Does not seem to do anything at all #4

I have notepad++ 8.4.8 on Win11-64 pro. Upon dropping NppGZipFileViewerX64.dll into my plugins directory and re-launching Notepadd++ it does absolutely nothing. It presents no settings nor any user interface. Opening a somefile.gz in Notepad++ fails to decompress the file, displaying the binary.

Hi, did you put the dll in an extra directory?

Hi Pascal and thanks kindly for your response. Yes I put it into a sub-folder and it does seem to quietly load but then not a peep. I tried the X86 version which does cause Notepad++ to complain, so I really don't know what to think. I think your program would be incredibly useful to anyone who works with Linux man-pages "somefile.gz" on Windows, and so it would be superb to see it in the "official Notepad++ plug-ins repository" if you might feel inclined to do that. I'm just learning C++ so it's beyond my ability to troubleshoot the C# code and it's interaction with Notepad++ at this point.

Do the dll and the directory have the same name (without the suffix ".dll")? Npp use the directory name to determine the dll that should be loaded as a plugin, other dlls are ignored.

Yikes! You nailed it Pascal ...instant success, thank you =) Now I can just WinSCP into my Debian and double-click any .gz to open it directly in Notepad++ Super convenient.
