So, if you face some problems with update plugin manager like sort of issue and/or not appearing the installed plugin consider re-installing the notepad++. To do this, in the top menu go to Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager, as shown in the picture: There is a list of plugins for Notepad++ here. Thereafter i performed the actions which i have listed above. To fix this i un-installed the previously notepad++ and downloaded a fresh copy and installed. Even after i updated it twice it kept me asking to update Plugin Manager first. There might have been some bug in the previous version or don’t know but when i went to “Install” the plugin it kept me asking to Upgrade “Plugin Manager” first. After automatic “download and install” (in step 2 above) when i restared notepad++ the plugin would’t appear at all. NOTE: Before installing it succefully i had problems installing it. Just restart it and check your Plugin tab now. Once the download is complelte it asks you to restart the notepad++. A download window should appear and download should begin automatically.ģ. Check plugin name to be installed, “Explorer” in our case and click “Install” (See image below). It should list all available plugins which could be added to your current version of Notepad++ installed in your machine. Go to Plugins > Plugin Manager > Show Plugin Manager.Ģ. After a few bits of r&d i reached at the conclusion that Notepad++ had Explorer plug-in which could be installed with a few clicks!ġ. Once i decided to give Notepad++ a serious try as my default code editor the first major thing i noticed was the non availability of explorer like file browsing panel (generally to the left side).
