A simple tab manager for the PB IDE (Windows only)


With pbTabMan you can Save all opened tabs, Load or Clear them

I also had this idea and was on my ToDo list. Now I don't need to develop the tool.
Nice tool

Yes I had that, too. I developed my tool "Multicolor Procedure List" in 2012, but never finished it. Then this year it was newly developed and finished.

What does pbTabMan do, before I download it? There's no description in the first post.

Updated the first post ^^

Also some questions, before I download:

• Are the source codes saved even if they are not dirty? Ide 'Save all' doesn't do it. I would like it to save the open foldings, display position and tabposition, even if no changes are made to the text.
• All source codes will be reloaded, even if they are not saved? Sometimes I save my source code and reload it to delete the Undo/Redo stack.
• Clear all open tabs, sounds very dangerous. Are the contents of all tabs really deleted?

Due to some IDE limitations I was not able to perform the tasks from pbTabMan within a running instance.
pbTabMan will close the PB-IDE (with usual save prompts) and launch a standalone UI, where you can Save, Load and Clear... Internally I'm just reading/writing the path of each tab from/to the PureBasic.prefs ([OpenedFiles]) in the .\AppData\Roaming\PureBasic folder. Hope this helps?!
