Thanks to Yuval, "Find in files/Find in all opened files" features in Notepad++ v5.2 are enhanced considerably. The found result user interface is improved. Each search results are conserved and user can remove (DEL) unneeded results.
A frequent demanded feature "Replace in files" is added in this release. This feature is kind of overwhelming since it's irreversible, so beware of its usage (The warning has been given, the fate is now your own).
Several irritated crash issues are solved in this release. If you find another one, please let me know.
Notepad++ v5.2 new feature and fixed bugs (from v5.1.4) :
1. Fix Function Tip crash issue.
2. Fix the find in files crash bug while cloned views are side by side and focus is on main view.
3. Fix a crash bug after searching/replacing in files returned with no results.
4. Enhance "Find in all opened files" and "Find in files" features.
5. Add Replace in files feature.
6. Fix command line parsing to accept unquoted files as single argument.
7. Refine "open ANSI files as UTF8 w/o BOM" feature.
8. Add minidump feature in the case of crash for debug use.
9. Adjust PostIt/FullScreen behaviour to mix well together.
10. The file filters and the directory are set while find/replace/findInFiles dialog is launched.
11. Adding find in files filters supports user defined language.
12. Fix the bug that texts in combo box of Find dialog are restored not in order on the launch time.
13. Add NPPM_DOOPEN plugin message.
I noticed that in the download page, the "Number of Downloads" appears briefly and then disappears - I found that by using the "Options" link I can make the Number of Downloads column display - but when I began downloading the win32 installer file it was 0 downloads, so I thought I am the first person to download the file. Now even after I ahve completed downloading the file, and refreshing the page 2 times, the download counter is still at 0..
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The version number on Notepad++ site is updated.
Thanx for the hands up.
I suppose the statistic number of download page will be updated the one day later, so no one will never know who is the first to download the fresh release.

The new added commands:
Switch to found results window (F7)
Goto next/previous found result (F4/Shift+F4)
are not documented in the changelog, and are also not on the menus so I thought I should mention them here.
It's also possible to delete results (single or whole trees) from the results window by pressing the Delete key, or going to a found result by pressing the Enter key (equivalent to double-click)

I'm not sure if it's only me but I don't think the stylers.xml file was updated correctly when installing v5.2 over a previous version.
If you go to:
1. Settings->stylers configurator
2. Under language choose "Search result" (last one)
3. and under "Style:" you see that the style names are all capitalized ("DEFAULT", "SELECTED LINE", ... "KEYWORD2"), you are using the WRONG styles for the search results.
In that case you need to update the 'LexerType name="searchResult"' section of the stylers.xml from stylers.model.xml
stylers.xml is usually in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Notepad++\stylers.xml
and stylers.model.xml is usually in:
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\stylers.model.xml
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Download this file
DO NOT install anything in this archive - it contains a trojan. What is of interest is the file in the archive that says "Dont Open!.txt".
I extracted the archive and right clicked on the text file and chose "open with Notepad++" and within a few seconds my Display driver crashed! It happens every time with Notepad++. Then I had no option but to reboot - then it works normally.
Normal Windows Notepad works by opening the file - it is just a 11 MB text file that is filled with z's. But Notepad++ seems to have some memory allocation issues so it crashes the XP display driver. Anybody else got the same problem?

Why do you ask us to download a trojan-infected 8Mb archive, when you could only upload the text file to the RapidShare? The text file zipped is only 11Kb.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Why the Find dialog is closed when finding something after "Find all in all opened documents"? I have to open the Find dialog again to search for another phrase in all files.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Because usually after searching in files you want to browse through the results and locate them. After the search the focus is set on the found results so you can scroll/delete/or goto a found result using the keyboard.
If there is demand - I suppose it's worth considering making this behavior optional.
Note - it is possible to launch the find dialog using Ctrl+F (or use any other shortcut) even when the focus is on the found results - this is a new feature.

With this version every file I open from external applications (commandline, explorer, ...) is opened in a new window instead of reusing the existing window and just opening a new tab. Downgrading to 5.1.4 fixes this.

I just downloaded the 5.2 version. By the way the main page here
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
still shows 5.1.4.
I noticed that in the download page, the "Number of Downloads" appears briefly and then disappears - I found that by using the "Options" link I can make the Number of Downloads column display - but when I began downloading the win32 installer file it was 0 downloads, so I thought I am the first person to download the file. Now even after I ahve completed downloading the file, and refreshing the page 2 times, the download counter is still at 0..

