#7 Missing Menu Item

[Paul Richardson]

Missing Menu Item (via NppMenuSearch):
Settings --> Preferences --> General --> Document List Panel --> Show (Checkbox)

Problem:
I am unable to locate this menu items, via search terms, or even the full path to the item

Possible Question:
Menu items (and preferences) change periodically. How does NppMenuSearch adapt/update itself accordingly

Hi,
thank you for your detailed bug report. My plugin reads the current localization file at startup to find all preference dialog controls. In your case this is <path-to-npp>\localization\english.xml.

Because that file does not contain any <item id="6126" ... /> under /NotepadPlus/Native-Langue/Dialog/Preference (in contrast to e.g. german.xml), this item cannot appear in the search results list.

I consider this a bug in Notepad++. But if I find time, maybe I will write a workaround for it, because those localization files constantly cause trouble anyway.

Yours,
Peter

This is now fixed with svn revision 41. I will publish an update in the next few days.
