Not reindenting complete file

[basd82]

Is it correct that Redentbyfiold, only redent's what is in view ? If so can there be an option to redent complete file ? If not why is my PHP file not redentend completely

+1 Issue still here in 2020

Just tried to reproduce this, but failed:

This is what I did:

• Created a copy of IBFPlugin.cpp
• Opened with N++
• Copied the content of the file and pasted three times. This results in a file of over 1000 lines.
• Pressed Ctrl+A and Shift+Tab a couple of time. All the indents on all the lines are gone.
• Saved the file.
• Closed N++ completely.
• Opened that file with N++ and started the Reindent File immediately after opening the file.
• The entire file is reindented.

What did I miss?

@ffes Hi again. I was going to record the screen to prove my point when I detected that I had done 2 pages this time. on closer examination and a few tests, I found that we both had right..

if I press the reindent function, and let notepad++ be alone for a few seconds, it works perfectly, but the others must have done what I did the first time. we scrolled down.

Apparently when you're scrolling down, you interrupt the plugin, and therefore was not the whole code converted. May I suggest a "progress" bar, or something that stops the user from scrolling while the plug-in is doing what it's supposed to do?

Edit; got dropped to EDGE, causing my comment to be published twice. just wanted to say that now when I waited, and it worked, your plugin solved an issue I have been trying to locate the whole day... thx!

That's a very interesting observation!

I will investigate it.

My observations.

• @Nemesis77swe's theory that the users cancels the process doesn't seem to be true.
• Suddenly the problem happens to me as well in the process I describe myself above, consistently. Why it worked before? No clue.
• The plugin goes through all the lines and appears to do what is it supposed to (but it doesn't)
• When I go to the last line (Ctrl+End) and reindent again and back to the top (Ctrl+Home), it works as expected.
• When I do that (go to the last line and reindent all lines) in code it doesn't work.
• I haven't got a clue why this all happens: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• Could be something in Scintilla (the editor component N++ uses) or N++ itself, but it could very well be something in the plugin.

So as a workaround: When you want to use this function, go to the last line and run the reindent function and it should work

I considered adding a message box with a warning. But that is gonna annoy very soon, so I'm not gonna do that. I will add a FAQ-item to the docs and explain it. And I've pinned this issue.

Good!, well not good that it don't work, but that you also saw this, so I wasn't going crazy 😆! and again, thx for a great plugin.
