Todd and freak3dot are right. Notepad++ will hold the file and revert it to some crappy old version if it is open when you copy.

This is precisely what I was looking for, thanks.

I am surprised they didn’t include this plugin in the installer by default – it is so handy!

Just one little remark for Windows 7 users, the “Application Data” folder is this one:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

I Agree with Todd here. I had to close N++ before dropping the xml config file in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Notepad++\plugins\config directory.

I am using the FunctionList_2_0_UNI_dll.zip beta version of the Functions plugin and N++ 5.4.5

@Steph, I had the same issue with the file being overwritten, but it seemed to happen on CLOSE, not OPEN.

So, once I figured that out and closed N++, _then_ copied the FunctionList.xml into
…\application_data\notepad++\… as @Claude said, things worked. No need to mark it read-only, and therefore new rules can be added.

Hi,

I take N++ UNICODE version 5.3 then I get the UNICODE beta version of FunctionList there :
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=Plugin_Central

I get the same problem has Mark, so I copy the file has Claude says but it was change automaticaly when I open N++. So I copy again and change the file attribut to read only… It works (but I can’t had new parsing rules)

@Mark have a look on your personal setting folder (document and setting\usename\application data\notepad++\plugins\config...) This is THE place you have to put the default xml file you got with the plugin. (BTW, I deleted xml cfg file on "program files", to avoid future error.)

Weird – I’ve installed Function List and it shows up on the menu, but the language rules are not being used?! The FunctionListRules.xml has rules as expected, but if I look in the Language Parsing Rules dialog, there are no rules – what’s up w/that?! Anyone know how to fix this?
I’m on WinXP Pro sp2, using NP++ v5.3.1 unicode
