Server tabs

[coRpSE]

I am liking the new feature of the ability to connect to more then one server in a tab, but I do have a suggestion that I have seen done before in the past and made flipping through the tabs easier. The suggestion is to make the tabs colored so if you have just say, 3 connections open, one might be a light blue, the other might be a light red, and so on.

Its just a suggestions for its ease of use to quickly see the color and associations of that color to which server its associated with. I think it was Smart FTP that I originally saw the color association and it made it easier jumping from server to server and transfer files between them.

Hi - I am new to any development on linux (I am a windows/.NET/ASPX programmer).
Since I use filezilla a lot I thought I would contribute to it. And this feature (colored tabs) seems purrfect !

The thing is - this requeest is so old, I am not sure if anyone has worked/is working on it
So wanted to know if this is something that is already being worked on.

PS: I am using Anjuta as the dev environment. Coming from windows background - I dont think I can use emacs.
Wonder what other people use to develop the code... Anyone?

I'm not aware of anyone else currently working on this feature.

My IDE of choice these days is Qt Creator. Despite its name, it can be used for non-Qt projects as well.

Wow - I did not know that about Qt. Let me stick to anjuta for the time and lets see how it goes. The documentation on wxWidgetss is bad though

Actually - let me ask you this. Anjuta does the build using the existing autotools build chain from subversion.
Does QT let you do that too?

Yes. As long as the Makefile has already been created, you can use it.

Purrfect.
I was able to set the tab colors. So I know how to change the color of the tabs. Now my question is - how do you normally let features be added.
I am thinking of adding a preference for color in the Site Manager control. Users can associate color to sites (say, Red for Production site).

When users connect to it, the right tab color is used.

Now my question is - how do you normally let features be added.

Though I'm not a developer, patches are usually delivered as source diffs. The whole feature request process takes place in the tracker, not in the forums.
