NAME

nppConfigCheck - Utility to compare Notepad++ config files to the default config files

USAGE

nppConfigCheck.exe [--path <pathToNotepadPlusPlus>] [--version <versionToCompareTo>] [--config appdata|<pathToNotepadPlusPlusConfigs>]

    --path <pathToNotepadPlusPlus>  Chooses the path for the notepad++ executable.
                                    If not provided, defaults to checking `c:\Program Files\Notepad++` then `c:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++`.

    --version <versionToCompareTo>  Chooses a version of Notepad++ to compare against.
                                    If not provided, defaults to the most recently-released version of Notepad++.

    --config appdata                        Checks the %AppData%\Notepad++ folder.
    --config <pathToNotepadPlusPlusConfig   Checks a specific path for config files.
                                            This is useful for when you have Notepad++ configured to use a Cloud path,
                                            or using the -settingsDir command-line option.
                                            If not provided, will use a heuristic to guess the correct location.
