Hello all, I've been using the 4.1 Q build. Works great. I have 2 requests: 1) it would be great if somehow one could color the editor tabs in some way that correlated with the project. So, when I'm editing File F from Release X of my project, all the tabs might have a red underline on the file name, while File F from Release Y would have a blue underline. Of course, Release X is in Netbeans project X and Release Y is in project Y. The underline color could default to "invisible" and a user could set the color in the project properties. There are some obvious extensions to this as well. For example, in the projects and files explorers, the left margin of the screen could have this color in it. For large projects, it's way too see only a list of file names and not the project context. Cut/Copy/Paste are tricky to use when one can't easily see from where one is cutting, or to where one is pasting, etc. Right now, it's way too easy to clobber a file from the wrong project as the only hint in the UI for the project name is in the window title bar. 2) I still find the dialogs open way too slow. When doing a search I find I can hit ^F or Shift-Alt-O and start typing before the dialog is up, causing the keystrokes to go into the editor window. I'm using the b17 Mustang build on Linux, 3.06 Ghz P4 with fast frame buffers, etc. Thanks! -- Alan
