Hi
This isn't a serious issue, but it is a real pain.
I go into the Style Configurator, and start changing the color schemes.
I can change the first color just fine, but when I go to change additional colors, I have to click APPLY before it will allow me to click on any other "element" to change another color.
For instance,
Click Global Styles, Default style
Click the Backcolor, select one
Click the forecolor, select one
Then click Indent Guideline style
It switches just fine,
so pick a back and fore color as before
now try and pick Brace highlight style,
It won't select, I can't select any other element till I click APPLY.
Is this intentional?
Thanks for a fantastic editor!

Can you make the bold text, bolder? I've noticed it doesnt really check to see if there is a bold version of the font, it just tries to add more wieght to it, but its not enough. I think it should really use the bold version of the font first and then if there isnt one add more weight.

Hi I am very happy that you try to add a edit column mode edition this would be a verry interesting feature, but I am sad that it has not the same behavior than in crimson or ultra it. But I thank you a lot.
Nevertheless it seems that there are bugs.
If you select several lines and click on alt+c and you select add text, the text text is not inserted at the beginning of selecting lines, but at the beginning of all lines after the last selected lines.
If I made no selection text is inserted up to file end at the cursor position.
More over if I made a rectangular selection of a width of 0 character and try to add some text in column mode which exactly what I need for a column mode (I am a digital designer), it make notepad++ crashing.
I think that theses bugs have to be corrected for the release version, because it make edit column mode unusable nevertheless I would like to thanks you for your efforts and for your job on this very very good text editor which is notepad++

It's expected behaviour.

That's what you should do - make a rectangular selection of a width of 0 character.
This mode will be activated and the crash issue will be fixed on the official release.

Confirmed here on xpsp2.
In case nothing is selected, alt+c inserts 'new text' at the end of every line down from the cursor's postion to EOF.
Not sure whether this is intended behaviour ...

Can you explain why you have chosen this behavior. What is the interest? I could understand that it insert text at the beginning of all lines up to end of file if nothing is selected but not if lines are selected.
I would like to have behavior that I have described to have a simple way to replace behavior of comment/uncomment function to be able to easily add comment on a code section even if it contains already some comments.

Can put the backups to corresponding directories?
i.e.:
When user specific directory is set to C:\backup, C:\test\test.php will be backup to C:\backup\C\test\

"4. Add new feature which backups files in a user specific directory. "
This is great - I've been waiting for this. Two minor drawbacks, though:
- it would be nice if I could simply specify an environment variable like %temp% for the backup-directory
- if the directory does not exist, N++ should at least pop up a warning, better yet create the directory, even better give the usr the choice to do so - but not simply ignore this and leave the user without a backup file.

It's a vista issue (Are you using Notepad++ under Vista?).
I have no idea why and how. I'll try to fix it in v4.3.
Don
Wonderful! Thank you, Don.

thank you for you great work.

Something else odd about the beta
Under Vista, I go to drag the Function list to the other side of the screen, and the drag and repaint is REALLY slow.
Probably something to do with Vista AeroGlass, but I just thought you should be aware.
Under previous builds, though, dragging the function list around under windows just crashed the editor, so this is definitely better!

I notice that on my new vaio laptop, and I couldn't find a way to improve that.
If somebody in here has any solution, please let me know.

NppExec v0.2 beta 3 is old. Beta 4 is the newest. Can you please include the beta4 in 4.2 final?
Thanks ;-)
Is it stable this version?

I found a bug in find in files behavior. Indeed with ctrl+shift+f now filter is filled with the file type of current file, but directory is not filled with the current file file path. Moreover if you right click on a directory in explorer plugin and make find in file the directory is empty. It could be very interesting that this behavior is corrected because in was a fantastic thing in notepad++.
Thanks
