13 Nov 2018 02:25:00
By the request of community, a built-in Plugins Admin is available in Notepad++ v.7.6. Plugins Admin shows the list of available plugins, allows users to install new plugins and to update/remove installed plugins.
There are some changes, however, may create the impact for users who have non-default plugins installed after updating.
The change is about new organization of folder structure for plugins and simplification of plugins location. As result, some plugins won’t be loaded by Notepad++ after your update.
FOR PLUGIN USERS:
to remedy this problem, after the update, you can :
Find the name of plugin you want to migrate in %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin.dll (or %PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin.dll, according the achetecture of your Notepad++).
go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\ to create myAwesomePlugin folder.
move the plungin myAwesomePlugin.dll from %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\ to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\.
That’s it. Restart Notepad++ and you get your beloved plugins back.
FOR PLUGIN AUTHORS:
any plugin is welcome to join to the list, which is also an open source project hosted in the GitHub:
