      Hi,
      I’d like to use multi line tab bar.

      just so I can see more of my tabs at once

      But I’d like to have 2, 3 or 4 lines of tabs maximum and then horizontally scroll the rest of the way with my side scroll wheel on my mouse.

      Is there a way to limit this ?

      thanks !

            But not every conciegery task is easy to implement in code. With the existing “all or nothing” approach, it’s a simple Boolean toggle (if/else). Trying to split it up into on/some/off will be difficult (ie, that “some” logic will be convoluted, to be able to get a mix of features for the “on” and “off” modes – so either code duplication, or interleaving a lot more if/then conditions throughout the code, making it harder to maintain).

            It’s an interesting idea… and if someone knew how to implement it, I would personally have no problem with it being added as a third option. But it is likely to be a lot of work, and I am doubtful that the main developer would find it worth his while to implement (especially if there’s only one person interested in such a thing).

            But, if someone (you) were to put in an official feature request (rather than just talking about it with fellow users – see our Feature Request FAQ), then at least the developer and other volunteer contributors would be informed about the idea, and could decide for themselves whether they thought it was worth implementing. Plus, there, it could slowly amass upvotes – if it turned out that many people upvote the request, then it’s more likely that a volunteer would decide to take it on at some point in the future.

              Question for OP:

              Quick, without looking, what kind of data do you have in new126?

                And further to @Alan-Kilborn’s query: you do understand that, while Notepad++ does it’s best to keep unsaved changes in the temporary session-snapshot-and-periodic-backup folder, it does not guarantee that the OS won’t crash, causing the loss of some or all of those files. If you have 1-2 files worth of data loss from that, that’s horrible (as many, many posts have proven, over the years). But you have what is likely a hundred or more unsaved files in that screenshot. Which means if your OS gets in a bad mood, or if something interferes with a Notepad++ update process, you would lose huge amounts of data.

                Please, for the sake of all that information that I am sure you actually care about, please look into a way to save files to meaningful locations and institute appropriate backups for mission-critical data. Because I’d hate for you to be the next unfortunate soul to lose all their unsaved changes, and the best we would be able to tell you is “maybe try Recuva”. That stinks, for everyone involved (but mostly for you).

                We have a Backup FAQ to help you make informed decisions about your own saving and backup schemes. And I encourage people to use external backup software, and/or version control software, as appropriate.

                Please, PLEASE, don’t just continue working with a hundred or more unsaved files, hoping that nothing will ever go wrong.
