Validate Now throws Access Violation

[tgeysen78]

XML Tools 3.1.1.12 in notepad++ v8.3.2 64bit displays an 'access violation' popup when trying to validate an xml. there is no XSD defined in the XML itself, only a default namespace

Can you please provide a sample file to help me reproduce the issue ?

I confirm the problem. W 11 Pro, Notepad++ v. 8.3.2, XML Tools 3.1.1.12. The problem did not exist for notepad 8.2.1 and
XML tools 3.1.1.10. Looks like a technical quirk.
Access_Violation_example.xml.txt
This is just one small example, but it is a regular case with all xml files I checked. Due to GDPR I would have anonymize too much data to provide you more cases.

Same issue here with XML Tools 3.1.1.12 in notepad++ v8.3.2 64bit. The issue does NOT occur with XMLTools 3.1.1.11 in notepad++ v8.3.2 64bit.

I'm having the same problem. Happens with this simplest XML

<Data>
	<Field1>A</Field1>
	<Field2>A</Field2>
</Data>

The error occurs immediately upon clicking the Validate Now menu option, where, normally, the dialog would pop up to enter the xsd.

Edit: I downgraded to 3.1.1.11 and it is working as expected.

how do you downgrade from 3.1.1.12 to 3.1.1.11?
when i go to xml tools in notepadd++it only gives the option to get the newest version?
