First of all, thank you all for the wonderful work you are making.
NP++ is the best IDE for me.
I use it to write c/c++ software and it has a lot of very useful functions.
I'm asking you all: do you have in the list of the new features something about the creation of project?
It can be useful something like this: you can define a project folder; in this project you have additional features like advanced search ( you can use a cache to speed up the search ) or a search the function declaration/definition.
Thank you for your wonderful work. Maybe one day I can offer myself in help you for writing some small piece of code, if you like.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It has been said before and will be said again, NotePad++ is a text editor and not a development environment. IDE's server this type of purpose, while text editors are useful for editing text.

The above description is not accurate.
Notepad++ could be a IDE if you load specific plugins.

The session file (save/load session) is kind of project file, with which you can save and load a set of files.
If you're looking for a project manager user interface, I suggest you post this feature request on Plugins forum.
All the interface (the messages in Notepad++) regarding this part is ready to use, so implementing a project manager plugin should be easy to do.

You encourage me to post this by saying “Notepad++ could be a IDE if you load specific plugins”.
Well then as to support the IDE functionality, I will like to have 2 features in N++, which I already mentioned in earlier post.
1. Grouping the opened files.
Frankly, I haven’t used the session functionality much. But there should be functionality to group the files in editor. And best way to display it is by showing Tabs over the tables.
You may call it as project or Group. And may show it in right/Left pane or as I mentioned above. I will like that.
My concern about to call it as Project is it feels like editor is made for developer. The people using this editor other than development will feel appropriate.
The use of these groups can be used to open more than one actual project. A project file will be helpful to open the group of files.
Also as I mentioned earlier. Find/Replace functionality need to be implemented for group.
2. SVN/CVS support.
This is also I have mentioned earlier. I found one plug in to compare file with SVN. This gave encouragement to request this feature.
What I would like here is
CVS compare
CVS Commit/Update
SVN Commit/Update
Commit/Update is available in Visual Studio for VSS. But none of IDE/editor support CVS and SVN better. As a leading editor NPP should support that.
Well some one will not like these features in NPP because these are related to developers. But my frank opinion about this is NPP is text editor. If any one likes to draft a letter, it will prefer MS Word or Open Office. NPP mostly used by developers. These features will defiantly encourage developers.
And in this post “I” is developer.
I will again mention to all. Please post your comments to these features.

To be blunt, use Visual Studio if you want this.
It has been said before and will be said again, NotePad++ is a text editor and not a development environment. IDE's server this type of purpose, while text editors are useful for editing text.
