I hate Ads in applications, and I ensure you that there was no, and there will never be Ads in Notepad++.Ī built-in Plugin Manager is in progress, and I will do my best to ship it with Notepad++ ASAP. The reason is Plugin Manager contains the advertising in its dialog. You may notice that Plugin Manager plugin has been removed from the official distribution. The lack of overwrite warnings is bound to trip me up at some point, but let’s see how that goes.As of Notepad++ version 7.5, plugin manager is no longer shipped with Notepad++ It’s free, quick, easy to install and a doddle to use. NppFTP offers me the basic functionality that I need in a convenient way, making my old FTP software redundant. Like Ross and Rachel from Friends, my long relationship with FileZilla has finally come to an end. Select the file in the NppFTP window and click the download button to show the file in Notepad++ instantly. Pulling a script from your Pi to your PC works the same way but just using the ‘ Download file‘ button instead. Version control can help here – I always create new versions of my project scripts when I make changes, giving me something to roll-back to if I mess it up. This is where NppFTP fails a little, offering no warning and overwriting without hesitation. If we were using FileZilla, we’d push the file over and see an overwrite warning with some options. What if you already have the file on your Pi, but just want to make a few tweaks? I can verify that the pigs did in fact move through space Updating Code (WARNING!)
It works very well, is simple enough to use and lets me store my various Pis as ‘sites’ so I can connect with just two clicks. What does this mean? It means I can have the luxury of proper syntax-highlighted code with the convenience of quick upload to my Pi, without moving out of my editing window.įileZilla has been my FTP application of choice since I started using the Pi. I’m now 2-3 years in to my ‘life of Pi’ and I’m still doing things the same way, well, until this week that is.Ī couple of days ago I found a plugin (via my friend Albert Hickey) for my favourite text editor Notepad++, that gives you some basic FTP functionality in a little side window right next to your code. The idea of investing in a separate screen, keyboard and mouse for a gadget ‘I didn’t even know how to use yet’ seemed crazy.Īs a result, one of the first things I learnt was how to SSH in to my Pi, and use FTP ( FileZilla) to transfer scripts to and from the Pi’s directories. I’ve always been a headless user ever since I first started with the Raspberry Pi.
