Version 2.4.0.2

Background: With its v8.3 release, the Notepad++ x64 binary will support opening 2GB+ files. However, this change causes compability issue with many x64 plugins, and they will need to be recompiled with a modified C++ header file.

The FWDataViz x64 plugin was affected by this incompatibility issue specifically when trying to extract data in the Data Extraction dialog. With the suggested recompile of the FWDataViz plugin with the modified C++ header file, the v2.4.0.2 release fixes this issue.

ALERT! This plugin release is compatible with Notepad++ 8.3.1 or later releases.

Manual upgrade of a previously installed version of the plugin

Download the zip file version to match your Notepad++ bitness. Then, either:

  1. Update FWDataviz.dll in one of two ways:
  • In Notepad++, navigate to menu: Settings » Import » Import Plugins... and import the dll file extracted from the zip file.
    OR
  • Extract the FWDataviz.dll file into the <NPP_Plugins_folder>/FWDataviz folder to overwrite the existing DLL therein.

If you are upgrading from an FWDataViz plugin version older than 2.4.0.1, you will also need to:

  1. Extract the NPP_Plugin_Darkmode.dll file into the <NPP_folder> or <NPP_Plugins_folder>/FWDataviz folder.

In addition, to see all sample files properly:
3. Copy the default_Visualizer.ini file into the <NPP_Plugins_folder>/FWDataviz folder to overwrite the existing file therein.
4. Copy the Samples/IPAC_Unicode.txt file into the <NPP_Plugins_folder>/FWDataviz/Samples folder to overwrite the existing file therein.
