I am not talking about the clone _View_. I simply mean a creating an editable copy of an existing document, when you don't want to overwrite the original file, but create a new version starting from the same content.

It would be nice if NP++ handled this itself, storing (almost) the complete session and environment and perhaps even (multi-)views on close of the program. Only when you manually close a not saved document, the question about whether you want to finally save your file should pop up. So, when you restart NP++, you can just continue where you left before closing.

I want to suggest an feature. (It may be present already, but I've failed to discover it).
I sometimes need to edit a file which filename is under cursor.
E.g, for a TeX module included as
\usemodule[CADD0.tex]
I instinctively make left click on the filename while holding the Ctrl button trying yo invoke it in the editor. I think this can be implemented easily if to assume that files reside in the same directory.
I saw this feature somewhere sometime and it is really useful!
Thanks a lot for your good app,

Some things I would very much like to see in the next release:
- remember "ignore document end"/wrap search option. Very annoying is a never ending "search next" using F3. Only if I look at the scroll bar can I finally tell I have been going round for what may seem like forever. Please turn it the other way around. If my search reaches the end of the document, make the same message appear. Users who want wrapped search are triggered at that moment so they can change the option. Currently, users who want the message, never get it... Optionally, remember this setting. That would be the best thing to do.
- open documents of the session with the same language setting as they were shown when closing NP++. This should be standard, just as the opened files themselves are saved (listed).
- allow renaming unsaved documents. This would be very convenient to already name a document you're working on, which you may eventually not save at all. Also creating a clone of an existing document is something I would like.
- (perhaps optionally) save unsaved documents to a temporary folder, as part of the session, to open them on the next start-up. This gets rid of the need to save documents I may not want to keep eventually. This goes for new documents, but also existing documents I do not yet want to overwrite, but continue to work on later, could be stored safely this way. When NP++ opens again, the documents can be marked as "changed" right-away. It's not necessary, but could also be possible, to store all undo information, until the document is finally closed.

I have created a folder just for temporary files and I have a scheduled task that clears it weekly. I just save them all in there.

Just curious when the next release is planned and what features are being worked on (if any)...
for date I have no idea.
For functionality don has already said that there will be an excellent edit column mode as in Ultra Edit, but may be others
My laptop was ruined by my smelly cat.
By trying to jump to my desk, she reversed one cup of coffee on it.
It will cost me very expensive (1 thousand euros !) to repare it, so I just let it die (laptop, not cat).
So now I'm waiting my laptop manufactory returns me back my dead laptop in order to get all my development from the hard disk.
Please be patient, and pray with me for the Notepad++ release v4.2 (and for my beloved VAIO TX3XP).

You won't say so if your beloved laptop is screwed ;)

You're absolutely right.
The SVN is just available (V4.2 ready) :

Use Alt-F5 or Run: Open File.

How can it have a name if you haven't saved it yet?
For cloning, do you mean creating a duplicate file or another view of the same file? If the latter, read about multi-view - http://notepad-plus.wiki.sourceforge.net/Multi-ViewHowTo
