_EDIT: FIXED_

Reminder:
In a RTL interface NPP flips horizontally the toolbar buttons.
The Replace button (A-B) is particularly weird.

And so is the Set First button ("1" flipped).
When you announce the new version, you can offer a RTL version (with slightly different icons, not just flipped).
Alternatively you can refer RTL users to the CT plugin.

Hello Yaron,

Thank you for summarizing here the known issues. 👍

I don't want to make several releases - it's tedious and is something that's not interesting to me. It is just a routine work and I find it rather boring. Besides, then we would need to have several CP versions in the Plugin Manager which is a mess.

Is it possible to make the button bitmaps universal to both LTR and RTL?

Thanks.

Hello Pavel,

Only one version in the Plugin Manager.
I'll provide the RTL version if you don't mind (so it's a reminder to myself).
If you do mind, just mention the issue in the Help section and refer the users to CT.

I've done my best. It would require a professional designer.

Thank you.

Start NPP.
Open 2 new empty files.
Compare.

Result:
The second file is closed.

Hello Yaron,

Thank you for adding that to the known issues list.
I'll fix that later by checking if both files are empty.

You've done a really great job. 👍

OK, that's perfect.
How are you going to distribute the RTL version? Just link it in the Plugin forum of N++ community?
Thanks.

Is my suggestion to programmatically open a new file implementable?

Yes, a link in the forum.

Hello Yaron,

Unfortunately no (at least the amount of code is not worth it).
I'll think about what I can do but that's really not that critical issue.

Hello Yaron,

I've added the RTL button bitmaps also. Now CP detects if it is in RTL mode and loads the corresponding icons. Could you give latest master a try? Thanks.

I will also need the RTL version of the "Set First" bitmap - it seems you have forgotten to send it to me.
Thank you.

The best apps have some Known Issues.
IMO this can be one of CP. :)

That's great.
I actually thought about it but didn't want to suggest it.
Thank you.

The RTL icons have to be flipped so that when NPP flips them they would be displayed properly. :)
The "Set First" image is the same for LTR and RTL (just flipped); the others are slightly different.
As I uploaded the RTL icons not flipped (for whoever might be interested), I didn't include FirstToCompareRTL.

Are you flipped now? :)

Here are the right RTL icons.

Hello Yaron,

The icons in RTL should be flipped horizontally (across the Y axis) right?
I see a difference only in FirstToCompareRTL. All other bitmaps seem the same as the LTR versions.
Are you sure those are needed?
Thanks.

Hello Pavel,

Yes, the RTL icons should be flipped horizontally.

The images' frame (except FirstToCompare) should represent a "window".
If you just flip them, the frame's gradient and other minor elements would not be displayed as intended.
So there's a difference between the LTR and the RTL icons.

Having said that, it's not that important. The other three icons would be OK flipped by NPP.
It would be fine if you prefer to reduce the resources and only use FirstToCompareRTL.

Thank you.

It would be fine if you prefer to reduce the resources and only use FirstToCompareRTL.

If you prevent NPP from flipping FirstToCompare or re-flip it, you wouldn't have to use FirstToCompareRTL either.

Thank you.

Hello Yaron,

I decided to use only FirstToCompare RTL bitmap.
The others' differences between LTR and RTL variants are hardly noticeable.
The changes are in latest master commit.
Thank you.

[Yaron10]

Hello Pavel,

That's a good decision. Most people wouldn't notice the difference.
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,

I'll close this thread and open Known Issues / Reminders (2).
Thanks.
