Notepad++ plugin to assist handling Guids (easy selection, creation)

NppPluginGuidHelper

NppPluginGuidHelper is a Notepad++ plugin to assist you when you handle Guids in Notepad++

It currently features

• Easy selection of guids - Just Select/Double-click the first or last part of the guid.
• Easy guid creation - Use the menu. An generate multiple guids using the multi-line rectangular selection (use alt-shift-down)

Installation

This plugin is too new to have been added to the notepad++ pluginmanager - that takes a couple of months to get in place. So manual installation only.

Download a binary release and stick the GuidHelper.dll inside the c:\program files (x86)\notepad++\plugins\ folder.

Alternatively, download the source and build it - the build will copy the dll to the notepad folder.

Final thoughts...

This plugin has been created using the Notepad++ pluginpack for .Net https://github.com/kbilsted/NotepadPlusPlusPluginPack.Net/releases

npppluginguidhelper's Issues

not work in 64bit notepad++

forkert match

when a guid is present somewhere after the selection and the selection is long enough, the plugin wrongfully selects the text at the cursor - event though it is not a guid.

eg select the phone number in the line

{ "Phonenumber":"99990580", "oldBlockStatus":"1", "AccountId":"9999992C-5668-450E-8B04-A22901999999"},

Add option to Uppercase GUID

For use with tools such as Wix, it would be great to produce the GUID in Uppercase.
