So is this actually a bug in the ComparePlus plugin? Several more things to directly answer your questions and to give you some idea on the Notepad++ implementation for the plugin messages (at least as I remember it and as I understand it): You can then make your file associations use the “portable” Notepad++.
If you couch it that way, and emphasize that it will make IT’s job easier so you won’t be pestering them every time you find a new plugin that you need, you might be able to convince them to do it.Īs another potential alternative for you: you could use a portable version of Notepad++ (download the ZIP or 7ZIP instead of the installer), you can place your Notepad++ in some other folder hierarchy where you do have write permission that way, you can install your own plugins without IT intervention – as long as your workplace policies won’t get you fired for trying to circumvent their restrictions. If you already have IT permission for Notepad++ (since it’s in the locked-down Program FIles* area), maybe you could ask them to unlock the program files\Notepad++ hierarchy, or at least program files\notepad++\plugins hierarchy, so that you could install Notepad++ plugins without giving you full access to install other programs. Everyone has different goals, and sometimes those goals are mutually exclusive.
They tried a compromise-solution like you suggested in the 7.6.0-7.6.2-era, but that was abandoned: there were too many people from IT departments who complained because with the alternate location, they couldn’t prevent employees from installing unapproved plugins. If this area can be rectified, or at least provide an alternate non-locked down area, that would be great
