      The Doc Switcher panel is great. I like being able to jump quickly between the 30 or so files I have open. The problem is that a lot of the files I work with are log files, and they all have very similar (long) paths and identical names. To help me differentiate between the 20 “SystemOut.log” files I have open, I’d like to see a “Tag” column added to the Doc Switcher panel where I can put up to a 10 character identifier value, like “tcron101”.

        A similar request came up recently and one of the suggestions was to try the favorites feature of the Explorer plugin. It’s not exactly what you’re asking for, but it might work for you.

          I think this is the thread you mean (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14459/feature-request-favorites-list), but I’m not sure what it discusses meets the OP of this thread’s need…

            That thread suggested Workspaces and Projects (WAP). It chews up at least as much horizontal screen space and a bunch more vertical screen space than my suggestion, but I can make WAP work for me.

            Thank you!
