Notepad++ v5.1 Release Candidate

Sorry but this must not be released as a final.

Two showstoppers:

---------------------------
Bug: Can't associate extensions.

In 5.1b UNICODE I can't associate new extensions in Preferences -> File Association dialog.
After adding extention (.txt for example), it is added to the list but after N++ restart it is gone.

I've monitored what happens with Process Monitor and it looks like N++ tries to change registry value to Notepad[square] (square being probably badly encoded ++ sign) but fails to do that so old value is still there.

Works fine in ANSI version.
---------------------------

---------------------------
Bug: FtpSynchronize plugin does not upload file on save

1. Connect to ftp
2. Double click file in ftp listing to open
3. Edit
4. Save

What happens: File is not uploaded back to server.

Reproduced both in ANSI and UNICODE versions.
---------------------------

FtpSynchronize bug is because of these lines:

if (BufferID != NULL) {
  SendMessage(nppData._nppHandle,NPPM_GETFULLPATHFROMBUFFERID,(WPARAM)BufferID,(LPARAM)openFile);

NPPM_GETFULLPATHFROMBUFFERID returns just filename instead of full path.

Here is diff to previous version: http://npp-plugins.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/npp-plugins/NppPlugins/FTP_synchronize/src/FTP_synchronize.cpp?r1=1.44&r2=1.45

Before it just did this to get path:
  SendMessage(nppData._nppHandle,NPPM_GETFULLCURRENTPATH,0,(LPARAM)openFile);

Please could you make notepad++ Really portable?

Now it writes (npp.5.0.3.bin.zip version) to PC host's registry without user consent (maybe you can do it as option):

----------------------------------
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notepad++_file
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notepad++_file\shell
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notepad++_file\shell\open
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notepad++_file\shell\open\command

----------------------------------

----------------------------------
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notepad++_file\shell\open\command\: ""F:\Programming\npp.5.0\notepad++.exe" "%1""
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Notepad++_file\: "Notepad++ Document"
----------------------------------

many thanks   :)

I hope in 5.1 the problem with search and replacement in all files will be precisely corrected?

I have a new (unofficial) version: 5.0.3_2

http://www.mediafire.com/?jnvvemyozke

Changes:
(for those of you who downloaded my previous one, this version includes several fixes)

Version 5.0.3_2 (compared to official 5.0.3)

Searching
Added - search history is preserved in the Find Results pane on subsequent searches. New search results are listed under a new tree in the Find Results pane. Old searches are collapsed beneath.
Added - Save find, replace, folder and filter history for the find dialog (loaded/saved on application startup/exit)
Text is added to the first location in the combo boxes - latest search appears first (on top) not last (on bottom).
Folder and filters are not automatically updated when lunching the find dialog (last folder/filters are preserved), but - on the first time the current folder and current language filters are loaded, even for user defined language.
Added - "Enter" in the Find Results pane: goes to the result or folds/unfolds level.
Added - "Del" in the Find Results pane deletes the current result or level.
Added - goto next/prev found result commands (not on menus, default shortcuts: F4 and Shift+F4).
Added - focus on Find Results pane command (not on menus, default shortcut: F7).
Added - "smart" highlighting of results in the Find Results pane (works with regular expressions, multi-words etc).
Removed - keywords for the Find Results pane.
Added - hit count per search and per file in Find Results pane
Allow using shortcuts in the Find Results pane (like F8 to get back to the editor)
Added - after search in files (or open files) the focus is set to the Find Results pane and the find dialog is hidden (in case something was found).
Fixed - searching in binary files could cause problems.
Fixed - search unicode strings in ANSI files and vice-versa (I think it is still buggy though).
Changed appearance of the Find dialog.
Added - shortcut keys for the Find dialog.
Removed - automatic bookmarks when double-clicking found result.

Window list (under Window->Windows menu)
Fixed - wrong files were closed when selecting "Close Windows".
Deselect lines when closing windows and selecting only one line instead.

Files
Allow editing read only files. Added - ask for removing write protection when saving.
Changed file reload warnings - "File->Reload from Disk" warns only if the file was changed but not saved.
Warn before reloading a file that was changed even if auto update is enabled.
Fixed - "cancel" on save file changes on application shutdown didn't prevent the shutdown.

Editing
Added - "Cut allow line". (if nothing is selected, the whole line is cut).
Set "Copy allow line" and "Cut allow line" as the default copy/cut.
Added - When copying a line using "Copy allow line", the line is selected (user feedback).

General
Changed - instead of switch to main/sub view commands there is only switch to other view command (default shortcut: F8).
Changed appearance of the Goto dialog.
Choose current x position when loading sessions (move up or down doen't go to beginning of line after loading session).

I would dearly love to use the Unicode version but so many extensions don't seem to be converted yet - especially Explorer and Favourites I can't do without on a day-to-day basis.
Spell-Checker?
Simple Script?
Color Picker?
Compare?
CharM?

I've posted this problem before but without any results so here again.

shortcuts.xml:
<Macro name="Trim Trailing and save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="83">
<Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " />
<Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " />
<Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " />
<Action type="0" message="2327" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="0" message="2327" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam="" />
</Macro>

Hey, what's the point of sending THREE times a SCI_REPLACESEL (2170) command and TWO times SCI_TAB (2327) command?
42024 and 41006 alone are enough. Please remove all the others, I guess there is no good reason to keep them. Only thing they do is they break that macro badly.

I already described and not time! "Search and replacement in all files" on cyrillics does not work.
I am repet: IN ALL FILES on cyrillics - not work.
The top post, is the citation from the previous theme of release 5.1. What that the person by name... Has laid out the version with corrections, take on a note. There bad things are corrected many.

As on UNICODE file LANG does not work.

Citation my old post:

Bugs with search and replace on cyrillics

1 - I Open N ++
2 - I Open 3 files (in each file there is a word "Привет")
3 - I Press "Find"
4 - For example a word "Привет" - rus 
5 - I Press " Find in all files " - finds nothing.
(But if to press simply FIND, finds).
6 - Similar occurs and with " Replace in all files "
!!! BUT in ENGLISH it perfectly finds!!!

You have understood a mistake about SEARCH? Also have considered исправленые mistakes of the version 503_2?
---------------------
The program is started but in French - but I am not assured, it can be and other language.
The conclusion - does not work nativeLang.xml
As I replace with version ANSI that the program becomes back in Russian.

Hello,
Please make Smart highlighting available to highlight all occurence of word in text (like in prev versions of npp), not only shown on screen

Thank you, npp rulezz!!

Hi again, "Clear ReadOnly flag" clears it flag only in NPP, not on file, after changes - you can't save file, you should remove it flag manully, in prev versions that was woks from npp.

Thank you.
