Same name for the tabs
-
I meant that:
Tab1 has order 1
Tab1 has order 2
Tab1 has order 3
and so on.
The system just wouldn’t let me correct what I wrote, some kind of spam protection that’s crooked. -

I’d say it is the person with
-1reputation point versus the one with+9463…Seriously, though, my (harsh) post was really designed to cause you to have a moment of reflection, to the tune of “IS what I’m wanting to do really dumb?”. There’s only one answer to that, IMO.
Cheers.

Bad Assumptions that over-engineer features.
He is absolutely correct.
Would you make a person’s email address their login and identifier?
Email addresses change. Names change–ask some women when they get married.
Use globally unique identifiers.
Don’t create brittle connections between system concerns (i.e., file names and identifiers) and view concerns (i.e., a tab label).
Most importantly don’t call someone dumb because you ASSUME something should be engineered a certain way.
+9463 arrogance.

I understand everything, but there is such a thing as an order or a unique code, could do so.
Since I’m not the developer, and this forum isn’t the issues tracker for Notepad++, telling us how you think it should be implemented will not change anything.
I will install an older version.
Good luck. Just remember, having unsaved documents as tabs with the same name will cause problems with many Notepad++ features, including the Search Results window: you are using an outdated Noteapd++ at your own risk.
At this point, I don’t see much of a reason for this discussion to continue, since the technical Notepad++ discussion seems to have run its course.

@Alan-Kilborn ++ to your answer. I would have asked the OP, “Why”??

Probably I didn’t because there is no good reason for it, and no good to come of it if it is possible (that outweighs the bad). I stand pat on this. Note that I’m only responding in this thread because you are a new poster.

@Alan-Kilborn I thought that “Why?” was appropriate. To me, it sounds illogical, and even confusing. If there is a productive reason for why this is a good idea, and how I would see it as a benefit, then I would be curious.

Yep.

OP has had ample time and opportunity to provide the “why”. Nothing stated has convinced me it is reasonable.
-
and who are you to justify such a demand?
It’s just as logical to ask, “why not?”
I would have responded, “because I have an idea and it’s none of your business.”
Another generalized example of why engineers are technicians and not architects.
Obviously this was possible before and someone took the time and effort to change it.
Why? It seems illogical to me if it wasn’t causing a problem.
And you can stick your -1s wherever you like. Not a single person here has disputed the facts of my statements. Not worth the time? or is it a lack of capacity?

Then if it’s none of his business, figure it out yourself. This is a volunteer help forum. People are gracious enough to come here and help people who have legitimate questions. @Alan-Kilborn 's original post was succinct and to the point. Then the OP posted a hypothetical argument, to which @Alan-Kilborn posted a likewise hypothetical answer.
The OP as well as you, seem more intent on wasting other people’s time in circular arguments and envious challenges to perceived authority, rather than in seeking legitimate help.
Most of us, as we age, recognize that when the pig is trying to wrestle with someone in the mud, it’s because the pig enjoys it. The volunteers here, however, have little patience to placate that intellectually bored shenanigans.
The question, no matter how legitimate it may have been at first, has devolved when it became a debate about hypotheticals, and even further when it started trying to devolve it into a morality argument. Fini.

I just had some tea.
This sentence has as much value as your +9463 reputation points. It doesn’t change anything and doesn’t make you superman.You’d better think about the nonsense you’re writing.
No one asked your opinion about what is stupid and what is not. Anything can look stupid if you think stupid. -
