This isn't a request to rename files rather giving a friendly name to the left- and right-hand names. For example, I've got two files open, let's call them a.txt and b.txt and I saved a new session. Opening the session works fine as expected. If I swap the files in the IDE the text panes swap, again as expected. Where there might be (to me) some confusion is if I might inadvertently make a change to the wrong text file. I know, it's a silly thing to do, my fault, take the rap, serve the time, move on, lessons learned.
Seriously, I was wondering if it's possible to give a sort of friendly name to the text panes? Each pane contains the pathname but is it possible to give a friendly name to a.txt and call it "My file" and give b.txt a name like "Source control file"? Then if I swap the files around, the friendly names could move with them like the pathnames do. I'd not use it all the time but I'd like to know if it's possible and if so, how to do it. There seems to be a bit of free space under the pathname where other file details are displayed like the date/time stamp, file size and so on.
Edit: If my screenshot gets through it shows what I'm looking to do.
