Description Scott Stark 2001-01-09 17:39:25 UTC 
I often end up with 40+ files open in the source editor and it
would be nice to sort the tabs by name rather than the order
in which they were opened to facilitate locating a source window.

Likewise, it would be nice to have a Window->Close All command that
closed all open source editor tabs. Right now its tedious to close
all of the source windows.
Comment 1 Petr Nejedly 2001-02-02 11:19:59 UTC 
Whis is in the competence of the core module.
Comment 2 Jan Zajicek 2001-09-07 09:23:04 UTC 
Ability to close multiple windows is already filed as enhancement, see
deepends on filed. Change order sounds interresting ;-)
Comment 3 David Simonek 2002-01-30 15:21:56 UTC 
Evaluation:
Ability to sort editor tabs abphabetically sounds good, however some
questions remains (UI team, please tell me your opinions):
- should be this behaviour default, it means any new opened tab is not
opened as last, but inserted at right position
- does it make any sense to *not* want editor tabs ordered
alphabetically (sources from one package close to each other?)
- how will this relate to the DnD support for tabs, should user be
able to break alphabetical order though DnD
- should this feature be optional? Which will be default?
Comment 4 David Simonek 2002-01-31 17:53:54 UTC 
UI team ,your opinions on importance of this? It looks good for me and
I would PROBABLY want to develop this into 3.4
Comment 5 Peter Zavadsky 2002-07-24 09:29:06 UTC 
UI please, put some words in, then the target milestone could be adjusted.

Comment 7 _ tboudreau 2003-03-10 14:01:48 UTC 
Would not be bad to have a "Close all except this" item on the tab
context menu, also.
Comment 8 Marian Mirilovic 2003-11-26 12:56:46 UTC 
Because Window System v1 will not be supported from now by our team, all old
winsys issues (now "core/window system v1" issues) are going to be closed as
WONTFIX. 

Changes in API which emerged both from UI spec 
and problems with adjusting to the older API are described in the document
http://core.netbeans.org/windowsystem/changes.html.
 It shows also recommends how the client code should be adjusted to the new
window system.

If you think this issue apply also to the new winsys then change the
subcomponent (to "core/window system") and REOPEN it.
Comment 9 Marian Mirilovic 2004-02-27 14:10:59 UTC 
issue doesn't apply to new window system - verified
