#1 Don't warn if file deleted but mark tab with a symbol (feature request)

Posted by: Freeman | Date: 2025-11-21 13:03 | IP: IP Logged

I often use PSPad with Git. When I switch branches, some files opened in PSPad become deleted because not present in the branch I switched to. After that, any time when I activate PSPad window, it starts warn me about all of files became deleted. It's very annoying.

I suggest to add a feature to change this behavior:
* Menu item “Mark tab if file deleted” next to “Autorefresh Tab” under Window menu. When checked, it will disable file deletion warnings. It should be per-tab setting like autorefresh.
* Mark tabs same way as read-only tabs, but with a different symbol. I often use dagger (U+2020) to indicate something dead. This character presents in all popular fonts, so no problems displaying that.

If you change folder content on the background, the tab will be marked only, but content will stay from the old (non existing file). When you save it, you will create new file with old content.

Do you want to mark tabs individually? You know which ones are missing?

It looks weird to me.
