Different setup of functionlist and us-def language in NP++ 8.1.5

[SamueldeVries]

Hi Julien,

First of all: thank you for this great functionality for Notepad++! I use it a lot.

In setting up the functionlist and user-defined language in the latest version of Notepad++ (v.8.1.5) on a new computer (so not by updating NP++) I came across some problems related to the newer version of NP++. I managed to solve these (not sure if this is the best method) and I thought it would be good to report back here.

In NP++ 8..1.5 (starting in some earlier version?) there are some changes:

• Use defined languages are contained within seperate xml's in the folder userDefineLangs in %appdata%/notepad++ and no longer in a single file called userDefineLangs. I gues it makes sense to only place the EnergyPlus-JM language there and no longer use the full userDefineLangs.xml file with all the default languages in there as well.

• The newer versions also use a folder 'functionList' with seperate functions for each language in addition to a file 'overrideMap.xml' that describes the mapping of the function to related language. I therefore did the following:

• Removed the <associationMap> and <parsers> section from your function list file and saved this as EnergyPlus-JM.xml in the functionlist directory.

• In the overrideMap.xml I added the association: <association id= "EnergyPlus-JM.xml" userDefinedLangName="EnergyPlus-JM"/>

• This might be specific to my installation: I couldn't find any functionlist.xml or functionlist folder in %appdata%/notepad++. I did find it in the executable dir C:\Program Files\Notepad++\functionList'. I made the changes mentioned in the previous point there.

I attached my functionlist and overridemap below.

Gr,

Samuel

Hi Samuel, I don't use notepad++ anymore (I don't use Windows period, unless I have to), so this repo is basically unmaintained.

I'd welcome a pull request though, and would take a few minutes to test it out. It's hacktoberfest this month, so that'd be a nice period to do a contribution :)

As far as why you didn't find it in %Appdata%, perhaps it's because you used the portable zip? https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/function-list/
