Getting the Most Out of Notepad++

[Hector Trelane]

Here are some things that I have found out about Notepad++ (NPP) that I will be using to make it a better FG2 editor.

...

2. Install the SquigglySpellCheck.dll from https://squiggly.sourceforge.net/ . Then turn on Auto Spell Check in the SquigglySpellChecker menu.

Try as I might, I can't get this to work (despite following all other instructions). I have NPP v6.9.2 installed and I'm running Windows 10. I get an error saying "This plugin is not compatible with current version of Notepad++." Here's a screen shot of the error along with my listing of Aspell in the path:

Is there a work-around, or is it simply that the squiggly plug-in is too old?

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever get it resolved?

No, unfortunately this one is still unresolved.

Currently there's no plugin manager for the 64bit version of Notepad++. Until there is no plugins seem to work.

Aha. Should we install a 32bit version? Presumably N++ is a resource light program so there should be no difference in performance?

[Zacchaeus]

I don't know if that's available or not. All I know is that when I had to reinstall notepad++ on a new computer there's no plugin manager available so I am unable to use the xml and spellcheckers that I used to be able to use.

Or install the 64-bit version and the first time it detects an update package, it will install the 32-bit version anyway! At least that's what mine keeps doing... LOL

There's a 32-bit version of Notepad++. If you want to run the plugins uninstall the 64-bit version and install the 32-bit version. I use the 32-bit version for all of my FG development.

Bless you. Good to know.
