1. Pressing delete button won't remove file/dir from project (right click + remove works)
2. rename just renames file in project tab, but it has no effect on physical file on disc. And I see no option to make my change affect the file (other that renaming it directly in file browser)
3. Will there be an importer for Visual studio project files?
Thank you and best regards,
Loreia

When saving project file, extension is not provided. Perhaps .xml would suffice?

No drag and drop. It's will be nice if the file/folder can be drag/drop to different folders/projects easily.
Thanks for the work!

I just did a dig and found this plugin: Customize Toolbar v1.7
This meets my request very much, however, the available commands is not quite enough. Hope there'll be more available buttons to choose in future.
Thanks.

What's exactly the purpose of the Project Manager on Notepad++? Is it to have easy access to related files?.

As you can see, there're still the room to enhance Project Manager. The keystroke (ENTER, DELETE, F2, etc…) and drag N' drop are 2 features to implement in the future version. Whereas conversion of the other types of project file, why not? But it will go after.
Project Manager is just a group of files. The only interaction between Project Manager and Notepad++ is to open files from the project into Notepad++. Such behaviour reduces the complexity of coding and the interaction between Notepad++ and Project Manager.

This is quite nice, got intrigued when I saw it come up on the SVN repo.
Couple of features that would be very nice:
1) have the Find in Files dialog able to restrict to "Files within project" or workspace, which should speed up the file list generation that the find in files does before.
2) Allow importing from the filesystem structure with a wildcard filter (like the find in files dialog). Which will create the folders etc for you.
Cheers

On Windows XP full paths are not stored, only filenames. How does Notepad++ know the full path for project files?.
Also, a couple suggestions:
* Adding a keyboard shortcut to open the Project panel
* Adding Recent projects to the File menu

This feature request is quite complex because Find in files and Project Manager are 2 different components. I'll think of its possibility.
One more thing, for the official 5.9.4 release there's still going to be a minimalist version, right?.
Yes.

Good question.
When the Workspace file is saving, Project Manager check the Workspace file path. if Workspace file path IS prefix of file path in the project, the whole prefix will be removed and the relative file path is saved. Otherwise the absolute file path is written.
When the Workspace file is loading, Project Manager check if file paths are relative. The prefix of workspace file path will be added if file paths are relative. Otherwise the absolute file path will be loaded as it is.
For example, 2 files in the project :
After saving the workspace file "D:\source\notepad++\trunk\PowerEditor\src\workSpace.xml"
the 2 files will be saved as:
"WinControls\ProjectPanel\ProjectPanel.h"
"D:\source\notepad++\trunk\PowerEditor\license.txt"
This behaviour makes your saved workspace file portable:
Users can copy the whole project (files and workspace xml file) to another location by keeping the valid file paths.
Also, a couple suggestions:
* Adding a keyboard shortcut to open the Project panel
* Adding Recent projects to the File menu
I'll consider them.

I did the same procedure with 5.9.4 RC but cannot reproduce your problem under my Win7 x64.
Do you use the same binary or your build?
Or is there a special step to do to reproduce this bug?

Don,
I used the straight binary. I've done some more testing, and it only does it if the workspace is saved in the root of the same drive where the files are. Inside a directory seems to be ok.
I suspect the problem is line 372 of ProjectPanel.cpp - PathRemoveFileSpec - I'm not sure if when faced with a path like "E:\test.npp" it returns "E:\", which is obviously different from "E:\dir\test.npp" where it returns "E:\dir".
I hope that there's some APIs coming for the project layout, plugins could add some really neat functionality with projects. :)
Cheers,
Dave.

thanks for the project manager. a few suggestions:
- when I add a folder I want to be able to specify an existing folder from the file system and add not just the folder name but then all the files in that folder in the file system.
- for a project, it would be nice to be able to specify extensions for the project (.js, .html. .css) and then have the add file filter directory contents using the valid extensions for the project.
- didn't see a way to name/rename a workspace
thanks again.

Also: Don, could you consider adding multiple selection in the project panel so as to open several files at the same time? I haven't checked whether clicking on a folder would open all files in folder, nice to have.

Hi,
OS is Wİndows 8 Developer Preview and npp.5.9.4.RC\ansi with UTF-8 type text file.
I am encountering garbage code (unknown characters) when i select related text to search in document with CTRL+F.
It has seen when the text include Turkish charaters (ş,ğ,ı,ö,ç,ü,Ş,Ğ,İ,Ö,Ç,Ü)
FYI

The release candidate for 5.9.4 is working just fine on my Windows 7 netbook. I've already started to use the project panels on a regular basis. Actually, I only use one of them so far; it serves as a pop-up Favorite Files list, as I have no ongoing projects. A couple of suggestions:
1) Could the font used for the panel trees be made selectable, or if not, perhaps just a bit bigger? The font doesn't seem to support ClearType, nor can it be zoomed in. It's pretty small on my Windows 7 netbook, making it somewhat hard to read.
2) The project panel feature, like the character panel, does not appear in the shortcuts mapper, and it would be nice if one could assign a shortcut to it. In the meantime I've added a project panel to my context menu:

Hi Don! Сheck mail plz.
And thanks for release. ))
Interesting feature, I guess I could get used to it.

Hi,
This problem seems to be solved in "npp.5.9.4.RC\ansi" version.
But, The problem still continue in "npp.5.9.4.RC\unicode". I just tested it.

Thank you Dave.
I can reproduce it now and this bug will be fixed in 5.9.4 official release.
Regarding the API of Project Manager, I'm not imaginative (yet) to get some.
Please feel free to give me some thoughts of yours.
Don
Thanks for the clarification on how workspaces save file paths. It makes sense now.
I'm really liking the Project Manager even if there's some missing functionality to make it even better and more user friendly.
thanks for the project manager. a few suggestions:
- when I add a folder I want to be able to specify an existing folder from the file system and add not just the folder name but then all the files in that folder in the file system.
- for a project, it would be nice to be able to specify extensions for the project (.js, .html. .css) and then have the add file filter directory contents using the valid extensions for the project.
- didn't see a way to name/rename a workspace

(This is in a subfolder of my context menu, in which I keep various other file commands.)
