I will try to make the colors more distinguishable before the release to the public.
Regarding this point, could you guys test the binary here:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/12224And please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you -
Hello, @Don-ho,
You said :

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/12224I 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 !

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 Listpanel -
Then, open the
Settings > preferences... > Generalpanel -
Tick, then untick the
Alternate iconsoption in the Tab Bar section
=> The icons in the
Document Listpanel change accordingly, as expected !But, if you use the
Ctrl + Tabshortcut, 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
GitHubwindow opens-
At right of a line, below, containing the modifications, click on the
green checkmark ( Not on the last hexadecimal number ! ) -
On the small windows, which pops up, click on the blue link
Details -
On a new
Appveyorwindow, click, either, on the job name :-
Environment: compiler=MSC, platform=Win32; Configuration: Debug -
Environment: compiler=MSC, platform=x64; Configuration: Debug
-
-
On the new
Appveyorwindow which opens , click on theArtifacttab -
Click on the blue link
Notepad++.win32.Debug.exeorNotepad++.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.
