Hi, I use portable version of Notepad++. It has "Data" folder which has "Settings" subfolder and which has "plugins" subfolder.
I code in AutoHotkey scripting language, so I use a modified lexer to support AutoHotkey's syntax.
Here is the archive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3y3wdlkzr2mgpg/AHKExternalLexer-Current.zip?dl=1 with the plugin that should add support of external lexers. If I put this archive's contents to the "settings" folder (so "plugin" folders get merged) - the plugin doesn't get installed.
Why?
Does Notepad++ portable support profiles like Firefox portable does?
Should I put the archive's contents to the "App\Notepad++" folder instead of "data" or "data\settings"?

It entirely depends on the plugin. Notepad++'s plugin system is a bit of a mess compared to something like Firefox as, in a local install, some bits go into PROGRAMFILES and others into APPDATA. Some plugins are more tied than others. We had to specifically move settings around as plugins keep them similarly all over the place as well. You'll likely have to move the plugin to the correct location yourself. It may be lost on upgrades.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for the reply.
