Pastebin++ Notepad++ Plugin

This project contains the source code for a Notepad++ plugin to sync with Pastebin.com.

Features

• Upload selected text or the entire file content to Pastebin.com.
• Securely stores your Pastebin Developer API key using the Windows Credential Manager.
• Asynchronous uploads prevent the Notepad++ UI from freezing.
• Configurable settings for API key, paste name, format, expiration, and privacy.

Building the Plugin

1. Prerequisites:

   • Visual Studio (2019 or later recommended).
   • Notepad++ (ensure the architecture, 32-bit or 64-bit, matches your build target).
   • libcurl pre-compiled binaries for Windows.

2. Setup libcurl:

   • Download libcurl and extract it.
   • In Visual Studio, configure your project's properties:
     • C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories: Add the path to libcurl's include folder.
     • Linker > General > Additional Library Directories: Add the path to libcurl's lib folder.
     • Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies: Add libcurl.lib.

3. Build:

   • Open the .sln file in Visual Studio.
   • Select the correct platform (x86 or x64) to match your Notepad++ installation.
   • Build the solution in Release mode.

Installation

1. Create a folder named PastebinPlusPlus in your Notepad++ plugins directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\PastebinPlusPlus).
2. Copy the compiled PastebinPlusPlus.dll into this new folder.
3. If you dynamically linked libcurl, copy curl.dll (and its dependencies like libssl-*.dll, libcrypto-*.dll) into the same folder.
4. Restart Notepad++.
