Thank you everyone. Great advice. FunctionList now operating correctly on my PC

A couple of quick notes for newbies (like me)…

1) Even when configured correctly, FunctionList will say “No Rule Defined” until you open a file.

2) On XP, the %APPDATA% directory everybody talks about is a folder called “Application Data” and it will be in your “Documents and Settings” folder under your username.

Thanks again for the posts.

I had the same problem. You have to put the file at the path François said, but also set it to read-only, otherwise Notepad++ will overwrite it everytime it launches and make it empty again.

In Win7 appdata is a “Junction”. So, CLOSE NOTEPAD++ (see why previously), then Explorer to C:\Users\username then Start Run %appdata% opend “real” place. Then look for Notepad++\plugins\config and OVERWRITE bad copy of FunctionListRules.xml with good copy from ProgramFiles\Notepad++\plugins\config

I do not understand why Notepad++ saves FunctionListRules.xml in user profile everytime it exits

I also can’t get this working. I’m on windows 7 and found the rules.xml file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config but that isn’t working either.

When I went in to the plugin config in npp and tried to add a rule (for any language), npp crashes.

Anyone have any ideas?

Dusty, take a look at my latest post: Feature request for Notepad++ Function List plugin. This should answer your comment.

Hi Daniel,

I just had a quick question – in my function list, classes are one tree base, with functions a sub-tree of an individual class, while class variables have their own separate root outside of the class list and no indication as to what class they belong to. Is that just how it has to be, or can the class variables show up as a subtree of the class they belong to?

Not a big deal – just the difference between good enough and exactly what I want .
