[Notepad-plus-plus] [notepad-plus - Help] Loading session as default action?

Is there any way you can assign the default action of a saved Notepad++ session
to open as a session (and therefore automatically open all the associated files)
and not open the file itself for editing?

Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I tried that before (and again just now)
and when I double-click on the saved session (with the .npp++ file extension),
it opens the file for editing and does not open any of the associated files.

However, if you use the "Edit with Notepad++" context menu entry, it does work.
If you need to get the same behaviour with a plain double click, you must associate
your extension with Notepad++ in Explorer or whatever association manager you
have.

That's just it; I do not wish to open the Notepad++ session file for editing.

As it is now I launch Notepad++ and go to File > Load Session... and then select
a previously saved Notepad++ session. I am looking for a way to have this function
performed automatically when double-clicking on a saved Notepad++ session file.

1/ define an extension for default files in Settings -> Preferences -> MISC
. Let's assume you use "nps++"

Now open a .nps++ file with Notepad++, and it will do just that. Next you can
associate .nps++ files with Notepad++, and then simply licking on the file will
load Notepad++ with the files in the session.

Right clicking on a session file _with the special extension_ and choosing "Edit
with Notepad++" does not edit the session file, it loads the corresponding session.
Doesn't work for you?

No sir it does not; it opens the session file for editing and does not open
any of the associated files.

That's weird. :\

I've done even better: double clicking on the file with .sps++ extension brought
up the "Unknown file type" system dialog. I selected "Choose rogram", then selected
Notepad++ as it was on the list, then checked "Always use for this file type".
Now, double clicking such a session file loads the files it refers to in
Notepad++.
This approach _won't_ work with session.xml, because .xml files are already
bound to some editor.

Just a thought. Can you check the file associations in Explorer (or whatever
your file manager is)? If there is something associated to "All unknown files",
presumably notepad.exe, I'd remove the association.

I tried what you just mentioned and got the "Unknown file type" window and chose
Notepad++ but again Notepad++ just opened the session file for editing and did
not load any of the associated files.

I could not find any listing for "All unknown files". All text-type files are
associated to Notepad++ and nothing is associated to notepad.exe if that makes
any difference.
