You might have wondered if anyone else would care as you were drafting that, but this is actually a frustratingly common topic for me. Thanks for the excellent detail.

Don't tell me about frustration, this is one of my main gripes with most software I test.

So much so that I have come to take it for granted -- i.e., unless the dev expressly states otherwise, I expect formats to be excruciatingly non-compliant with international standards.
Thus, this effort isn't really selfless, it's here for the benefit of my future self...

Of course

All of this is rather confusing because Notepad3 online help (https://www.rizonesoft.com/documents/) is void of any reference and so it took me days to figure it out.
Quick note to point out that Notepad3's Github repo (github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3) does contain detailed info about the settings in 'notepad3.ini' file.
Re: Notepad3 - text editor
So a new version of Notepad3 is out (Ennovy already covered the updated post) but two things that jumped out at me in the update include more markdown support and a dark mode.
The dark mode improvements are clear between new and old versions (new version is lower-left):

FYI, enlightenment on a host of Notepad3 INI directives can be found at the following Github entry:Midas wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 10:10 am As it turns out, there was a further INI file at '%PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad3\Notepad3.ini' (my install location in Windows 10) [...]
This cascading configuration prevented other path changes from taking effect...

Re: Notepad3 - text editor
You are welcome.
I have looked inside full changelog and I have see that last version is a BETA v6.24.1222.1 of December 22, 2024.Midas wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2024 4:04 pm And FTR, Notepad3 v6.24.1221.1, released 2024-12-21, full changelog is at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/master/Build/Changes.txt.
But where are these betas ?
Links and details:
• Notepad3 BETA-channel access (issue #1129): https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues/1129
• direct download Notepad3Portable_6.24.1222.1_beta.paf.exe.7z: https://workupload.com/file/DLNmHbYRvZK + confirm Download
• direct download Notepad3_6.24.1222.1_beta_Portable.7z: https://workupload.com/file/WAQLP6rrCRF + confirm Download
Notes:
1. Direct download via data sharing service provided by workupload.com https://workupload.com/
2. How to extract Files from PortableApps.com executable format
in other words: download Notepad3Portable_6.24.1222.1_beta.paf.exe.7z then rename it as Notepad3Portable_6.24.1222.1_beta.paf.exe (without the .7z extension) and install itThe PortableApps.com executable format is nothing but an executable 7z-archive.
If you replace the extension (.exe) by '.7z' or append a '.7z' extension,
you can handle it like a normal 7z-archive.
You can extract, e.g. the 32-bit, Notepad3 version from archive path:
"Notepad3Portable_xxx.paf.exe.7z\App\Notepad3\x86\Notepad3.exe".
Replacing/Removing '.7z' extension back to '.exe' will make an executable,
which can be installed like all other PortableApps.com executable archives.
Best regards,
3. the BETA contains last fixes and it is for Testing
4. after installation ther program start with Your native language (installer recognize tha native language of Your Windows S.O.)
