Run the executable binary and follow the installation flow.Most users use the installer as it’s the easiest route, however Notepad++ is also available in 7z and zip formats. You may visit the Notepad++ website at Download Notepad++ĭownload the latest version of Notepad++ from Ĭhoose 32 or 64 bit Notepad++ build according to your operating system, then choose the package you want to download. Notepad++ is available under GPL and distributed as free software. It allows working with multiple open files in a single window, thanks to its tabbed editing interface. It supports around 80 programming languages with syntax highlighting and code folding. I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program.Notepad++ is a text editor and source code editor for use under Microsoft Windows. Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug.
Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort".
Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug. Here is a link to a bug report about it (on an official Notepad++ web site):
There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document. So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix.
