Is this normal? The vast majority of the red flags are Notepad++

Hi,

I have a problem with opening (double-click) text files (.INI, .TXT, .LOG etc) in Windows 11 from network shares (on my NAS) in Adminitrative mode (Notepad++). (see attachment)

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 11 Pro. I created several network shares and I can access them from e.g. Total Commander.
I installed Notepad++ and made it startup as Administrator by default… no problem you would think.
But now I found out, that I am NOT able to open text files in Administrative mode (Notepad++) from the network shares.
When I startup Notpad++ in “normal” mode, opening (double-click) text file is not a problem. This is on my new laptop with Windows 11.

On my “old” (still current) laptop I have Windows 10 Pro and opening (double-click) text files from the network shares in Administrative mode (Notepad++) is NOT a problem!
All the Windows settings (e.g. SMB) are all the same on both laptops, as are the settings of Notepad++ on both laptops.
The only thing I can detect is, that Windows 10 Pro is running WITHOUT Bitlocker activated and Windows 11 Pro is running with Bitlockker activated by default…

So, as I would like to have Notepad++ run in Adminitrative mode by default, is there anyone who can help me with this conundrum?
Am I overlooking something(s) or am I not doing it right?

Help is much appreciated and thank you in advance!

When I fold a code level, I don’t want to also include the final, closing })] delimiter in the hidden part of the fold. How do I modify an existing language or UDL to include this brace folding behavior from python?

If I select python as the language, and fold a layer using {} braces, the beginning line and the final line will be shown, which allows you to use the margin select to grab the entire block cleanly. Whereas most languages will include the closing line in the hidden part of the fold, and you need to rely on a newline after a block to properly select the entire block while it’s folded.

In this image, the top is CSS syntax, the bottom is python and in the python image, you see the code block’s closing brace is visible, but the CSS text, does not; the next visible line is the closing brace for the fold level above this block. I highlighted level 1 with green and 2 with red.

I also made this quick demonstration of how the folds are different.

Hi,

So when you have a file that has been externally modified, when you focus it’s tab you will get a warning like this.

And when it appears, if you click that focused the tab was into that window, then this started a text drag selection but the “mouse up” event that stops the drag selection has been caught in the dialog window.

Result, now even with no button being pressed, the text selection follows your cursor until you click again.

Here is a video screenshot of this process

Hi,
I am thinking of using Claude Code in combinaison with N++ (my favourite Editor).
As Claude Code is simply running in a shell / powershell window, I was wondering if that Terminal window could be opened in a Notepad++ tab (usefully sent to the other view).
I searched a plugin capable of doing that (this is broader than just Claude Code), but did not found any.
Should I send a request for plugin ?
Is there any chance that a plugin can do that or would it need an enhancement of the core ?

Best regards to everyone.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been a long-time Notepad++ user, and recently found myself frequently working both indoors and outdoors on a laptop. Constantly switching between light and dark mode through Preferences became a bit tedious, so I initially wrote some Python scripts to automate it — but eventually decided to build a proper solution.

I’ve created a C++ plugin that adds three toolbar buttons:

☀️ Light Mode — instantly switch to light mode
🌙 Dark Mode — instantly switch to dark mode
🔄 Auto Mode — automatically switches based on sunrise/sunset times calculated from your selected location
The auto mode uses a built-in list of 50+ cities worldwide (or custom coordinates) to determine when to flip between themes — no external dependencies or internet connection required.

More details, screenshots, and the installer can be found on the GitHub page: 👉 https://github.com/pullitall/Notepadpp-light-dark-switch-and-automatic-switch-based-on-location

If you run into any bugs, feel free to post here or open an issue on GitHub. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

We reviewed a local Notepad++ 8.9.3 installation and found that updater\libcurl.dll is present, with Windows file metadata reporting version 8.15.0. This version is flagged by our vulnerability scanner in relation to CVE-2025-14819 / CVE-2025-14017 (libcurl versions before 8.18.0).

However, our local static analysis of updater\GUP.exe (version 5.41) did not show a normal import or delay-load import of libcurl.dll. In addition, GUP.exe contains strings referencing libcurl 8.19.0 (for example CLIENT libcurl 8.19.0), which suggests that the updater may be using a statically linked or otherwise embedded libcurl, rather than the separate updater\libcurl.dll.

Could you please confirm whether the bundled updater\libcurl.dll is actually used at runtime by Notepad++ / WinGUp? If it is not used, it may be worth removing or updating that DLL to avoid false positive vulnerability findings in security scans.

This assessment is based on local static analysis only; we have not yet verified the runtime module loading behavior.

Thanks.

Hi all.

All of a sudden, I can’t save files that are in OneDrive folders. I get the "Failed to save file. It seems there is not enough space on the disk to save the file. " error although I am only using 7% of my space on OneDrive and I have 150GB free space on my hard drive…

This is a new issue that started today. I have scanned for errors but none reported. I have made sure to “run as admin” and have rebooted.

Anything I have missed?

As title.

is there any function or existing plugin to view/extract only those line which match the tezt search?
