Strangely when I use 'update' from the Notepad++ '?' menu item [v5.9.1] it says there is no update available... BUT of course there is, via your link...

Because the auto-update notification is delayed so that it only provides mature updates. (As oppose to these more frequent manual ones.)

I already use FileHippo for many of my app downloads [and very good it is too]... BUT I don't like yet another 3rd party app*** lurking on my PC, looking through 'my drawers', and then communicating what it finds with the outside world - all secretly and behind my back... I'm sure they are very honorable guys but... one hacked line of code and full details of my inside-leg measurement and favorite pizza-toppings are beamed off to say the Sony Corporation, for them to [accidentally] spread all over the known universe... I've nothing to hide... but I'd rather it remained private anyway... I'll give them a chance - BUT when my personal data is on the BBC News at 10 questions will be asked 'in the House'
***I already have enough annoyance from QT, iTunes, Google-Updater, Adobe and the like, all wanting to waste my time updating stuff I don't really need much in the first place - without an option to stop most of them...

hi there,

can it be that this is not working for su2014? if so are there any alternatives for quickly running a ruby script written in notepad++ in su?

thanks for any help here, i merely get started with coding and stuff....:/
Notepad++.exe does not 'run' scripts.
It merely 'edits' them.
It is superior to plain Notepad.exe because of it syntax highlighting etc, but it is really just an editor...
You then save the .rb and use load 'myscript.rb' in the Ruby Console, OR restart SketchUp to effect the changes...
There are already several examples around [search Dan Rathbun's Developers forum posts ?]

Your post never mentioned 'bridge'.
If you look in other threads you will find it is no compatible with v2014.
Most of us manage to develop complex scripts without it anyway

Somehow I lost notepad++ from my computer. I had been using it to edit ruby scripts. So I downloaded the latest version and am having trouble setting it up to open .rb files.
Windows 7 operating system:
I added .rb in notepad++ settings/preferences/file associations
Now when I select a file.rb and click on open with notepad is the first choice and the drop down list does not have notepad++ and if I browse to select notepad++.exe the file still opens in plane notepad.

What am I missing???

Solved the problem. I selected a .rb file and dragged and dropped it into notepad++ then when I selected a .rb file and open with notepad++ was in the list.
