      I have multiple notepadpp open,
      in each different session.
      But I do not know what session is open in any of the instance.
      How can I see in what session notepadpp is open? Thank you

        I don’t believe what you are seeking is currently possible. Notepad++ 's session related support is not great.

          Maybe someone recommends I use something else, not sessions?

            When I read your initial post I wondered why you could not tell what session a particular instance of Notepad++ you were looking at by looking at the file names in the tabs.

            If the file names are too similar then a thought is to set up several portable copies of Notepad++ and to configure each of them in slightly different but recognizable to you ways. For example, Notepad++ supports what it calls “Project panels” (in the View menu). You could set up one session to always be in panel 1, another in panel 2, etc. You use different colors, fonts, etc. for each copy.

            I agree though that it would be nice if Notepad++ had better session support. At present, opening a session file just adds the list of files in a session.xml file to the list of tabs and does not keep track of the name(s) of the session file(s) you have opened nor does it make an effort to keep those files up to date. The current handling of sessions is more like “import a list of files into Notepad++'s tabs of open files” and “export the list of open tabs into a file.”

            The Notepad++ manual section at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/session/ has more about sessions, workspaces, and project panels that may best work for you.

              Thank you for explanation
              Sublime has a good solution showing project name in title bar, but there are some futures in notepad++ that I like to use. I guess sublime spoiled me.
