Padding left
Submitted by Marcio R. Lima on Mon, 04/22/2024 - 10:36
Hello! Would it be possible to create an option to define the internal spacing of the borders, or at least on the left side? Here's how it currently looks: https://www.marciorl.com.br/eclipse/notepad4e/notepad4e_padding.png. Thank you.
Hmmm... That's odd text…

Hmmm... That's odd text shouldn't be cropped like that. A contribution to fix it would be welcome!
Perfect Should Be a Default in Eclipse
Submitted by Justin M on Wed, 09/27/2023 - 17:16
I usually use a paper note pad for notes but tried some different things like have text notepad notes/to dos in the project. The tasks view is close to what I would want but it is over complicated and really wish it could default to locking to a project and items. Apparently there is some way to do it but it looks like you need to manually specify an element or something. Whats an element? No idea. This is way simpler to use and works really nice being tabbed with the workspace list and can import/export really easily. Only thing that I could ask to add is maybe have two options one that can have one note for the whole project and changes when clicking from project to project and the other would be to basically do the same but with all elements like java files. So you can click a java file look at notepad and see oh this is stuff I wanted to do for this and click another one and be like oh yeah. Not sure how possible it is but would be neat. Still heaps and bounds better than using tasks.
Glad you like the plugin!…

Well no, it isn't. You should drag and drop the Install button to your running Eclipse workspace, use the Eclipse Marketplace Client directly from within your IDE, or use the update site URL (https://pyvesb.github.io/Notepad4e/) by entering it in the Help -> Install New Software... dialog box. ;-)

Using drag and drop the Install button to your running Eclipse workspace has the following error:
Unable to read repository at https ://pyvesb.github.io/Notepad4e/content.xml.

This seems like a common issue with some users. A quick search highlighted similar errors on a variety of Eclipse plugins:
github.com/gnu-mcu-eclipse/eclipse-plugins/issues/151
github.com/RustDT/RustDT/issues/162
github.com/infinitest/infinitest/issues/212
Could you please take a look at the proposed solutions and see if any of them help?
