This great plugin is awesome.

An active problem is that it can't be disabled on demand, so when using parent app (Notepad++) to edit any other filetype (source code, in, etc) any other synthax highlight is override.

@SullyPanda76cl, please provide the version of the plugin you are using.

I had noticed this issue myself and fixed it in the 2.1.1.1 version. I have mentioned this in the 2.1.1.1 Release notes - item 1. However, I recommend that you install the latest 2.1.2.1 version and try it out. Thank you.

Thanks for answering. That's another issue (i write it in the "discussion" section here) N++ is, for some reason, downloading version 1.4... Perhaps there's some repository that's missing to update?

@SullyPanda76cl , I have already responded to your observation on the version lag of the plugin. Again, what version of the plugin gets included in N++ depends on the PR merges at nppPluginList and the release cycle of N++. Both these are beyond my control.

You could manually upgrade the FWDataViz plugin to the latest version just by copying over the latest FWDataViz.dll into your N++ plugins folder.

DLL-only manual upgrade of a previously installed version of the plugin

Go to the 2.1.2.1 Release page. Download the zip file version to match your Notepad++ bitness. Then, either:

  1. In Notepad++, navigate to menu: Settings » Import » Import Plugins... and import the dll file extracted from the zip file.
  2. OR, Extract the FWDataviz.dll file into the <NPP_Plugins_folder>/FWDataviz folder to overwrite the existing DLL therein.
