When checked Only one instance, start from command:
grepWinNP3.exe /searchPath:E:\Downloads
Search in will be set E:\Downloads
run again:
grepWinNP3.exe /searchPath:E:\Projects
Search in cannot change.
@bstaint : I can not reproduce this issue - setting searchPath via command line multiple times works as expected 🤔 .
Please tell me the version number you are referring to.
version:
Notepad3Portable_5.20.811.1_beta.paf.exe.7z

Ah, sorry - I missed that point: the grepWinNP3 instance is kept open (Only one instance) - okay, I am going to analyze this ...
@bstaint : upcoming next beta will fix this issue.
you are also able to provide a different "searchFor" pattern too (> grepWinNP3.exe /searchFor:blahblub /searchPath:C:/).
(searchFor: must be first, if used).
