PS: My morning SUMo run just completed and I see that Networx has been updated three times in three days. Speaking of which, Networx was updated for the second time in, like, two days yesterday evening, and because I was running tasks I didn’t want to interrupt, I put off the reboot until … now, I guess. As for Networx, I like it well enough, and its installer “remembers” custom shortcut locations, but it requires a reboot every time.

I groan whenever I see an iTunes or iCloud update on a computer that I administer, because I know it’s going to take forever to run and that a reboot may be necessary. If you want annoying, try anything from Apple, or SoftPerfect’s Networx bandwidth monitor. I much prefer installers that allow you to choose where you put shortcuts and that remember your custom location on subsequent runs. I organize my Start Menu program shortcuts by category, so after updating I have to manually clean up my Start Menu. The annoyance for me is that the updater/installer doesn’t allow the user to choose where program shortcuts are placed. Updating it doesn’t take very long and reboots aren’t required. I appreciate active developers who keep on top of bugs, security problems, and useful features, and I never found updating Notepad++ to be all that onerous. Updates to Notepad++ used to be moderately frequent - maybe once or twice a month - but haven’t been coming nearly as often in the past several months (maybe because the developer has been busy developing this new version in both x86 and 圆4). I run SUMo once in the morning and once in the evening, so I have a pretty good handle on how often each of my programs gets updated. Now You: Which plain text editor is your favorite, and why? Plugins will become compatible, at least popular ones will, and a 64-bit version should improve stability and security of the program. The release of a 64-bit version is a good thing however.

It is likely that some are not, and one way to test whether this is the case is to download the portable version of Notepad++ 7.0 and copy all plugins that you use to the program's plugin folder to find out if that is the case. There is no telling before you update whether all plugins that you use are compatible with the 64-bit version if you plan to switch to it.

You can check out the full change log on this page on the official Notepad++ website. One fix resolves HDPI issues for some components, and another fixes auto-completion on XML comments. The new version of Notepad++ ships with a handful of fixes that resolve crash issues mostly. Other features that are new include support for Ruby in the functions list, an option to run Internet searches on selected words in text content, and new change case variants (title case, sentence case, invert case and random case). There is also a new option under Editing in the preference that enables scrolling past the last line of a document (enable scrolling beyond last line).
