I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program. Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug. Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort". Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug. Here is a link to a bug report about it (on an official Notepad++ web site):
There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document. So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. Here's how it can be done.I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix. If you are interested in removing the Notepad app, you can use the Settings app. It will receive independent updates like any other Store app.Īccording to the company, this change will allow them to quickly respond to issues and feedback for Notepad, and to deliver new features to app users much faster.ĭue to these changes, it is now possible to remove and uninstall Notepad from Windows 10. Notepad's release cycle is not tied to the Windows 10 update schedule anymore. Microsoft is going to update it independently from the core OS image by turning it into a standalone Store app. Starting with Windows 10 20H1, version 2004, the classic Notepad app has got a new home on the Microsoft Store. Change Text Zoom Level/Wrap around search.Now it can handle large text files without issues, comes with performance improvements, and includes the following new options: SHA-256 digests of binary packages for checking the integrity of your Notepad++ download.
GPG Notepad++ Public key: Use it for the verification of GPG Signature. However, starting with Windows 10 Build 17661, Notepad has received plenty of new features and improvements. Download Notepad++ source code of current version and/or check sha-256 digests for binary packages on GitHub. Notepad is one of the classic Windows apps that had seen updates rarely.
