This new release have the same search problem since 5.8 ! It's very embarrassing.
If I'm searching on an existing word in a file I select it, I hit ctrl+F. The good word appears on the "find" windows. To find the next word, I hit F3… but it don't works ! It search the prévious word I had searched.
For example, I select the word "abc" on a file, I hit ctrl+F, "abc appears on the windows, I clic on "find next", it works. If I now hit F3, it will find all "abc" words. Now, I select "def" word. I hit ctr+F, the "def" word appears on the "find windows", but if I hit F3, it will find the next "abc" words, until I clic on "find next".

When i'm searching un word in only one file, I use ctrl+F3. It's really embarrassing when I search a word from a file to another. It worked before 5.8, it seem to be logic that the search was made on the current word, not on the previous search, no ?

Is there any shortcut to move to next file having found result. (f4 first circulates in current file and then it goes to next file, i want the direct one)

Shortcut to go to the next file with found results: No, currently you have to click that next result from the Result window. Please post the request to IdeaTorrent.

About F3:
Find Next has never worked across files directly; it can cycle through a single file if and only if the Wrap around option is checked.
If you search a word in a file, then move to another, then
* F3 remembered the search and will find the same word in the new file.
* Ctrl+F3 will pick up the current word in the new file and start over again
What are everyone's feelings about this? imho both behaviours are useful, so they need distinct shortcuts to apply them.
The 7-zip binaries archive (and probably the installer and zip archive) includes all the config files! I'm sure this was just an accident since previous version didn't have these files, but it overwrote all my options and styler configurations.

I'm totaly agree with the differences between ctrl+F3 and F3 shortcuts. What I'm talking about is a fonctionality wich worked until the 5.7 version.Why since the 5.8 the F3 shortcut search on a past search, not on the current search ?
Look this screenshot :
I made a search on the "sentence" word, it appears on the windows and the popup respond :
can't find the text "abc"
!
Is that logic ? If yes, why this fonctionality change since 5.8 version ?

Sorry, I cannot view the picture atm because of web filtering at work. I'll have to wait till this evening. In the meantime, other users can voice their opinion.
Causes for the difference can be:
1/ search and replace recording in macros, which has entailed a review of the whole logic
2/ the newer Scintilla v2.21, another bug about F/R has been reported against it in the 5.8.1 thread.
I'll be back on this later. For now, let's see whether current or past behaviour is more desirable.

NP++ 5.82 hangs on 3.6 MB Text file (same with 5.80): I edit a text file of 3600 KB in size. I hit Ctrl-End to go to the bottom and a few Pg-Up to see the last few pages. And NP++ just hangs. The only possible action is to kill the task.

The file provides the extra context menu item that says "Edit with Notepad++" by default. Notepad++ works so much fine without the file that it is provided as a separate enhancement.

I have just made a clean portable install of Notepad++ V5.8.2 on a USB key and noticed that Setting>Preferences>Misc>"Enable Notepad++ auto-updater" is grayed-out when I run it on Windows 7 X64, but is available on XP and 2003 server.
I have also tried it on v5.6.8 with the same result.
Is it a known limitation?

That's because the updater is an inddepedent component, and iy is not on your USB key. You need to download it separately - it doesn't require installation; you need to specify correct proxy information if you want to use it, as it doesn't know how to get your connection settings. Copying an installed updater folder is fine.

Auto-updater feature requires UAC action on each launch time under Vista/Win7. That's why this feature is disable for these OS.
You can always launch it manually via menu "?->Update Notepad++".

Are you sure that your last version contains no viruses?
Why not simply use the newer Ctrl+F3 (Select and Find Next)? You don't even need to hit Ctrl+F then.
F3 means "Find next searched item". If you haven't searched for "def", why would F3 look for it?

What are everyone's feelings about this? imho both behaviours are useful, so they need distinct shortcuts to apply them.
If you wish F3 inside the find/replace dialog to act as the Find Next button, then it is an pending feature request to vote for at http://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/notepad-plus/ideatorrent/idea/211/
To sum up:
* F3 picks up on any previous search, same file or not
* Ctrl+F3 allows initiating a search without the need to open the search box.
What doesn't this cover? Also remember that smart highlighting will search the current word for you in the current document. Consider activating it.

@ donho Thanks for the release!
I send mail with updated translation.
URL highlighting (linkifying) is breaking after reloading document from disk, but only above the cursor position, as on this picture:

Hi, Vincenzo
What do you mean by "not working properly"?
CChris
What is NppShell_01.dll for anyway?
My notepad++ 5.8.2 seems working fine w/o this file.
The file provides the extra context menu item that says "Edit with Notepad++" by default. Notepad++ works so much fine without the file that it is provided as a separate enhancement.
