I also prefer this method as it provides convenience and ease. If you choose this method once you click the download button it should directly download the application. First you could click the download button below, to download the latest version of the application. Now, there are two different ways to download the Notepad++ application.

In this series of tutorials, I will be helping beginners learn how to download Notepad++ and in the future it's different features. It's no wonder why Notepad++ has been considered one of the best text editors up to date. One of the text editors that really stood out is Notepad++, this lightweight opensource text editor has surprised a lot of users for it's capabilities from changing the colors of it's work space all the way to recognizing different programming languages. I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program.I've spent a good amount of time using different kinds of text editors, be it for development, taking down notes or even just somewhere to write down ideas.

Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug. Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort". Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug.

There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document.

So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix.
