I have about 50 files open in UltraEdit at any given time. These are a mix of code files, snippet of something I need to analyze like EDI contents, etc. What I cannot figure out is how UE decides what it's going to name new files and order them in the tab bar. Case in point, I just opened UE, clicked the new file button. This gave me a file named "Edit8". The tab appeared somewhere in the middle of the other tabs I have open. I then copied a line out of this file and hit the "new" file button again to paste just this one line into. This time, I got a new file named "Edit20". Edit20 appeared many tabs before the Edit8 I was just on. To make this more confusing, the tabs in the tab bar are not sorted alphabetically, so I don't know why UE decided to create Edit20 nor do I know why it decided to put the tab where it did. I do know it's really hard to jump around because I can't easily find the tab I was just on.
I also utilize the "Open files" sidebar. This makes it easier to jump around, but the order of files in this list is not the same as the tabs across the top.
Before I ever renew my subscription for UE, I would love to see this functionality cleaned up. If I create a new file (or open one), I would love to see that file appear directly after the file I'm currently on both in the side bar and the tabs across the top. I don't really care what UE names new files, but I really don't like what seems like a random assignment of order in the file list and tabs.
I don't understand the "Last file" and "Next file" and "Previous tab" and "Next tab" buttons under the "Window" ribbon menu. Those don't seem to do anything I expect.
In short, I would love to see the file navigation made sensible. I would never say that Visual Studio is anywhere close to perfect, but I would say they have thought about file navigation. Maybe that could be used as a guide.
Thanks
