    When adding a script to the toolbar then hovering over the toolbar button, why isn't the script name shown? Instead it just says "Python Script" followed by a number. I find this very un-user-frirendly.

      Yea, it's a known issue. You can get better results if you use the CustomizeToolbar plugin and set up the button that way.

        Yes I did initially use CT, but I ran into a problem. Whenever I use the CT button, the next time I start Npp, the button has moved to the end of the toolbar. I've checked on a clean install of Npp with only CT and PS installed and it still does it. So I decided to check out the PS method. However, I think I'd rather have a button I know the name of than worry about its placement on the toolbar so I'll stick with the CT one. Do you know if there's likely to be a fix for the name issue with PS buttons?

          No idea. You can always open an issue about it here: https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues
          I use CT without problem, but I always put my script icons to the right end of the toolbar anyway (it is where I want them so I've never tried anything else).

    I found this discussion because I'm having the same issues. Either (1) the button looks like I want it to and has the right label but is always at the end, or (2) the button looks like I want it to and resides where I want it to but says "Python Script 1" when I hover over it. Maybe the onhover label could be the script name?
