Notepad3: Insert Update Timestamps Error

[longnetpro]

Open a text file, press Shift+F5 or select from menu Insert -> Update Timestamps, the error message "The specified text was not found" pops up TWICE and after I dismiss the message box, nothing happens.

I am using the latest stable version as of Apr. 14, 2020.

Upcoming next Beta should fix the Timestamp handling:

• Default Timestamp format is $Date: <date-time> $, e.g. $Date: 3:57 PM 7/21/2020 $
• Your own Timestamp format can be defined in configuration file:
  [Settings2] DateTimeFormat=..., e.g. [Settings2] DateTimeFormat="#TimeStamp=%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S #"
  This will produce Timestamps like #TimeStamp=2020-07-21 16:02:23 #,
  (if defined, Insert Short & Long Format Timestamp uses this definition).
  The possible format string uses wcsftime() to fill the string with current timestamp)
• If you define your own Timestamp format, you should define the corresponding TimeStampRegEx regular expression pattern accordingly (here: [Settings2] TimeStampRegEx="#TimeStamp=[^#]+#"), so that Update Timestamps operation can find and update them correctly.

Hello @longnetpro ,
As far as I'm concerned, I think you (requester) can close this issue...

Upcoming next Beta revised Timestamp and DateTime string handling:

• Default DateTime formats are:
  
  
  
  1. SHORT: [Settings2] DateTimeFormat= (empty) - Notepad3's language locale short ' ' format is used
  
  
  2. LONG: [Settings2] DateTimeLongFormat= (empty) - Notepad3's language locale long ' ' format is used
  
  
  3. TIME_STAMP: [Settings2] TimeStampFormat= (empty) - "$Date: %s $" where '%s' is replaced by time/date in
     
     DateTimeFormat. E.g. [Settings2] TimeStampFormat=#TimeStamp=2020-07-21 16:02:23 #
  
  
• All DateTime formats accept the strftime() format string.
  Addon: TimeStampFormat accepts '%s' (which is no valid strftime() formatting code) - a placeholder for a DateTimeFormat formatted current date/time string. (mixing of strftime() and '%s' is not allowed).
• If you define your own TimeStampFormat, you should define the corresponding TimeStampRegEx regular expression pattern accordingly (for our example: [Settings2] TimeStampRegEx="#TimeStamp=[^#]+#"), so thatUpdate Timestamps operation can find and update them correctly.
• Additional Menu Point: Insert Current Timestamp.
