    First of all I want to say I love Notepad++

    Here are some bugs and annoyances I've found:

    "Find in files" filters and directories are lost between searches. This is very annoying when doing many consecutive searches.
    Syntax highlighting stops working for new text after "Mark line" is used in Find
    Run menu commands shouldn't require key combinations
    Should be able to remove Run menu items from the Run menu
    Horizontal scroll bar shouldn't be displayed when it's not needed
    What does the history file setting do?
    "Groop" should be spelled "Group"
    Can't cancel adding a new group in favorites plugin, it just reopens the dialog until a group is added

    Explorer plugin:
        Should (optionally?) display whole filenames with extension since Ext column header is usually hidden (I didn't even notice it and I've been using the new version for weeks) and .htaccess (or any other filename beginning with a .) Name column is blank. It's also confusing to see for example files named a.bak1 a.bak2 a.bak3 all displayed as a
        Should be able to edit current path by typing
        I like the explorer plugin included with npp3.8 better with files listed under their directories. Maybe make it optional?
        Not sure what back and forward buttons are doing. It seems like it's jumping to random directories.

      Hello,

      at first, please download the new Beta 1 version of Explorer, Function List and Hex Editor here:
      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189927

      You can self define your personal preferences. See in "Plugins->Explorer->Explorer Options...". Here it is possible to add the extension to the file name. BTW: I like the separate extension.

      I didn't get you! Do you want to rename the path? Or do you want to go to the a specific path by a "address" field?

      No! Use the old plugin if you like it.

      They do what they do: It's a stack and they remember the last selected folders. Regarding this feature I didn't get a bug report until now. I use it every day and for me it works perfectly. There is no random. If so, use the latest Beta 1 version.

      For any comments and suggestions use this forum in future:

      Best Regards
      Jens

        Sorry. Yes, I meant something like an address field.

        I will try the betas.
