      Hello, @Don-ho,

      You said :

      Regarding this point, could you guys test the binary here:
      https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/12224

      I personally do not see any reference to a binary file ?

      May be I miss something obvious as I’m not very acquainted to GitHub functionalities !

      Best Regards,

      guy038

        How to test a PR’s binary is described HERE on the (github) Notepad++ site, and @Yaron gets even more specific about it HERE.

          Colors OK
          Kind of weird that tab color is saved in the sessions.xml but not in the MRU history in the config.xml

            What does this mean? You expect that if a tab has been colored and then the tab is closed by the user and reopened, it should restore the previously set color to the tab? If so, then I think that is not a reasonable expectation. If something different, can you elaborate on what you mean?

              I think that is a reasonable expectation. People think differently. Sorry.

                But it is not the Notepad++ expectation. When a file is closed these things, for example are not remembered as well if the file is reopened:

                • encoding previously set (not autodetected)
                • bookmarks
                • caret position
                • selection made (if any)
                • styling (1-5) that had previously been done
                • mark styling from Mark
                • etc.

                So, remembering tab color for a previously opened but now closed tab is NOT reasonable. You can disagree, but this will never be something done by Notepad++.

                  Hi, @don-ho and all,

                  Thanks Don for finding a nice set of five tab colors ! I would say that this new group of colors does not make their modifications, via the Style configurator, so urgent !

                  And thanks to @Yaron and @alan-kilborn for providing their GitHub information to me :-))

                  Now, as @Andi-Kiissel spoke about the MRU history feature ( Ctrl + Tab ) with @alan-kilborn, I noticed a weird behaviour :

                  • Open the View > Document List panel

                  • Then, open the Settings > preferences... > General panel

                  • Tick, then untick the Alternate icons option in the Tab Bar section

                  => The icons in the Document List panel change accordingly, as expected !

                  But, if you use the Ctrl + Tab shortcut, the MRU list always displays the old “floppy” icon ( in blue, red or grey color ) !

                  Not critical, of course, but I’m personally got used to the alternate icons which are more easy to distinguish and should be the default set, to my mind !

                  Best Regards,

                  guy038

                  P.S. :

                  So, here is the way I understand the method to test a new build of N++ :

                  • Click on the “https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/Number” link, provided by @don-ho or an other contributor

                  => A new GitHub window opens

                  • At right of a line, below, containing the modifications, click on the green check mark ( Not on the last hexadecimal number ! )

                  • On the small windows, which pops up, click on the blue link Details

                  • On a new Appveyor window, click, either, on the job name :

                    • Environment: compiler=MSC, platform=Win32; Configuration: Debug

                    • Environment: compiler=MSC, platform=x64; Configuration: Debug

                  • On the new Appveyor window which opens , click on the Artifact tab

                  • Click on the blue link Notepad++.win32.Debug.exe or Notepad++.x64.Debug.exe

                  => The corresponding file should be downloaded on your laptop !

                    Not a new feature, and not a regression with 8.4.6RC, so…I think you need to create a new issue about it.
