John, today's Notepad release is missing from the Home page "What's New" section. Thought you should know. Thank you for the fast update turnaround.

for the update. I know I'm curious, but why didn't you include the new Platforms language-setting?

It has been shocking for some time but it isnt any more so I think I'll change it. Smile

Notepad++ is English only by default and doesn't include a way to switch between languages within the program... you have to manually download and rename files. I have a system for doing this but didn't want to delay the release for it.

for the answer. So the new thing is only working for multilingual Apps where all the lang files are included.

Hey all!

I noticed that since the last autoupdate, all my plugins messed up... and looking into the folder tree, I saw like 3 different plugin folders each with a Config folder in it, and many plugin dll/ini scattered around those folders (many times duplicated or triplicated)
Any advise on how to clean this up a bit?

Thanks!

1. Support requests go in the forums, not as comments on a news story. Please follow up there.
2. The auto-updater is not included in Notepad++ Portable for a reason... it only works with local installs.
