I installed NP++ 4.3 over 4.2.2 and replaced the new version styler.xml with my old customized styler.xml. However, I still only see the new default styler settings when I start NP++. I even removed the styler.xml from the C:\Program Files\Notepad++ directory to see if the NP++ creates one on the fly. Some how, my old file is not recognized by the NP++ 4.3. How can I make my old styler.xml file work in the newer version? I would hate to re-customize the new version all over. Any help is appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I don't know about 4.3, but in earlier versions if you didn't have "doLocalConf.xml" (a zero-length file) in your NPP install dir, it would get its settings and configuration from %APPDATA%\Notepad++\, or some other subdirectory under C:\Documents and Settings\.
This happens unless you check "Don't use %APPDATA%" (or something like that) when you install Notepad++. Unlike the other settings, it doesn't remember this one...

I confirm that v4.3 has the same behaviour.
