I'm currently running version 4.5.4. I did review the release notes for newer versions, but did not find any of the listed features below included:
- support 'Update Notepad++' through a proxy web connection. Ideally collecting the proxy settings from your browser automatically, rather than having to key it in.
- support a fixed default extension of .txt There was an update made in a past release that remembers the extension type from the last save done. However, when I restart notepad++ this default is lost and I need to choose the correct extension again. I use notepad++ for .txt files only, so being able to set this just once would save me a lot of time. I make numerous text files each day, and catch myself forgetting to add this extension every once in a while; which means my indexing software will not parse these files I've forgotten to save correctly
- there's a key sequence I perform that causes Notepad++ to side-by-side compare the last two documents I have open. I haven't found a way to turn this off, other than existing notepad++ and restarting it. I don't know the key sequence I'm using, since it's always fat-fingering a save action. Can the action to disable side-by-side comparison be made available in the menus?
- Notepad++ doesn't allow my to save files with a "dot" in the name. When it encounters any dots, it truncates all text in the filename after the dot. I quite often need several dots in a filename to represent software releases, etc.
Thanks!
