How to warn of opening wrong file from linux terminal ?
« on: November 18, 2023, 12:23:04 AM »
My issue is I have 2 directories same master same source tree.  One tree I use for quick fixes and the other I use for longer term projects.  They have identical files except the files I’m working on. Each source tree is separate workspace in slickedit.

The problem is I use command line of my linux terminal to open file in slickedit using “vs fileName”

By accident I sometimes open file in the source tree that does not match my current slickedit workspace.  I started editing in and then sometimes later realize it is from the other source tree. It is annoying issue.

Is there anyway to set colors for files based on a parent directory or some other way to warn me if I do this ? This so I don’t waste time having to back out changes and move them to correct file.  Ideally I would be able to set color of background for a buffer depending on the path of the file.
