#1 Cannot add groups
With NPP 8.7 (and before) this plugin v1.2.7 doesn't work any more. I cannot add groups. Clicking the + button does nothing.
Thank you for your answer https://sourceforge.net/p/autocodepage/discussion/bugs+issues/thread/8d27deecdd/#b0d1/1493
I did that and clicking the button does nothing.
Thank you for opening a new ticket.
Would you please post the debug infos of your Notepad++ installation? You can find these at
(menu) ? -> Debug Info. Click on buttonCopy debug info into clipboardand paste it here in a new comment.This way I get some useful infos about your installations's environment. Without that I cannot help you because under Windows 10 neither with Notepad++ v8.6.9 nor with v8.7 I'm able to reproduce your issue.
I had an idea. I found a AutoCodepage.ini that was not removed when I uninstalled the plugin. I deleted it and it was created new. Before it did not have the ini file sections [...].
Now I can add groups and it works like a charm.
Thank you very much!
Is it normal that the config files of plugins don't get removed when one uninstalls a plugin?
Nice to hear that you were able to solve your issue. It gave me the impetus to have a look at my code and I have to admit that the current implementation is not the best idea. If there is no valid configuration file, it is not possbile to create a valid one. So, users go round in circles. I will think about a better solution in a future release.
To answer your question: config files don't get removed when uninstalling a plugin. With the old Plugin Manager (abandoned some years ago) it was possible for a plugin author to provide a list of files that should be removed during uninstallation. But with its replacement (the internal Plugins Admin) this is not possible anymore.
