NPP 5.0
Hi,
I switched on multiple line tabs, showing (depending on the # of file, ...) e.g. 4 lines of tabs.
This is a VERY good feature :)) and I would not miss it.
But there is one problem:
When you switch to a tab in another line in "hard wired (coded)" multiple line tabs like NPPs "Settings" the whole tab-line is brought to the foreground and the other one is set to be in the background.
NPP brings the selected file to the foreground and the sorting of the other ones are changed. This makes it nearly impossible to find another file again also if you have only 3 tab lines with 15 file shown.
Try to reorder the file: reordering is possible but you NEVER know where you are.
What I would suggest:
-- Fix the position of files in one tab line and never change it (except when the user explicitly changes the order).
-- When a new line is brought to the foreground take the whole line with all files in it.
-- If possible show a line number at the beginning of each line. So the orientation for the user (me) is easier to find a file again.
-- And the last one: Would be great if reordering would be possible.
Thank, margra.
