Hi,

I've downloaded the DLL from the latest release and copied the file to "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins" and restarted Notepad++ Still nothing under the plugins menu though, how do I install this please?

TomasRiker commented 1 year ago

For me, it worked by creating a new folder (I named it NppTextFX) inside the plugins directory and placing the DLL in there.

Just tried your suggestion but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I also tried putting the 32-bit plugin DLL in that folder and notepad++ shows an error that it can't load a 32-bit plugin when it starts up. So swapped it for the 64-bit one, but notepad++ looks no different. No TextFX in the plugin list or any of the menus that I can find.

I'm using the 32-bit version, so maybe there's a difference ...

The 64-bit version of the plugin doesn't load for some reason.

I tried the 32-bit version and it works.

For 64bits version: Only rename the DLL NppTextFX64.dll to NppTextFX.dll Work here.

A Notepad++ plugin must always be located in a separate folder with the same name as the DLL, otherwise it will not be loaded.

Examples:

\Notepad++\plugins\NppTextFX64\NppTextFX64.dll (64 bit version) \Notepad++\plugins\NppTextFX\NppTextFX.dll (32 bit version) \Notepad++\plugins\myFunnyPlugin123\myFunnyPlugin123.dll

You can also rename the 64 bit plugin, then the folder name must be the same as for the 32 bit plugin.
