Not working :-( #18

Hey, I love the logo! ❤️ It's very pretty, and it suggest that this plugin does exactly what I need...

... i.e. enabling tab stops (not tabs) to be moved around, making the all the tabs longer of shorter, without replacing them with spaces. Just like in a Word-like editor (which I'm definitely not going to use for reading TSV files).

Automatically or manually, any of these 2 options would work for me. I just need to read TSV files. (No I'm not going to use a spreadsheet app either). The post at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/13795/aligning-columns promises exactly that, automatically.

ElasticTabstops functionality

However, ElasticTabstops do not seem to do ANYTHING for me, and I also haven't found any documentation ANYWHERE 😭

ElasticTabstops not working

Notepad++ v7.8.4. 32-bit

Please help!

What version of ElasticTabstops are you using?

Also, in the first example can you run View > Show Symbols > Show Whitespace and Tab to ensure those are actually tab characters separating the columns?

In the 2nd example, since the two tab characters have a blank line between them then it will not have any affect.

Thanks for your quick response @dail8859, highly appreciated!

I use the version from Plugins Admin, i.e. the latest 1.3.1

The first screenshot was from https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/13795/aligning-columns

In my case, removing the empty line does not help :'(

ElasticTabstops still not working

There was an issue where the plugin would not work until Notepad++ was restarted (see #21).

Are you still having the issue?
