Hi there

Unfortunately, the plugin does not work with the newest version anymore. 8.3.3 was working, 8.4 not anymore.

A change needs to be done for this plugin to work again:

In Notepad++ v8.4, Scintilla is upgrade from v4.x to v5.x and Lexilla module has been added in the project. With such major update, the old External Lexer Plugins need to migrate to Scintilla5 and add new CreateLexer export function, which return a pointer of ILexer5 instance, in your external lexer plugin to make it work under v8.4.

Thanks for letting me know, I was aware of the issue but didn't have the time to work on an update until now. It's fixed and the plugin list was updated so it will be available in the next Notepad++ update. Notepad++ is updated irregularly, could be a couple of days, could be in a week or more depending on bugfixes etc.

But you can also download the new CSVLint version 0.4.5.1 here and install it manually. Unzip and replace the CSVLint.dll in your .\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\CSVLint\ folder.
