  • Notepad++ : Fixing global font size saving (and MORE)

    *REALLY* SAVE YOUR FONT SIZE

    I had an issue where my global font size was not saving in Notepad++(after going to Style Configurator).  It was pretty frustrating, and the fix is actually super-simple! 

    ·         All you have to do is right-click Notepad++, and Run as Administrator. 

    Once the program loads, go into settings, change the font-size, and save & close.  Afterwards, when you load notepad++ as you normally would, the settings will be just as you really wanted!

    ADDING A FILE EXTENSION TO BE HIGHLIGHTED AUTOMATICALLY

    Here’s another problem I fixed while correcting this issue.  A couple days back, I was trying to tell Notepad++ to always open Smarty Template Engine files (extension = .tpl) as an HTML file instead of as normal text file (for Syntax Highlighting purposes).  Notepad++ would never save my settings, and I’d have to change my 100+ tpl file settings every time re-loaded (not really, but you get the picture J).

    After running as administrator (described above), I then went back to Settings > style configurator > language > html > User ext [input box] > typing "tpl" (without quotes or a preceding period).  This process finally worked for adding a custom extension that should be associated with a Language Syntax Highlight file.

    OTHER FIXES AND METHODS

    ·         This will also likely fix other "global settings" that don’t save under style configurator (and perhaps even settings > preferences, although I can’t confirm at the moment. 

    ·         You can also sift through the XML in the notepad++ installation directory (under program files), and method I describe here is slightly easier, IMHO.


    I hope this helps you!  If so, leave a comment.  I appreciate them!

    This post was inspired by a post by “Willie” (on his blog).

  • Teddy Roosevelt was the man.

    It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat

    great quote.

  • Hickuping and having food stuff in your throat

    Hickuping and having food stuff in your esophogaus feels exactly like having a heart attack...although I've never had a heart attack.
