Dear subscribers of this newsletter,

The next "Release Candidate" (rc3) of Notepad2 version 3.1.21 has been
published.

This update restores compatibility of the command line format with
previous versions of Notepad2. By default, Notepad2 now again accepts
only a single filename on the command line. Like this, it's not
necessary to quote filenames containing spaces:

  Notepad2.exe test sample instance
  (opens the file "test sample instance")

To open multiple files from the command line, the new + switch can be specified:

  Notepad2.exe + test sample instance
  (opens the files "test", "sample" and "instance")

(It may also be useful to add the /p0 command line switch when opening
multiple files, to arrange windows cascaded).

To allow opening multiple files by default, the following setting in
the Notepad2 ini-file can be modified (set to "1"):

  [Settings2]
  ...
  MultiFileArg=1

With this changed default behaviour, it's possible to drop multiple
files on a Notepad2.exe icon, or use Notepad2 from Explorer's "Send
to..." menu with multiple files selected. To switch back to the
old-compatible command line mode, even if the default behaviour has
been modified in the ini-file, the new - command line option is
useful:

  Notepad2.exe - test sample instance
  (opens the file "test sample instance")
