The "auto add extension" behaviour in save dialog implemented in v4.4 has a back-draw. It does not allow users to save files with the extensions they want.
This behaviour is tuned up in this version as following :
1. The filter *.* don't change the extension at all, whatever users type.
2. The file save dialog will be launched with the filter *.* set as default. So user can add any customized extension.
3. Choose other filters will change extension of file automatically.
For example, a file name "toto.php" will be changed to "toto.txt" if the filter Normal Text "*.txt" is chosen.
It's a better compromise IMO for the ones who need the "auto add extension" feature and those who don't.
Another implemented feature in this version is to associate a session extension to Notepad++, so that when Notepad++ opens such file, the session (a set of files) will be opened
but not session file itself.
Once users define their session file extension (in Preference dialog->MISC), a session can be opened not only via File load session command, but also via whichever way.
Please post your bug report here if you have any *critical* bug for this version.

I had quite a few problems with the "auto add extension" behaviour, especially since User Defined language styles aren't even in the list of possible extensions. It's quite annoying to have to save all your template files as text files first, then renaming them and reloading them in the editor.

Add your extension under the *.* filter.
It allows user to save file with their customized extension.
A tip for those ones want to save html file with extension .htm in stead of .html :
Edit langs.xml, find the tag with name="html", then make ext="htm html" instead of ext="html htm".
Save langs.xml, quit Notepad++ then relaunch it.
Of course, the similar manipulation works for witch ever supported language.

Wow, 4.5?! What's the advantage of upgrading from v 3.7 if I'm not a programmer, but just use Notepad++ as a superior text editor and HTML helper? Should I just stick with what's working now?

I can't change my tab settings. When click on the tab setting (default 4), a modal pops up, you can change the number, there is no save button, just an X, clicking the X reverts the number to 4. I have tried closing n++ and changing the config.xml file manually to 2. <GUIConfig name="TabSetting" size="2" replaceBySpace="yes" /> When I tab I still get 4 spaces.

I've found a minor bug in version 4.5
The line number margin setting is only possible for the primary view, I can't change the secondary view. If I try, I also change the primary view.

But NP++ 4.5 is the best version so far! Good work Don, thank you!

What is the maximum file size notepad++ can handle? Every time I open the file over 200 MB (256 MB to be exact), application crash. Also, when it's crash all the opened file/tab are gone, and need to reopen the files. Can it be changed to handle any size?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Nice work. Will go through testing it tonight and see if there are any bugs to report. :)
Do we want a Changelog on the Wiki?
I don't think it's necessary.
However, you can do it if you want.
Don
Very nice. going to use it.
Duh, I even missed 4.3 and 4.4, it seems. Thanks to all for the effort.
Very nice!

Greets
Yes, because the structure of session file is changed to adapt new session behaviour (remember files opened in 2 views).
Don
I keep hoping for the regular expression bug fix every release (replacing ^ and $), but it does not seem like it's happening. Too bad.

> Don HO: the shorcut mapper interface display problem for Russian is fixed in v4.5. I can not test it, so please let me know if this part is fixed.
Yes, this problem fixed. Thanx!
But the problem with switching between Tabs with Alt+arrow without showing menu not fixed :(

C'mon you loser. We are Notepad++ users. WE ARE NERDS!
We are not interested in nudity.
NERDS ALSO NEED SEX.
