look for the github version as appimage that works fine (and has been recently updated). This one will crash most likely
Völlig unbrauchbar. Frisch installiert auf Mint 22.3, Cinnamon 6.6.7, Kernel 7.0.0.28-generic. Öffne das Programm, tippe 6 Zeichen, Crash. Öffne es erneut, gehe in die Einstellungen, sehe gerade den Einstellungsdislog, aber noch bevor ich darin irgendwas machen kann, Crash. Zum Glück gibts Alternativen. || Completely useless. Freshly installed on Mint 22.3, Cinnamon 6.6.7, Kernel 7.0.0.28-generic. I open the program, type 6 characters, and it crashes. I open it again, go to the settings, and see the settings dialog, but before I can do anything in it—crash. Fortunately, there are alternatives.
The tool work fine on Mint 22.2 - Remember to disable auto backup (Settings > Preferences > Backup open documents).To disable autobackup you have to be quick otherwise the program will close on the first autobackup attempt.
Thanks @HarryGehaktbal for the suggestion! It still crashes on Mint 22, but works fine after disabling auto backup (Settings > Preferences > Backup open documents). I'm really enjoying the app now and haven’t noticed any other bugs.
The tool is as good as Notepad++. Hint: Disable setting "creation of backups" to prevent crashing. Das Notepadqq ist genau so gut, wie Notepad++. Hinweis: Deaktiviere die Erstellung von Sicherungskopien, um Fehlfunktion des Notepadqq zu vermeiden.
Still crashes on Mint 22, but works once you disable auto backup. (within 15 seconds) Settings > preferences > backup open documents
As mentioned before, just copy some text and it crashes. Still looking for a good replacement of Notepad++.
Same as pretty much many people who have commented already. It crashes way quick and there isn't anything to stop it.
Every time you copy and past anything within a few minutes it crashes and wipes out all the content. Not useable.
I installed it, copied to it, and every time it just shut down AND wiped what I had pasted. My perception, worse than useless.
Crashes immediatelly when I try to enable it to show hidden charaters. Didn't work for 30 seconds.
Doesn't work. crashes 1 minute after use. Set to HTML language and got about one tag in before it just termed, no error message.
This thing crashes in less than a minute every time you try to use it. Impossible to get anything done with it.
@jwillems03 & @DutchGemini - thanks. Mint 22.1 Cinnamon. as of 2025-03-26, was still crashing.
Schöne fassung des belibten Notepad ++, grade für mich als Umsteiger hatte ich mir den gewünscht, leider stürzt diese Version immer wieder sporadisch ab ohne was zu sagen. Die Arbeit ist dann einfach weg.
