George,
Would you consider assigning "special" sessions like CLIP, SET, EFT, DIFF, etc a named Profile each?
Presently they all operate using the DEFAULT profile. Especially the EFT would benefit from some profile-related features, such as tab stops and AUTO-colorisation to aid readability.
Adding this to the DEFAULT profile would do the job, but also means that every new profile SPFLITE creates will inherit the setting (eg. tab stops) and the AUTO colorisation would apply to every file using the DEFUALT profile.
Not Ideal.
Would it be possible for such sessions to use a profile which matches their name (e.g. a CLIP session uses CLIP profile, EFT uses the EFT profile, etc)?

I didn't include DIFF because it has some special attributes with special handling.

George,
In version 2.7.22328 beta,
Two things.... a) What profile is assigned to say... a SET edit session please?
I tried SET and SET_EDIT but neither had any effect - the SET session opens with DEFAULT profile, although a DEFAULT.AUTO colorisation file has no effect despite HILITE FIND AUTO.
b) Given my penchant for macros, you won't be surprised to learn that the omission of DIFF is slightly disappointing. On the face if it, I agree, there appears to be little point in the case of DIFF. But the IMACRO facility is provided via the Profile, so no profile means no IMACRO capability. Which in turn removes users' ability to improve their productivity by tailoring the output from the DIFF command.
By the way - another slight oddity regarding the SPFLite window's 'TITLE' bar...
When editing a file,say ABC.AUTO,
the title bar reads EDIT - ABC.AUTO - SPFLite(v2.7.22328) S:\SPFLite\AUTO\ABC.AUTO
For a CLIP session, the Title bar reads CLIP - SPFLite(v2.7.22328)
For a DIFF session, the Title bar reads CLIP - SPFLite(v2.7.22328) For a EFT session, the Title bar reads EFT-Edit - SPFLite(v2.7.22328) For a SET session, the Title bar reads SET-Edit - SPFLite for: DEFAULT
The SET example strikes me as especially curious.

I'll look at DIFF again, maybe I was worrying excessively about interaction with the unique DIFF display.

Thanks.
Ahh, our actions, crossed, please refer to previous post re title bars. |

See the Beta post, it lists the Profile names as CLIP, SETEdit and EFTEdit.

George,
Maybe I'm losing my marbles (can't really afford to - not many left as it is), but...
I'm running the v22329 beta.
I've created a profile call SETEDIT
I've create a SETEDIT.AUTO colorisation file
I type SET primary command and the SET-Edit session opens.
Status Bar shows it is using Profile DEFAULT.
Issue PROFILE primary command and the same is confirmed.
Stumped.

Stefan: OK, there's something wrong in there, you're not going crazy. Well, that's what Betas are for.
I'm chasing it down.

Robert: Correct guess. The whole process of opening ANY file in a new tab gets incredibly involved, and the special cases just add another complexity layer. Add in the .profilename command override requirement to the mix and just tracing one open through it all takes forever.
It's working now.
Stefan: DIFF is now also supported.

George,
Thank you for following up on this.
We're definitely getting closer.
Using v2.7.22331 beta
SET primary comamnd opens the SET-EDIT session using the SETEDIT profile.
Both the Status Bar and a PROFILE primary command confirm this.
However, only some of the profile settings appear to be applied
e.g. MARK or TABS work, but AUTO colorisation and IMacro don't work

Stefan: Shows how those special Edit sessions really are special.
Checking.

[UPDATE]
Corrected, check Beta 22332

George, Good news and thank you. I have the IMACRO and Auto colourisation working for SETEDIT profile. SETEDIT is already is a more readable experience. I had hoped that it might also be consistent with EFT and offer the ; comment syntax, but alas it does not. My first thought was that this is because ';' is the comamnd separator, but SET-EDIT doesn't allow one ALIAS to execute more than one command anyway.
So could we perhaps have the ; comment syntax in SET-Edit sessions?
It would help me remember why on earth I have some of the SET entries that I do have.
I envisage something like this

Stefan: I'm doing stuff in SET right now anyway, so I'll have a look. It's harder than you'd think.
I'm yanking the PUSH / POP support. I never understood the thought behind it, and I don't believe anyone ever used it to my knowledge.
