Hello, I would like to take up this issue, if no one else has already taken it up. Thanks!
As far as I know nobody else is working on it.
My best guess is this function https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext/blob/4fc361ab8433b706877a3ce9e941ef47b5022261/src/NotepadNext/ScintillaNext.cpp#L324-L353 would need modified to save the current selection (maybe also the view location) and then after the file is restored set the position and view.
Cool, I'll give it a go this week. Okay, so I'll get the current position and the view, and store them temporarily and once the file has been restored I'll set the position and the view. Thank you!
