A little remark:

I was always bitching about how Notepad++ didn't modify the modification date & time of a file. Well, turns out, ZoneAlarm was the responsible. Anyone having similar problems (e.g. CVS, SVN clients not recognizing modified files) should upgrade to a newer version.

I've hit a pretty nasty bug with 4.4 that has forced me back to 4.3.

With session restore enabled if I used the "Clone to another View" on any file then close npp, upon relaunching npp hangs and never starts. If I delete the session.xml then npp can start again but my remembered files are lost.

Hope I've given enough info to recreate the bug. Great editor keep up the good work!

I was hoping that the regular expression searches for beginning/end of line (^ and $) would be fixed, but nope, not this release. Will keep waiting.

Hi, thanks you Don for this new release.
This message seems to be more to jens than to Don, but this new version crash with a windows message when closing notepad++ if the explorer plugin 1.5.2 is present.

Thanks for developing Notepad++. Great program of its kind, but I don't use it, 'cause deletion operations of text ahead of the cursor insertion point (by keeping the Delete key down) takes much longer than on other text editors similar to it. Couldn't this somehow be changed using one of its setting windows?

Regards

Weren't we all!? But it's unlikely to happen, as it's a Scintilla problem, not a Notepad++ problem. There are workarounds, but the best (control+R without regex) doesn't allow you to do anything really complex. See http://notepad-plus.wiki.sourceforge.net/FindReplaceNewlineHowTo for details, if you haven't already.

I have no problem with new version of Notepad++. But there is an other known bug and will be fixed in 1.6 of Explorer.

Best Regards
Jens

Hello Don,

Auto-add extension feature in file save dialog is nice but I like to old view more than the new one. Please could you add the icons "My Recent Documents", "Desktop" etc. back.
And by the way, save machanism has a bug IMO.

If a "new X" document has for example the INNO language set and you want to save it as "foobar.iss" or "foobar" it works perfect. But if you want now to save the file, whereas language set still has INNO set, as a txt file in save dialog "foobar.txt" it still saves as "foobar.iss". So you are not able to save extensions that are not supported by Notepad at the moment.


Best Regards
Jens

I have the same problem Don.

Hi
Indeed it is not explorer plugin to blame but this so usefull function list 2.0 beta wgich seems to be respossible of the notepad++ crash when closing it. If Function list is displayed it crash if it is not displayed it close noteapd++ normally.

Thanks

OK, it'll be fixed in v4.4.1 which will be released this weekend.

Don

Similarly, the "config.xml" "stylers.xml", and all the other xml files aren't being read from the "%appdata%\Notepad++" folder.

Read "Where are Notepad++ settings saved?" in :

Thanks.

Wow. love the new save session feature where the multi-view session is preserved!! Now I don't have to rearrange my files everytime I open up N++!

Great feature Don!

Personally, I hardly ever use the [delete] key for more than one or two characters, for the same reason you're mentioning.
I always select the text to delete using shift+navigation keys (home, end, ctrl+left, ctrl+right, left, right, up, down, page up, page down, etc).
