I just tried out the possibilites of the favorites in NPP 4.7.5. I created links to files in the [Files] section, added some groups, moved the links there... But when I tried to delete a link, Notepad++ crashed! Is this a known bug that will be fixed in the next release?

I did some operations (add some links and deletes them), it works for me without crash.
Can you reproduce the crash 100%?
If yes, could you post your complete procedure so that I can try to reproduce it?
Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I use Windows XP, SP2, and I had just updated Notepad++ from 4.3 to 4.7.5. I don't know if the problem already existed in earlier versions, I had tried out the favorites for the first time yesterday.

BTW: Is there a way to put a link directly into a group (say "myproject" under "files") instead of first putting it into "files" and then move it? Also: Is it possible when clicking on a session to open it to have all currently open files be closed first? Or to have tabs visually "gouped" somehow into sessions? Otherwise, when switching between sessions, I quickly get a lot of open tabs where files often have the same name, like "index.php" (from folder A) and "index.php" from folder B.
And while I'm thinking of it: Is there a command line switch to tell Notepad++ to start with a specific session? I know there is an option to have Notepad++ start without opening any session, so why not tell it to open a specific session?

It is possible! If you select a file or folder in Explorer you can add it via context menu to favorites. The shown dialog gives you the possibility to add it in any Group. Just double click on the bottom item ([Files]/[Folders]) and you can browse through the tree. This also works with the Favorites icon bar.
> Is it possible when clicking on a session to open it to have all currently open files be closed first?
Yes indeed. Do also right click to open context menu and select "Reopen". But now I see, it is a little bit inconvenient. Maybe it is better to have on double click a "Open" like open this session and to have in context menu a "Add to current session".
So menu change might be:
"Open" will be "Add to current session"
"Reopen" will be "Open" (also available by double click)
> Is there a command line...
Please have therefore a look onto the Notepad++ homepage. If I remember me correctly, support to open session files from Windows Explorer is implemented. Is this correct Don?

[Putting a link directly into a group]
Thanks - it works :-) But I think it is not very intuitive having to double click there as there is no visual information about the fact that there is something "underneath". Why not have a [+] symbol in front and have the subgroups open with a single click like in the explorer?
[Reopen a session]
Thanks again - it works :-) But, again, it is not very intuitive. How about "Switch to this session"?
[Command line option to open a session]
Sorry, but I could not find any command line switch doing that in the corresponding FAQ section. There's only -nosession. (And in the German version, not even that...).

Ok, I published a new version! Crash shouldn't happen anymore. I changed in addition the behaviour of double click and the context menu. Please have a look into Plugins forum.

Hallo Jens,
Seems to work perfectly now :-)
Danke + viele Grüße,
Thomas

If yes, could you post your complete procedure so that I can try to reproduce it?
Thank you.
Don
I just reproduced the crash by cutting and pasting operations to move the links into the groups.
What is your OS? xp or vista?
Don
Hello Don,
this is a known bug. I can reproduce it also here on my system. It is OS independent and this bug is on my to do list for next fix.
Best Regards
Jens
