Didn't notice that new installer will bypass %appdata% folder and store data inside it's own folder - so the portability option might be there already (sorry)Īlso. I don't pretend to you all, or even most of its features (of which there are many) But it is a very good applicationĮdit: OK maybe I should look a little more carefully before shouting my mouth off.

Though once started is blazingly fast.Īnd making it auto update would be a GODSEND! I have very few plugins installed (3-4 at most) and notice that with each release it gets that bit more sluggish to start. So as much as I like NP++, it has aged itself out of my current tool set.Superb, I use it every day at work, The best of it's type I've come across.ġ - As you can get a fully portable version, why not just make the whole application portable by default, there's no real need not to?Ģ - Startup time is getting slower and slower with each release. But in my opinion the choice now is to simply use VSCode, which has similar properties to NP++ but with a much richer and actively maintained plugin / extension system. ** EDIT (March 2019): The first comment on this question helped a bit IIRC but fresh installs seem to behave much better, which makes me think that I had managed over time to confuse the app. So does anyone know how to make it stop treating unsaved data so poorly? It is the one feature that makes me want to just use vscode for everything, despite its lack of the ability to act as a persistent cache for random unsaved data. I've been searching for a solution off and on for days, and it is driving me nuts. when I create my unsaved tabs (new39, new40, etc.) they get an obnoxious background color that is unpleasant to look at and partially obscures text based on the lighter foreground font I am using. I also like the style configurator, and particularly the solarized-light theme, which is easy on the eyes.īUT. I have used it this way for a long time as I do a lot of experimental stuff when working with Hyperledger blockchain code and data. Notepad++ has a uniquely useful feature - you can open a new tab and paste some text in and it will remember that text forever without saving it to any formal location.
