Take notes's config/settings are lost by restarting Notepad++

Open MasQueElite opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

I open Notepad++, I change some of the settings in the Take Notes plugin, I close Notepad++, and then when I open it again, all of the configuration is lost. I tried to create the "config" folder where $cdir$ is since the plugin didn't create it automatically. And even with that folder it doesn't seem to create any sort of file. Even if I execute Notepad++ in admin mode.

Take Notes version: 1.23 (build 2021-08-06) Notepad++ version: 8.2.1

I love this plugin and I plan on using it a lot, so it would be nice if this issue was fixed. Thank you.

I cannot reproduce your problem. Perhaps you don't have permissions to write to the folder or the plugin config folder is not where it is expected.

Have the same problem for Auto Save, started long time ago, but can't uderstand why/when it happens (settings retains on closing-opening, but sometimes see not saving and find that settings options are empty), I'll try to reproduce.

Same problem, if I change something in settings, like folder where notes are stored or toolbar icons, it saves but lost after restart. I have tried many times, it occurs often, but not always. Maybe a workaround was creating a sub folder inside the desired folder.

I have this problem from many years and versions. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I still cannot reproduce the problem. It may be related on how how NPP closes, may be not properly. Are the installation portable? where is the config folder?

I'm not sure if it only happens with the portable installation, but it is in this case and was most of the time. Apparently N++ closes without problems and after reboot it reopens the session correctly, Which config folder are you asking about?
