Cudatext: Mark a tab when file was moved or deleted

Created on 6 May 2021  路  9Comments  路  Source: Alexey-T/CudaText

Hi Alex,

Somewhat related to #2786.

ST has a visual feature to indicate that a file was moved or delete, but currently CudaText I suppose it has not.

DeletedFile

Could you consider to do something about it?

after thinking: new char (eg #) will significantly increase the patch, some additional flags, etc. current patch was very small. so I want to decline 'the new char'.

what I can do-- show star-mark, but it will look like "file is modified in Cud" (not true)... not sure.

Currently ST only changes the forecolor:

hm, change only font color, maybe Ok. will work on it later.

ST3 3.2.2 marks such a tab the same, as modified tabs. maybe you try the ST4?

Ooh come on!!!, yes you are right, ST3 marks the same for modified and deleted file, mmm hohoho after I knew CudaText I never came back again to ST :bowtie: I didn't know ST4 was in development.

But finally, could you consider something to mark a deleted file?

yes, I agreed, and will mark deleted file as modified. like ST3.

I would prefer to use another status to identify separately if the file has changed content vs. when the file is deleted, but is OK no problem 馃憤

Maybe add two asterisks? or instead of * you can use #. I vote up to differentiate these two states.

Better use the sign "-" in order to indicate minus/delete?

A # char is indeed better than *, will try to add it. Minus char is not, may be in file name
