Description
Notepad++ allows to store its setting in the Cloud. I mean the Settings -> Preferences -> Cloud -> Set your cloud location path.
However, there is nothing related to Cloud in the “Notepad_plus_msgs.h” and, as far as I can see, Notepad++'s plugins are not aware of the Cloud path.
Suggestion 1:
Maybe let’s add a new check-box “Store plugin’s settings in the Cloud” and make NPPM_GETPLUGINSCONFIGDIR to return the Cloud path in this case? Thus, the plugins will be able to use the Cloud path automatically.
Suggestion 2:
Maybe let’s add a new message similar to NPPM_GETSETTINGSCLOUDPATH? In such case, Notepad++'s plugins will be able to retrieve the Cloud path manually and deal with this path.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Specify some Cloud location in the Settings
- Ensure that Notepad++ itself uses the Cloud location for its settings
- What about Notepad++'s plugins?
Expected Behavior
Notepad++'s plugins need to be aware of the Cloud location to be able to store their settings there - either explicitly or implicitly.
Actual Behavior
Notepad++'s plugins are not aware of the Cloud location
