Tab order - changing, sorting, etc
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 4:42 am
I am constantly opening new files to work on. I may have a few files in a folder that i need to work with, but i only open each one when i need to (save time and space).
For example, right now i am working with 6 files in a folder. But i may never have to open some, or only open them to check something. Now i always have the main file i am working on in the left-most tab. And as an extension of that, order the files from most important/often used at the left to least at the right. So you can imagine how annoying it is for me every time i open a file, to drag it across to the right just to get it out of the way.
So my question/suggestion is: is there a way to order files in the tabs (and/or the Document Selector)? I haven't checked, but if there isn't a way, i suggest this:
In Configure -> Preferences -> Editor have a combo box & check box
And likewise for the Document Selector.
thanks

Code: Select all
[check box] Sort opened tabs by: [combo box]
[combo box] accending
name descending
modification date [/combo box]
creation date
time opened // The one i want
size
[/combo box]
