Hello, @rowan-sylvester-bradley, and All,
Presently, this feature is not implemented in current N++ versions. But, as a work-around, you may, simply, use the “two views” functionality of N++ !
So :
Open, normally, your two source and log files, in Notepad++
Then, right-click on the tab of your log file, and choose, in the contextual menu, the option Move to other view
May be, the separation line will be a vertical boundary. As I presume that an horizontal separation should produce better displaying, just right-click on that boundary and choose the option Rotate to right or Rotate to left
Finally, choose a different zoom value for the main view and the secondary view ;-))
Remarks :
Of course, you can modify the hight ( width) of each view, by mouse-dragging the boundary line, up or down ( left or right )
You may, temporarily, hide a view, with a left click on one of the two “chevrons”, located at the beginning and at the end of this boundary line
Use the default F8 shortcut, to switch between each views
When you want to move a file from one view to another, just click on its tab and move it to the other view zone
Best regards,
guy038
P.S. :
A second method to place a first file in the secondary view panel, ( even easier ! ) :
Left-click on the tab file and drag it down in the windows text area
Release the left mouse button
Finally, choose the option Move to other view
