Notes:
Notepqd++ v4.7 is more robust thanks to the new recovery system to prevent the fail loading due to the corrupted files.
In this version, besides the User Language Define System, the new language (Scintilla external lexer) can be added in Notepad++ under the plugin form.
This new release includes 2 very demanded plugins : FTP_Synchronize and NppExport plugin.
FTP_Synchronize let you edit a remoted file directly in Notepad++. It uploads modified file while you save it in Notepad++.
NppExport is a true WYSIWYG exporter. It allows you not only to save your source code as a html/rtf file, but also to copy your source code in the clipbaord in RTF/HTML format, so you can paste it into your word processor (MS Word, Abiword, openoffice.org Writer) to get the same visual effect.
