Notepad++ 7.8.2 installed on usb stick fmt exfat on win7 when installing new plugin after restart it removes plugin admin.
if i install 7.8.1 and install plugin then update plugin admin stays. actually 7.8.1 after plugin install removes plugin admin option. but if you update after the plugin admin is back. i dont know because of slowness of usb drive. usb drive formatted as exfat.
i tested on local hard drive pa install and it did the same thing. dont know why plugin admin disappears after new plugin install.
Is the bug refferenced in https://portableapps.com/node/60496 fixed in the new v72b3 release?
To replicate:

2. start the application
3. Settings -> Style Configurator
4. Style -> pick a new style
5. Save & Close
6. On the Windows taskbar, right click Notepad++ -> Pin to taskbar
7. Close Notepad++
8. Click Notepad++ in taskbar to open/start it
9. style selection has changed back to default
I cannot get the spellchecker working because it is not possible to run geany-plugins-1.36_setup.exe from https://plugins.geany.org/downloads.html on the portable version.
And this instruction https://portableapps.com/node/21685 stopped working since Geany 1.36.
Is there any solution?
Otherwise Geany should come with plugins installed to get the spellchecker.
Installation of the Notepad+++ update 7.8.1 but after installation still 7.8.

Hi,
I have installed Notepad++ 7.8.1 Portable:
- Notepad++Portable.exe (launcher) is updated
- folder 'C:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++' contains old binaries of rel. 7.8.
Please fix it.
Thanks.
I'm currently portablizing an app that store a large amount of data on many different locations (I won't tell you the app since it's private) so it may take a while for PortableApps.com launcher to clean it or restore it later (may take up to 15 seconds or more). This is annoying because I must manually check if the PA Launcher is still running in the background each time I want to shutdown the PC or run other program that may corrupt the cleaning process.
Hello there,
Lately, whenever I update Notepad++ (using the PortableApps platform) my theme and settings are reset to defaults.
Can you take a look at it?
Thanks!
I have a portable app all wrapped up and ready to go, files are here:
https://github.com/Ben136KBC/CodeXCavator2/tree/master/PortableAppsFiles
(I am the developer)
I would like to have it go through the official testing and be added as something available via the Apps, Get More Apps... menu option.
How can I make that happen please?
