrors.

Hi everyone,
I've recently started using Notepad++ for editing xml files. What i've found
is that in a lot of cases, the syntax highlighting is not working properly.
Often times, most of the xml will appear in black text. Sometimes the first
half displays with proper highlighting then all of a sudden the highlighting
is not there. I'm using the latest version of Notepad++. I have the xmltools
plugin installed. I can also see that the file is properly recognized as
'eXtensible
Markup Language'. Here is a simple example of a block of xml where highlighting
is not working properly:
<Script>
<Main>
<!-- testing testing 1 2 3 -->
<blah name="test"/>
</Main>
</Script>
When i open up the above xml in notepad++, the 'Script' node's opening tag and
closing tag are highlighted blue. However, everything inside of the Script node
is black. (ie. no syntax highlighting)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what could be causing this and whether
or not there is anything i can do to fix it?
Without proper highlighting i don't think i will be able to continue using
notepad++,
even though i like it for everything else.
Thanks very much for the help.
-Dave

First off, the more I code over the years, the more I find myself using
Notepad++,
even against other commercial products. So thank you for an excellent product,
and its extensibility. Especially the TextFX features. (If only someone would
create a UNICODE version of the color picker [insert rolling-eyes emoticon
here]).
Now, on to new 5.2 functionality...
I really like the new 'replace in files' feature. I have wanted this for a
long time.
I must admit I'm not that thrilled with the way the new search results are now
laid out. For one thing, my custom color scheme no longer seems to work with
some of the text styles, in particular 'search result > NUMBER', which doesn't
seem to correctly recognize the background color for line numbers. Also,
keeping
previous search results in the search window should be an option, not a rule.
I do a lot of searching, and don't generally need to keep previous results.
It starts to clutter things up after a while, even if it is collapsible. I
know that you can DEL results as needed, but I'd rather just not have them saved
at all, given the choice.
I do like the 'Searching... Press Enter to Cancel' feature. It is a nice
option,
just in case.
I do NOT in any way like the fact that when a search is over that the search
window now closes. I search for things constantly in code and keep the search
window open with transparency as a rule. Having to reopen the window seriously
interferes with my workflow. So much so that I uninstalled 5.2 and reinstalled
5.1.4. Please, please, please create an option somewhere to keep the search
window open after a completed search. Please! I do not want to keep hitting
Ctrl-Shift-F every time I need to do a new search. Seems like a small thing,
I'm sure, but it's a big thing to me. Half of my 'programming time' is spent
searching for functions/variables/etc. in mountains of other people's code.
Having the window stay open helps my life considerably.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
PS: The news section of the webpage
(http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm)
is pretty dated. You should probably just link to the Sourceforge page
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/), or kill the section off
entirely
for this site version. It almost makes it look like Notepad++ is abandoned
- the last version being listed as 4.9 Worker's Day Edition.
