1. DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set of scripts for the Notepad++ Python Scripts plugin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Install `PythonScript` plugin within the Notepad++ `Plugins` menu item.
   Note:
    Use the 32 bit Notepad++ version because of the 64 bit still is not
    ready on a moment.

2. Copy scripts into `scripts` subdirectory inside the Notepad++ directory:
   `../plugins/Config/PythonScript`.

3. Change the initialization item from the PythonScript configuration menu
   item: `Plugins->Python Scripts->Configuration...`:
   From `LAZY` to `ATSTARTUP`

Now each time when the Notepad++ starts it will call to `startup.py` script.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. SCRIPTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* `/tacklebar/reopen_all_files.py` -

  script to workaround the Notepad++ bug:
    `[Feature Request] Language auto detection from simplified session file`:
    https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/5844

* `/tacklebar/toggle_readonly_flag_for_all_tabs.py` -

  script to toggle the Read-Only flag for all TABS (not files)

* `/tacklebar/clear_readonly_flag_from_all_files.py` -

  script to clear the Read-Only flag from all TAB FILES

* `startup.py` -

  script to call upon the Notepad++ instance launch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. USAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, `startup.py` will automatically call upon start of each Notepad++
instance.
All other scripts can be directly used from the Notepad++ Plugins menu.

Examples of the Notepad++ extra command line:

>
notepad++.exe -nosession -multiInst -openSession -z -from_utf16 -z --open_from_file_list -z "<utf-16le-with-bom-paths-list-file>"

>
notepad++.exe -nosession -multiInst -openSession -z -from_utf16le -z --open_from_file_list -z "<utf-16le-without-bom-paths-list-file>"
