QuickOpen Plugin for notepad++
plugin for notepad++
This plugin mimics the "open selected file" in PSPad. I am a PHP developer and i often see an 'require_once("../this/is/some/file.php");'. In pspad you can select the whole path (../this/is/some/file.php) and open it from the menu. Now you can do the same in notepad++. Just select the whole path and press alt+o, or use the button in the toolbar on top. It will open the file automatically. The plugin understands the relative path. The code is also available on https://bitbucket.org/sgezel/quickopenplugin -

ASP.NET API Versioning
Libraries which add service API versioning to ASP.NET Web API
ASP.NET API versioning gives you a powerful, but easy-to-use method for adding API versioning semantics to your new and existing REST services built with ASP.NET. The API versioning extensions define simple metadata attributes and conventions that you use to describe which API versions are implemented by your services. You don't need to learn any new routing concepts or change the way you implement your services in ASP.NET today. The default API versioning configuration is compliant with the versioning semantics outlined by the Microsoft REST Guidelines. There are also a number of customization and extension points available to support transitioning services that may not have supported API versioning in the past or supported API versioning with semantics that are different from the Microsoft REST versioning guidelines. -

ClashN
A clash client for Windows, support Mihomo
clashN is a Windows desktop client for the Clash networking engine, providing a graphical interface to manage proxies, rules, and profiles. It wraps the Clash core in a familiar, configurable UI so users can import subscriptions, switch nodes, and observe connections without editing YAML by hand. The app emphasizes rule-based routing, letting you combine rule providers and policy groups to steer traffic by domain, process, or destination category. System-wide proxy control, including PAC and TUN/TAP options, helps route applications that don’t natively support proxies. Logs, traffic charts, and connection inspectors make troubleshooting and optimization straightforward. For power users, granular profile editing and hot-reloading reduce the friction of iterating on configurations. -
