Notepad++ v4.1 is released. In this version not only the interface of Find in files dialog is improved distinctly, but find, replace and find in files dialogs are now 3 in 1.
The version 1.73 of Scintilla include the CMake lexer. And just by chance, I worked a lot with CMake recently at my work, so I updated Scintilla from v1.71 to v1.73, and supports the language of CMake. CMakeLists.txt is also available for the source code of Notepad++ (in "src" directory). It's tested only with the generation of VC project file, but not with the generation of MinGW makefile.
Another new feature is the clickable http URL. It's quite a gadget, but I like it.
3 new plugins are added in this release : SpellChecker, NppExec and QuickText. SpellChecker help you to corect the tipos in your document. You should have aspell instaled to make it work. With NppExec plugin you can execute your commands or saved scripts without leaving Notepad++. It makes you triple your productivity! QuickText is a snippet manager. Once you define all your snippet in you beloved language, type the macro keyword then Ctrl+Enter - I can hear you say "wow".
v4.1 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.0.2) :
1. Fix the crash issue while saving settings on quit.
2. Fix the crash issue while using the command line with one launched Notepad++ instance.
3. Enhance Find in files feature :
a. Improve Find in files user interface (more intuitive).
b. The search result (also for find in all opened files) is docked on the bottom of Notepad++.
c. Recursive search is optional.
d. Search result is collapsable by file.
e. User defined keywords for search result.
4. Add tabbing interface in Find dialog : Find/Replace/Find in files
5. Add clickable URL http link feature (double click to trigger).
6. Add cmake language support.
7. Add mark all without launching Find dialog (Ctrl+M).
8. Fix the ROFL (Recent Opened File List) bug : try to open a non-existing file from ROFL, the full file path doesn't be removed from ROFL.
9. Enhance the backup feature : in verbose mode, the file will be backed up in .\nppBackup directory.
10. Update Scintilla component to v1.73

Dear Don!
NPP is my best favourite editor. However, while working in Japanese project i can not use NPP. It's better if NPP support Shift-JIS and EUC encode.
Best regard.
P/S : Sorry about my bad English.

I suggest adding two options to make the mark all function better:
1) Option for mark all with bookmarks, show that users can press F2 to go to the matched words.
2) Option for erasing previous marking (i.e. Ctrl+Shift+M) for each new marking, so users can mark all quickly without press Ctrl+Shift+M each time.

I installed 4.1 over 4.0.2. I like the new find-in-files enhancements (improvement 3), except that the default search directory and the default smart filter are now both empty.
When I click "Find them all" without selecting any directory or specifying any filter, Notepad++ goes away for a long time after blanking the find-in-files dialog. It then returns with no matches after giving the hard drive a hard workout.
It seems to work properly when I manually navigate to the current directory and manually specify a list of *.extensions.
Is this unusual? Do others have the same behavior with 4.1 as with 4.0.2, or do they see blanks when they select "find in files"? --Joel

I have the same behaviour MJG, unfortunately the find-in-files feature becomes quite unusable like this. I also have a non-default color scheme on my files (I use a black background with adapted syntax highlighting), and I noted the found files dialog appears to use some other scheme (the code appears on a white background).

Notepad++ 4.1
Hex Editor Plugin v0.8.0 (released with Notepad++ 4.1) and current v0.8.1 final
I get an immediate crash when ever I enter the first letter in a blank file or any loaded file. Happens also from files loaded by double-click.
The exception Integer division by zero (0xc0000094) occurred in the application at location 0x018a3592. If I click on OK to terminate I get the following error:
The instruction at 0x00425f3b referenced memory at 0x000007f4. The memory could not be read.
This is entirely repeatable. If I rename HexEditor.dll so that it isn't loaded the crash does not occur. Likewise if I use plugin v0.7.0.
This did not occur with 4.1RC either.
System is Win2K SP4.

Thanks for the feedback; that means it's no longer a personal problem. ;-)
I'll see about posting a bug report and include the background color issue. --Joel

Please make a bug report on http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/.

Done

Regarding clickable links. It recognizes http:// but not https://.
Also, it causes all the text to flicker. Otherwise very good! thanks.
Hello Don,
I don't like the flickering, too. We should think about to move it into a plugin. So you can disable it and/or extend recognition of other links.
Best Regards
Jens
It'll be optional in v4.1.1
Don
The flicker is very anoying. How can I disable this 'gadget'?
The "close" button in the find dialog is shifted to the left. Is there anyone also have this problem? Or just mine?
My screen resolution is 1280x800.
