    Notepad++ Plugin Manager

    Notepad++ Plugin Manager

    The nppPluginManager repository contains the legacy Plugin Manager for Notepad++, a tool that once allowed users to easily install, update, and remove plugins within the editor. It relied on a centrally hosted XML file that listed available plugins, which the manager compared against those already installed. Since 2019, however, the plugin is no longer actively maintained, and the supporting web service that provided plugin lists has been discontinued. Users are now encouraged to rely on Notepad++’s built-in plugin solution instead of this deprecated tool. This project is the old location for the plugin list for Notepad++ Plugin Manager. Please use https://github.com/bruderstein/npppluginmanager for any issues and current code

    Notepad++

    Notepad++

    Free, open-source text editor

    Notepad++ is a source code editor that is free to use and is available in various languages. The source code editor is also written in C++ and is based on the Scintilla editing component. Notepad++ offers a wide range of features, such as autosaving, line bookmarking, simultaneous editing, tabbed document interface, and many more features. Over 140 plugins are also available to use in the default program. Notepad++ takes advantage of higher execution speed and smaller program size by using Win32 API and STL. The ability to optimize efficiency without sacrificing user-friendliness results in an environment-friendly technology that reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Ultimately, the reduction in power consumption is much better for the environment while still being a viable option for businesses.

    AnalysePlugin
    Shorten your time of reading mega bytes of log files! DE 2016-01 Supporting Don HO's NotePad++ see http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ This sources are a dockable pattern search plugin for Notepad++ version 5.1 or later. With this plugin you can search for multiple patterns in any of the opened documents in NotePad++. You may want to tune your search using all fancy tricks from NPP like regular expressions or escaped patterns and give each of the searches different colors. The result will be stored in a dockable window in same ordering as in the origin and a double click allows you to jump to the original position. It is designed to treat log-files of typical size like 60MB. More features can be found in the help dialogue of the plugin. For generating the dll file I use a msdev compiler. If you like to port it to other OSs just let me know your changes and I'll incorporate it. Best Regards, Mattes H.
