Description allenskd 2010-06-28 16:52:25 UTC
Hello, 

I would like an enhancement of the current opened files in tab pane, but introduce them in vertical way with some extra functionality. 

Containers, just like palettes, depending on the project type opened files should be categorized into containers for example:

- Templates (filter by type: ('html','phtml', 'etc'))
- Source (filter by type: 'php','py')
- JavaScript (filter by type: 'js')
- Presentation (filter by type: 'css')

collapsing, expanding containers, adding new extensions to containers to index. Disable tab pane (maintaining the menu of items when you right-click the opened file tab) and enable a window pane to the right

I would really like this to improve the organization of opened files when working with web application themes or working with multiple files, instead of scrolling to find the file. 

I know there is a dropdown list in the tab pane where it shows a list of opened files and you click them to go to that file instantly. The problem is, it doesn't have a "sort by type".


I hope it's taken under consideration. If I posted this in the wrong section, then sorry, it's my first ticket here.
