Its not about an issue... more an request that textFx Edit will be implemented again. I really need it to format some textfile in kind of a table way... you know.. makingg

aaaa|bbb|cccccc|ddddddddddd|ee
1111111|22222222|3|444|5555555

to

aaaa    | bbb      | cccccc | ddddddddddd | ee
1111111 | 22222222 | 3      | 444         | 5555555

and those files got about 400 lines and about 3 columns... I really would love to see this feature again since i cant find anything similar.

Thank you :)

The function "The Line up multiple lines" is available with the x86 plugin version and can be used with the 32 bit version of NotePad++ without errors.

You can use NotePad++ in parallel with the 64 and 32 bit portable version in a separate directory.

I have no plans to upgrade the 64 bit version in the near future, so this is my recommended approach.

Ok, thank you for you fast reply and I will have a look at the portable version and will try your approach. I will return to tell if this worked :D

Dwza commented 1 year ago

So, I just tried it and it worked.

For all who may struggle with the same problem.... When downloading the portable version, it usual comes with the 32 & 64 bit version. To launch the 32 bit version, go to:

[YourInstallDirectory]\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++\

and start the notepad++.exe

If you want to use the laucher, than it usual starts the version according to your os. In my case its a 64 bit system. But to start the 32 bit version, I had to edit the Laucher-INI-File

[YourInstallDirectory]\Notepad++Portable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\Notepad++Portable.ini

And in the [Launch] section you can find

ProgramExecutable=Notepad++\notepad++.exe
ProgramExecutable64=Notepad++64\notepad++.exe

change the ProgramExecutable64 to:

ProgramExecutable64=Notepad++\notepad++.exe

and it will always start the 32 bit version.

Thanks :)
