Error message when Notepad++ starts up after plugin's installation

Description

When Notepad++ starts up after installing the plugin, the following error message is displayed:

Analysis

The reason is that the plugin's ZIP package contains the plugin's DLL file and the missing file CSVLint.xml as well. Thus, during plugin installation both files are copied to the plugin's directory. The plugin installer of Notepad++ is not able to copy the file CSVLint.xml to the correct location.

Possible Fix

The file CSVLint.xml should not be included in the plugin's ZIP package. Instead it should be written by the plugin when it starts up and notices that the file is missing.

Applies to

Plugin version 0.4.1

This is an important one, thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. I missed this one because I already had the CSVLint.xml file in the config folder during testing.

I assumed (incorrectly) that the Plugins Admin would handle copying the CSVLint.xml file to the Config folder. I've asked on the Notepad++ forum, someone clarified it and I've fixed the issue. The plug-in will now just create the CSVLint.xml file if it is missing and this will be available in the next update.
