It looks that somehow it is impossible to make the NP++ portable by just set the right path to the %APPDATA% location. It bases on the art how NP++ made portable and the way the admin restarts the NP++ itself.

I think I have a theory, why do we have such issues with a new Plugin Admin. But lucky us, NP++ saves all the saved and unsaved files form the session in the backup directory and doesn’t override them, so the information is still here. I don’t customize the rest of the NP++ settings much, otherwise I would probably see more settings disappear. As somebody here already mentioned, my biggest impact is the loosing of the saved and unsaved files AKA session because the session.xml file get lost. but Stack Overflow does not handle questions that have answers that vary over time, so this answer will languish at the bottom :( 8 months, 1 week ago answer for new version (8) is recent has less votes: stackoverflow.In my case, I also loose some setting in the case of plugins update. 1 year, 3 months ago Now (with release of v8) this is the correct answer. v7.9.5 1 year, 4 months ago An update changed the theme folder from the Notepad++ install folder to AppData.
