Jussi,

I like the new tags-based syntax coloring, but I haven't used it enough to know whether the performance hit in (my) normal usage will work for me. Anyway, a couple of questions:

1) Would it be possible to use the workspace tag type labels on the tag type coloring selection dialog? I normally use a scheme of COBOL tag type names, and can never remember the match up without going a looking. This might be a bit problematic since I assume tags-based syntax coloring is document type based and tag type labels are project(?) or workspace-based. Perhaps if you use the labels for the current project? That's not ideal, but I can't think of anything else.

2) Is there a reason why Prototypes were excluded from the syntax tag coloring? I label them Files, which could be a handy coloring item in COBOL.

Hi Bill,

This might be a bit problematic since I assume tags-based syntax coloring is document type based and tag type labels are project(?)

This is 100% correct. Unfortunately, these names also appear at the bottom of the Category listbox in the Coloring panel, which makes them fairly tricky to change

Is there a reason why Prototypes were excluded from the syntax tag coloring?

Because each tag lookup does slows down the painting, for this first version, not all the tags where added. But I will look to add the prototypes to this list

Cheers Jussi
