Changes

  1. icomment:
    <p>Notepad++ has changed the way it loads plugins, since version 7.6.<br>
    It changed a bit between 7.6.0 and 7.6.3, but seems to have settled on this:<br>
    <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16645/new-plugins-home-where-notepad-will-load-from">New Plugins Home (Round 2)</a></p>
    
    <p>Basically, the plugin should now be installed in <code>$(NPP_INST_DIR)\plugins\&lt;dll_name&gt;\&lt;dll_name&gt;.dll</code>.<br>
    As for the <code>filter.ini</code> file, just use the menu item "Preview HTML / Edit filter definitions" to open it, and then check its full path.</p>
    
    <p>Where:
    <ul>
    <li><code>$(NPP_INST_DIR)</code> is where you're running <code>notepad++.exe</code> from;</li>
    <li><code>&lt;dll_name&gt;</code> is the name of the plugin’s DLL (<code>npp_preview</code> in this case).</li>
    </ul></p>
    
    <p>I still haven’t tested this though (still on an older version of Np++ for other reasons), so please let me know if you got it to work.</p>