Ok when I tested Notepad++ 5.1.4 with VirusTotal I never got any suspect in VirusTotal.com
Now Sunbelt says it is "Corrupted Archive"
Report here:
http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/4df5ce9e3b9aa11e917b9d02bd8969e6
But I got it to install properly though
Thanks for the new release! :)
Building the 5.2 in Visual Studio 2008 Express gave two unresolved external symbol errors:
Error 188 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __thiscall MiniDumper::writeDump(struct _EXCEPTION_POINTERS *)" (?writeDump@MiniDumper@@QAE_NPAU_EXCEPTION_POINTERS@@@Z) referenced in function __catch$_WinMain@16$0 winmain.obj
Error 189 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall MiniDumper::MiniDumper(void)" (??0MiniDumper@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _WinMain@16 winmain.obj
Error 190 fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals ../bin/notepad++Debug.exe
I thought the project file might missing DbgHelp.lib and MiniDump.lib so I added them to the linker's additional dependencies but still no go.
Any ideas?

Just including both h and cpp files of MiniDumper in :
PowerEditor\src\MISC\Exception\ will solve your linking problem.
Don
hrrmmm; perhaps I am being dense, but include them where?
In your project file vcproj.
Don
LOL; yep I was being dense.
Took a closer look and noticed they where not included into the project. I read 'included' and thought "WTF #include?"
Did an add existing item to project for both the .h and .cpp and all is good now. :)
Thanks again Don.

Hi Don/all,
The new added commands:
Switch to found results window (F7)
Goto next/previous found result (F4/Shift+F4)
are not documented in the changelog, and are also not on the menus so I thought I should mention them here.
It's also possible to delete results (single or whole trees) from the results window by pressing the Delete key, or going to a found result by pressing the Enter key (equivalent to double-click)

Hi Don/all again,
I'm not sure if it's only me but I don't think the stylers.xml file was updated correctly when installing v5.2 over a previous version.
If you go to:
1. Settings->stylers configurator
2. Under language choose "Search result" (last one)
3. and under "Style:" you see that the style names are all capitalized ("DEFAULT", "SELECTED LINE", ... "KEYWORD2"), you are using the WRONG styles for the search results.
In that case you need to update the 'LexerType name="searchResult"' section of the stylers.xml from stylers.model.xml
stylers.xml is usually in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Notepad++\stylers.xml
and stylers.model.xml is usually in:
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\stylers.model.xml
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yuval
Ok this is a different problem with v5.2
To reproduce the problem

DO NOT install anything in this archive - it contains a trojan. What is of interest is the file in the archive that says "Dont Open!.txt".
I extracted the archive and right clicked on the text file and chose "open with Notepad++" and within a few seconds my Display driver crashed! It happens every time with Notepad++. Then I had no option but to reboot - then it works normally.
Normal Windows Notepad works by opening the file - it is just a 11 MB text file that is filled with z's. But Notepad++ seems to have some memory allocation issues so it crashes the XP display driver. Anybody else got the same problem?
Why do you ask us to download a trojan-infected 8Mb archive, when you could only upload the text file to the RapidShare? The text file zipped is only 11Kb.
Why the Find dialog is closed when finding something after "Find all in all opened documents"? I have to open the Find dialog again to search for another phrase in all files.
Because usually after searching in files you want to browse through the results and locate them. After the search the focus is set on the found results so you can scroll/delete/or goto a found result using the keyboard.
If there is demand - I suppose it's worth considering making this behavior optional.
Note - it is possible to launch the find dialog using Ctrl+F (or use any other shortcut) even when the focus is on the found results - this is a new feature.
> If there is demand - I suppose it's worth considering making this behavior optional.
It might worth to do a survey to define this behaviour.
But it won't be optional because the clutter is what I want to avoid.
Don
For one thing, why are you even downloading a Trojan Virus in the first place?
So if the .zip file contains a Trojan Virus, don't you think the .txt file will have special format and other crap in it?

ctrl+alt+ left/right does not jumps to next selected result anymore. I ignore from which version stopped to work (in 5.0.3 it did).
Use Ctrl+F3 and Ctrl+Shift+F3.
You can remap them to the shortcut keys as you want.
Don
Allen Zhu (jaloola), that must be it, a special case! You cracked it, hands down.

the update silently option doesn't get saved if I uncheck it in the install version. here's a link to the report.
