    Hello Notepad++ users

    I proudly announce new versions of two plug-ins. They should solve some issues and crashes.
    Changes and links to download:

    Explorer 1.4 RC:

    Fix: Option dialog crashed if explorer wasn't used until Notepad++ startup.
    Fix: Automatic splitter moved in some cases. Now splitter is fix.
    New: Favorites stores the expand state.
    New: The user can choose between Windows system icons or standard icons of plug-in (useful for OS Windows 2000)
    New: Changeable timeout when explorer updates volume information of drives. Now unconnected network drives are shown "in time".

    HexEditor 0.8.3:

    Fix: Crash on adding text into edit field when Notepad is started without an opened document. (This crash could also be solved by removing the NppSearchInFiles plug-in).

    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=189927&atid=931289&file_id=229874&aid=1719751

    HELP NEEDED:
    The crash of HexEditor was caused since version 4.1 of Notepad and the simultaneously usage of NppSearchInFiles. Please can someone confirm that older version of Hex Editor works perfectly without installation of NppSearchInFiles? Could also someone confirm, that new version of HexEditor works good with NppSearchInFiles?

    Note: One issue is well known on using both plug-ins. After startup of Notepad++ it is not possible to switch into hex mode. Only after switch to another document hex mode works. If you remove again NppSearchInFiles - this change the behaviour of Notepad++ - HexEditor works correct again.

    Best Regards and thanks for any help
    Jens

      I was able to reproduce the error and released new versions of LightExplorer and SearchInFiles plugins. Both of them allow the HexPlugin to work now. You may update at:

      Thank you.

      Hello

      Yes, indeed. Could you please have a look into the application data folder? There meight be the file "Favourites.dat". Rename it and try again to start Notepad++.

      Please report me the results.

      Best Regards
      Jens

      I had same problem as Bob and removing Favourites.dat solved it.
      I was able to edit my old Favourites.dat file by adding the new "expand" elements and all is OK.
