New: UNICODE support for Notepad++ 5.1

Win32 Exception when using Find [NPP-P-B-2016651]

After installing Window Manager I could only activate it once. After that first usage N++ crashes every time I activate WinMgr!
Which additionally information do you need?
I deleted the ini file but that doesn't fix the problem.
Do I have to remove/reset something else?
Thanks in advance for the help.
wkr,

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Found bug in Explorer (UNI): Context menu "Add to Favorites" for a drive root (not a folder) = crash...but it can be added manually...though not through the UI, only by typing in.
One easy, yet invaluable feature request, if i may. (this will make my life, and hopefully others', much easier):
Add the ability to replace the top pane with Favorites instead of Explorer...and keep the bottom pane as-is - displaying contents of the selected favorites location. Having favorites in a different tab makes it very inconvenient to use - i have 9 drives, and i need to use only the last one in the list, so most of the space is wasted and never used. I can add the drive to favorites which filters out anything i dont need...the ability to just click the favorite and see the content below would be ideal and efficient. Please implement.
----continued pondering-----
....or perhaps (instead?) the ability to set a working "root" folder that can be saved with the session...and filter out everything else in the explorer view - this might actually be much closer to the behavior i'd like to see, now that i think longer about it. - cause every project typically has a root folder, and often little need to interact with other directory structures...but make an unhide ability (mappable to shortcut key combo maybe) that would show you the full tree if needed for quick operations.
thx,
Leon

Thank you Jens,
your work is very appreciated, as always.
However, like the other guy who has already asked this a few posts above.. what about the function list plugin?
I develop php with notepad++ and i really can't do without it.
Can we hope to see it ported to unicode?
thank you,
Francesco

In the Favourites I added a Group to the [Folders] section but when it wrote the Favorites.dat file the "#GROUP" section ended with "#EN" - instead of "#END<newline>".
This causes an error when next starting Notepad++ and the saved Favourites are lost.

Hello Jens, thanks for your update. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I can't get Explorer to work. I have a new fresh install of Notepad++ 5.1.1 and I copied the Explorer.dll file to the plugins folder.
When I go to run Explorer, I get a Win32 Exception
Code: 0xC0000005
Type: access violation
Exception Adress: 0x003C047A
I am running Windows XP x64 edition here, maybe that is the problem?
Thanks so much :)

Thank you thank you thank you! The lack of a file explorer plugin was the only thing keeping me from switching over to unicode, and the hex editor update is just icing on the cake!
Just for the record, I'm running the latest installable on Vista x64 and have no trouble with the file explorer plugin, even on repeated closings and re-launchings.

Hello Jens.
After installing Window Manager I could only activate it once. After that first usage N++ crashes every time I activate WinMgr!
Which additionally information do you need?
I deleted the ini file but that doesn't fix the problem.
Do I have to remove/reset something else?
Thanks in advance for the help.

seems to work again after a proper shutdown of n++ - sorry for the panic!

Jens - this is pure, unadulterated awesomeness.

Thanks Jens.
I think I found another bug in Explorer 1.8.0:
In the Favourites I added a Group to the [Folders] section but when it wrote the Favorites.dat file the "#GROUP" section ended with "#EN" - instead of "#END<newline>".
This causes an error when next starting Notepad++ and the saved Favourites are lost.
Hello,
I will do immediately a patch for both Explorer issues.
Thanks for your support
Jens
Hello Jens, thanks for your update. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I can't get Explorer to work. I have a new fresh install of Notepad++ 5.1.1 and I copied the Explorer.dll file to the plugins folder.
