Description of the Issue
Notepad++ installer doesn't update the files that are already present in the C:\Program Files\Notepad++\autoCompletion folder, even if the installation of the “Auto-completion Files” component was ticked during install.
Example Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Clean install Notepad++ v8.5.6 (without changing anything during installation, maybe apart unselecting the “Run Notepad++ v8.5.6” at the end of the installation)
- Go to
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\autoCompletionand check the modification date of thecss.xmlfile –
it should sayMay 27, 2021, 12:57:56 AM. - Now install Notepad++ v8.6.3 (on top of the existing installation)
- After the installation is done, go back to
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\autoCompletionand check the modification date of the same file again – the date should be still the same. - Delete the
css.xmlfile and run the Notepad++ installer for the version 8.6.3 (same default settings), go back to the same location and check thecss.xmlfile – now the modification date should update and sayFebruary 11, 2024, 5:43:26 PM.
Expected Behavior
Notepad++ installer should update the files found in the autoCompletion directory if the installation of the “Auto-completion Files” component was selected during install.
Actual Behavior
Notepad++ installer adds only the files that were missing from the autoCompletion directory.
